Raising loyal, loving puppies starts with happy, healthy parent dogs, which is why we are focused on making sure our dogs are stress-free, active, and living their best lives.
All the dogs at Faith & Family Farm represent the best qualities of a Bernese Mountain Dog; they are gentle, calm, affectionate, faithful, and the ideal human companions.
To be part of our breeding program, our dogs must pass general and reproductive physicals and be genetically cleared for hereditary diseases.
Each puppy is born of parents with excellent bloodlines, emphasizing good health and longevity. On occasion, we utilize outside stud dogs employing the same rigorous testing criteria we have for our own dogs.
Our dogs are all dearly-loved members of our family and have been raised around children, other dogs, and a menagerie of farm animals. We see them as pets first, and we love spending time with them, whether we’re relaxing in the house or outside on our small family farm. They are usually running through puddles, digging for critters, romping in the snow, or laying around enjoying the sunshine. It’s a pretty good life for a dog!
