Lucky Strike

Lucky Strike raises Bernese mountain dogs in Sonora, California, in the Sierra Nevada foothills of Gold Country, roughly an hour southeast of Sacramento. The program is run by Cynthia Burkett-Mcleod, who has been breeding on a small, home-based scale since 1994.

Health screening is a central part of the program, with attention to hips, eyes, and heart for both the Bernese mountain dog and Shih tzu lines. Cynthia is a member of the American Kennel Club and registers litters accordingly.

Puppies are raised inside the family home rather than in a kennel setting, spending their earliest weeks alongside children and other dogs. The property includes quiet outdoor areas where young dogs can move freely and explore at their own pace. Early grooming and leash introductions are part of the routine before puppies leave for their new homes. Families looking for Bernese mountain dog puppies in California will find a small-scale program that prioritizes daily handling and socialization from the start. Shih tzus are also bred as part of the operation.
