Our
goal at Holiday Bernese Mountain Dogs is to
have the top show/breeding bloodlines in the
world. We strive for quality and type in
our show dogs. We base our lines solely on
the best European, Italian and American
bloodlines. We want to create a healthy &
structurally sound Bernese Mountain Dog
unlike no others. We strive to produce
dogs with impressive Confirmation & Movement
& Structural Draft Type & friendly
Temperament. Our dogs are part of our
cherished family and we spend lots of time
with them. Our dogs are put through
Genetic Testing starting at 1 year of age
and final OFA ratings at 2 years of age.
You will see each of our dogs clearances and
pedigrees on their pages and we list all our
dogs on Berner Garde with their health
clearances.
My
husband Marcus, my son Dalton and I, live on
a 15 acre farm outside the town of Rock
Rapids, Iowa. It is located in the NW
corner of Iowa. We are 30 miles from
the closest airport which is
located in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
We just love it out here; it is peaceful and
beautiful and set off the road about 1/8th
of a mile. At our farm the
puppies are introduced to horses, cats, a
couple small pet dogs and lots of people
friends.
My husband Marcus, is the greatest
Chiropractor around~! We promote
health and good nutrition for both humans
and dogs and our horses. We all have
Chiropractic care at our finger tips when
needed :)

I
also breed Quarter Horse Halter Horses.
They are judged on confirmation.
This is the same quality I bring to the
Bernese Mountain Dogs…excellent
confirmation, quality and temperament.
My Berners love to work out in the horse
barn with me; they enjoy horses and the new
born foals.
The Bernese Mountain Dog is raised as a
family dog to be very loving, good natured,
alert and fearless in any given situation.
The Bernese Mountain Dog will bark when
strangers come to your house, but they will
stay friendly. They will stay friendly
and bark until the owner comes out at which
time they will then be relaxed and stop
barking.
The Bernese Mountain Dog was originated in
Switzerland and used as a farm dog and as a
guard dog that was able to roam around the
farm freely. The dog loves to be
outside and will stay close to the owners
whether they are in the house, garden, or
barn. The Bernese Mountain Dog
loves other animals and very gentle with
them.
My son, Dalton, and I love working with the
Bernese Mountain Dogs. We both agree
that these are the most loving, personable
and incredible dogs on earth~! We have
chosen to stick with the original European
lines of the breed in our program. We
feel that this is what the breed started out
as and we want to continue with that strong
quality of the Imported Original
Swiss Bernese Mountain Dog~!
Let Holiday Bernese Mountain Dogs bring some
"Holiday"
Joy into your family~! |
