welcome to brookwood Bernese Moutain Dogs

 We welcome you  to come and meet the dogs/puppies before desiding if we are the right breeder for you. Visits are by appointment only, usually on Mondays, Fridays, or Saturdays.  

 With every puppy we sell, we offer a short term health guarantee and a 2 Year Genetic Health Guarantee. We ask that you take your puppy to your vet within 14 days of purchase  for two reasons: 1.) to establish care with your veterinarian and 2.) to verify that you received your puppy in a 'fit for sale' condition. We do not guarantee our puppies against parasites or Giardia since puppies can pick both up very easily.  We offer a 2 year genetic health guarantee that covers terminal illness or significant disability proven to be of genetic origin through proper veterinary testing.  

We start our puppies off with the Royal Canin puppy Starter. This is a special formula just for tiny puppy stomachs. As the puppies get older, they begin to eat a large breed puppy formula.  We feed our puppies age 2-12 months either of these foods:

• Royal Canin Large Breed Puppy Food
• Diamond Naturals Large Breed Puppy Formula 
• Nutri-Source Large Breed Puppy Formula

If is very important to make sure you are feeding a 'Large Breed Puppy Formula'. Regular puppy foods  are often have too high in fat. Too much fat causes growth problems in large breed puppies. If you have questions about puppy food, please contact us. 

We recommend a puppy vitamin and a probiotic for your puppy as he or she grows. For the puppies we raise, we use the Nutri Vet Puppy Vitamins. We use  Proviable Probiotics for a great good probiotic. I also use Juru Gut Sheild to strengthen my pup's gut response against parasites. 

Our puppies usually wake up around 6:30/7 AM when we take them outside first to go potty. They often spend an hour paying outside in their puppy yard then while we clean up their pens and get their breakfast ready. The pups eat breakfast around 7:30 and then go potty again afterwards. For the rest of the morning, they mostly sleep and play sometimes. Sometime around noon the pups eat lunch and spend a little while outdoors exploring. During the afternoon, they sleep again. Around 4 PM, they go outside to play for a while. After eating around 6PM, they have quiet time until 8-9 PM. That's when we top off their food dish and tell them goodnight! 

Typically, our puppies leave between ages 8-10 weeks. Sometimes we have pups available at an older age. Puppies may not leave our home a day before they are 8 weeks old! It is the law!

• a crate for the pup to ride in or a second person to hold the pup while you drive (this may also depend some on your travel distance)
• a 12-14" collar or harness and a leash
• water dish and water (food if you are traveling more than 4 hrs)
• old bath towels and/or paper towels for if your pup gets carsick on the way home.
• a blanket to rub on mom to take home her scent for your puppy. 

We offer ground and air transport. Ground transport to the surrounding states is available with our reliable transport nanny, Concetta Kilmer. If you want to fly out for your puppy, the pup can fly home with you in the cabin as long as she is between 8-9 weeks old. (The sooner after 8 weeks the better). Your pup can also fly to you and you can pick your pup up at your nearest airport. We hire a flight nanny for this service, usually either Concetta, Jesse, or Julie. I no longer manage flights myself because of my personal work schedule. Feel free to request a quote for puppy transport, transport fees are in addition to the puppy price. 

Our puppies LOVE balls, rings (like donut toys), and  toys with a handle. It's a bonus if they squeak!!  These things are all easy for them to carry in their mouth! Stay away from tennis balls and rawhide toys.  

Our puppies are vaccinated for Parvo, Distemper, and Kennel Cough are the appropriate ages.  You'll get a vaccination record with your puppy. Our puppies are also dewormed regularly.  Please be careful to keep your puppy away from dog parks and other places where dogs in your neighborhood frequent until your puppy has received all his puppy vaccines. 

Our puppies are microchipped for permanent ID as required by the USDA. Our puppies come with prepaid lifetime Reunite enrollment.  

All our puppies are sold with limited AKC registration. Requests for full AKC registration are considered on a case-by-case basis. Full AKC is an additional $500.
