Bear-Acres Kennel

Bear-Acres Kennel is a small family breeder of Bernese mountain dogs and Newfoundlands in Bedford, KY, Trimble County and the Bluegrass region near Louisville. With over a decade of experience and membership in recognized breed clubs, it follows recommended health testing protocols for hips, elbows, and cardiac screening.

Puppies grow up indoors underfoot, joining daily socialization routines before exploring fenced pastureland, woodland trails, and creek-bottom fields around the property. Parent dogs live on site, receiving regular grooming and balanced nutrition tailored to large-breed needs. The kennel’s approach blends gentle handling with early exposure to basic training cues and supervised off-leash play, preparing each dog for companion life, therapy work, or low-impact performance sports.

Positive feedback from local owners highlights the puppies’ calm temperaments, sturdy physiques, and adaptability to new homes. Each litter is limited to three to five puppies to ensure focused care and early temperament assessments.
