Health & Care
Healthy Start. Happy Life.
A Berner is part of your family for years. We take the health questions seriously long before you ever meet your puppy.
DNA testing on every adult
All of our adult dogs have been DNA tested and are clear of the genetic conditions that could affect their lives or be passed on to puppies.
- Testing done on every adult, not a sample of them
- Cleared for the conditions that can be inherited
- The same standard applies to every litter we raise
Everything done before eight weeks
Puppies go home with all of the early health work already complete, so you are not chasing vet visits in the first week.
- All shots up to eight weeks old
- Deworming completed
- Dew claws removed
100% purebred Bernese Mountain Dogs
Every puppy comes from our own line of Bernese Mountain Dogs — no mixes, no shortcuts, no surprises.
- Purebred Bernese Mountain Dogs
- Raised in our home, handled daily
- Socialized around family life from the start
Federally licensed and inspected.
Licensed, Inspected, Accountable
The Berner's Ranch is a USDA-licensed kennel, which means our facility is inspected under the standards of the United States Department of Agriculture — the same rules that govern commercial breeding operations nationwide.
- Licensed under the U.S. Department of Agriculture
- Facility inspected against federal standards
- Kennel conditions, care, and record-keeping reviewed
- The same accountability you would expect from any licensed operation
We are glad to walk you through what that means for your puppy — and we would rather you ask than wonder.
Why We Do It This Way
Health testing and early vet care are not extras we tack on to make a listing look good. They are the minimum we would want if we were the ones bringing a puppy home.
"We never want a surprise vet bill or heartbreak for your family, so we do the work up front."
— Roger
