We'd grown up with dogs among other animals and knew it would be a large breed or none at all:). In 2019, we became owners of Kenia and Snickers. Inka came on the scene in Jan. 2024 and in Sept 2024, Snickers died suddenly. By Thanksgiving, Watson had filled in the gap and now in 2026, we kept back Sasha, from Inka's first litter. One of the pups from a litter Watson sired, joined us in April. We named her Kangaroo and hope these 2 pups will be the potential we need in continuing to breed quality berners! Ever since Snickers and Kenia arrived here, we’ve been striving to learn more about health testing, nutrition, and diversifying bloodlines. Not to mention how environmental factors including chemical stressors are affecting this breed’s general health, lifespan and bone structure… We also realized the importance of COI and are happy that Watson and Inka both have extremely low score. It’s a journey, but we enjoy learning and applying the knowledge we glean. We are indebted to the many breeders we’ve learned to know over the years for all they’ve shared with us...socialization techniques, supplementing, and so much more.
A shoutout to our faithful vet, Dr. Johnny Weiss, at Middletown Veterinary Hospital as well as Dr. Weeman of Central Shores Veterinary services. Big thanks to them for playing there part in keeping our dogs happy and healthy, providing pre-breeding exams and so much more expertise. Also thanks to Select Breeders Services for there help with reproductive-related services! Without each one, we would not be where we are!
The best part of breeding, is seeing many of our pups go on to serve as therapy dogs. Wether certified or not, they fill a much-needed spot.
We are a family located in Elkton MD near the Chesapeake Bay.
