Lucky Strike

Lucky Strike, Bernese mountain dogs and Shih tzus in Sonora, CA, Gold Country near Sacramento are raised for family companionship. With a focus on clear hips, eyes and heart health, Cynthia Burkett-Mcleod is a member of the American Kennel Club and follows recommended screening protocols for each breed.

Puppies grow up inside the family home alongside children and older dogs to build early social skills. The property’s quiet outdoor areas and shaded patios allow gentle play and exploration. One recent visitor noted how calm and confident the puppies appeared when meeting new people. Adult dogs live in clean, temperature-controlled kennels with daily access to secure yards for supervised exercise. Puppies start gentle leash training and basic grooming sessions to ease transitions into new homes. Both breeds benefit from the early handling routines that encourage confidence and trust in a variety of settings.
