Holly & Westley's Canceled Fall Litter 2024
Holly has had a medical issue come up that is being looked into further. For her health I am canceling this litter & will be retiring Holly early to enjoy life as a family pet. I have 2 upcoming females that I have added to my program that will be having puppies this fall. Families are welcome to move a fully refundable deposit too the Main Litter list or can have their deposits fully refunded. Thank you for understanding, my priority is always the health of my dogs.
​
​
The pups will all be traditional tri color with medium/long soft coats. Holly is 68 & Westley is 85: I expect girls to be approximately 65-85 lbs & 75-95 lbs for boys. Both parents are extremely gentle & mellow in nature. Their previous puppies together have grown up too be gentle, affectionate & intelligent family dogs. Four have begun their training as service dogs & have shown great potential so far with their trainers. I hope to have a few puppies from this litter go into therapy & service dog homes where they can make a positive impact in their family's lives!
​
Puppy Socialization​
My puppies are raised using a socialization program Puppy Culture & ENS. This program uses positive training to teach pups that new experiences are fun & safe not something to fear or be anxious about. The puppies will work on: potty training, crate training, going on car rides, visiting the vet, being groomed & having their nails trimmed. I have the puppies play with kids of all ages, adults, other gentle adult dogs of various sizes & our cat.​​
​
Puppy Health Care
The pups will be on a health care schedule supervised by my vet. Their first de-worming's are at 2, 4, 6 & 8 weeks & they receive their first Parvo/Distemper vaccination at 5 weeks & second vaccination at 7-8 weeks. Each pup has a microchip implanted & I pre-pay lifetime registration. They all have individual thorough vet checks before going home & you will receive a written exam report from the vet.

Holly is a beautiful Berner girl with a gentle personality. She is 68 lbs & has a smaller but square stocky build with kind eyes & a blocky square face. She loves people & although she is patient & waits her turn for pets once she gets up on the bed or couch she will stay cuddled up for hours when I have time. She is very good with the other dogs - not dominant or pushy. Her & Westley are especially good friends & love sitting on the couch together etc. She does great with kiddos & loves meeting people. Holly isn’t much of a barker & usually watches through the window waiting for me to get through the door & give her love.

Meet Westley the father to Bernese Mountain dog pups here! His name is inspired by the valiant hero Westley in “The Princess Bride”. He is a very well-structured boy with a thick fluffy coat. Westley is a very laid-back boy especially for his age. He spends a lot of time napping on the couch with the girls but if I’m there he watches me very intently often with a curious, expressive head tilt. His favorite treat is string cheese which he very delicately nibbles from my hand Westley is 85 lb. & his health clearances are:
PennHip - DI 0.36 = Excellent score showing no predispositions to hip dysphasia.
OFA Hips - Good

Testimonial on Holly & Westley's past puppy Kiva:
I hadn’t planned on getting a puppy yet, but my circumstances changed and Brie at Oregon Bernese had puppies available. I was looking for a service dog prospect, and was really happy with her stance on preserving the breed’s health and temperament. The stars aligned, we temperament tested some puppies, and I brought home my puppy the end of April. He’s now 6 months old, happy and healthy, an adorable goofball, and has completed his first set of obedience classes. The trainer I’m working with thinks he has what it takes to be a great service dog, and everyone is in love with him. He’s such an amazing dog already and I’m so happy to have him in my life.
