Website: www.southernwillowranch.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/southern.willow.ranch Our puppies are well-adjusted to a home environment and socialized at home with children, other dogs, cats, etc. We also socialize our puppies in public teaching them to meet new strangers, as well as experiencing new sights and sounds. All of our puppies are vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, and taken to the vet for a health check before going home. A DREAM COME TRUE Our dream of owning a Bernese Mountain Dog began shortly after we got married. However, at the time we were living in Hawaii and trying to find a Bernese in Hawaii was absolutely impossible!!! Instead, we decided the moment we moved back to the mainland our goal was to get one of these beautiful puppies! My husband grew up raising Golden Retrievers all through high school and we knew that raising puppies for other families to love and enjoy was something that we desired to do together one day. I won't lie we had many debates on whether or not our dog should be a Golden Retriever or a Bernese Mountain Dog : ) In the end the Bernese won our hearts! The more we watched videos of these beautiful dogs, and the more we read about the breed, the more we fell in love with their quirky personalities! After much time spent in researching we discovered an excellent breeder. We were still living in Hawaii at the time but we wanted to go ahead and request to be put on their waiting list. Exactly one year later we were matched with our sweet girl, Maya. However, we soon found out that just one Bernese wasn't going to be enough! After about a year of having Maya we decided it would be a fun adventure to add another Berner to the family. That adventure began when we brought home little, Braxton, the day before Thanksgiving. Isaac and I have absolutely loved having two Berners! It has been so entertaining to watch their individual personalities interact with one another. A little bit about our dogs: Both of our dogs are well-bred and are fully registered with the AKC. Our vet has run wellness exams on both of our dogs and all of the tests have been confirmed normal. If you are interested, both Braxton and Maya's bloodline information can be found on AKC as well as Berner-Garde. Maya's father was actually imported from Europe in order to add more of the European-style Bernese pedigree. If you would like more information on this I would be happy to share the links to where this information can be found. My husband and I are still very new to breeding with this being our first litter. However, we have done a good bit of research and have absolutely fallen in love with the Bernese Breed.
