Encore

Encore raises Bernese mountain dogs in Naperville, Illinois, about 30 miles southwest of Chicago in the DuPage County suburbs. The program is led by Lori Delk, who came to the breed through conformation showing and has expanded her dogs' activities well beyond the show ring.

The Berners at Encore participate in drafting, obedience, rally, agility, and therapy dog work, and are also Farm Dog Certified. Lori serves as President and newsletter editor for the Bernese Mountain Dog Club of Northeastern Illinois (BMDCNI) and holds membership in the Bernese Mountain Dog Club of America (BMDCA), as well as several local training clubs. Her involvement in the regional club reflects a broader investment in the breed community, not just her own kennel.

For anyone searching for Bernese mountain dog breeders in Illinois with active performance titles and club affiliations, Encore stands out as a program rooted in hands-on work with the dogs rather than breeding alone.
