Progressive Canine

Progressive Canine, Bernese mountain dogs and poodles, Ronks, PA, Lancaster County near Lancaster. With multiple years of experience, Mervin Petersheim maintains breeding standards aligned with American Kennel Club guidelines and emphasizes health screenings for hips and eyes. Puppies are raised in a heated barn with daily social time on grass runs and regular family interaction to foster well-rounded temperaments.

The family property includes multi-generational farmland where gentle handling and early exposure to farm sounds help puppies adapt to varied environments. All puppies receive initial vaccinations and regular vet check-ups to ensure a healthy start. Coat grooming routines start early to help them adjust to professional trimming sessions, and adult dogs enjoy indoor climate-controlled spaces in winter as well as shaded runs in summer. Mervin shares his hands-on knowledge on feeding schedules and basic training methods so new owners feel prepared. Ongoing support and health follow-ups are offered throughout each dog’s life.
