Multi CH Gulliver Gonzales av Hiselfoss  x Rose des Plages van't Rijkenspark 

Layla at 11 weeks adjusted to her new climate.

Layla has the incredible Rijkenspark temperament that I love so much.
She has gorgeous conformation with a playful attitude and we just can't wait to
introduce her to the world. For now though we are just introducing her to our
climate and giving her lots of love and attention.

Her page with impressive pedigree will be posted soon.
Thank you to Karla and Bert Zurhaar from Kennel van't Rijkenspark,
The Netherlands, for sending this beautiful girl to Wisconsin and
giving us the opportunity to share our lives with her.
(she loves the snow by the way!)

Snowbound Kennel is located in beautiful western Wisconsin, and yes, we do get snowbound at times.  This winter has been fantastic in the midwest and the Bernese couldn't be happier. We run a small kennel, breeding for quality, not quantity so we have limited litters.  Our goal in breeding is to produce pups that are sound both mentally and physically and to the breed standard.

We are careful to research pedigrees and observe dogs prior to mating to insure the best possible pups we can produce.  Our goal is to improve our line with each breeding and to maintain standards for the breed.  Our concentrated effort is to produce dogs with great temperaments.  Our pups are introduced to many levels of age appropriate stimulation, beginning with neonatal at day 3-16.  Adult and pups alike receive all natural nutrition. We feel the Bernese is perfect for families and companionship.  They are a working dog so must be trained properly to become a valued member of their family. Basic obedience, at a minimum, is in my contract.
Bernese also excel in obedience, drafting, agility and therapy work, as well as the show ring.

Being a large breed, the Bernese is prone to hip/elbow dysplasia as well as other health concerns.  Please research this breed.  Your breeder should be willing to discuss health concerns with you as well as nutrition and proper exercise. Your breeder should have OFA papers and pedigrees available to serious puppy inquiries. Your breeder should only breed the Bernese and should ask YOU many questions as to your lifestyle and expectations in a pup.
