Last fall, we lost our sweet family pet, a Golden Retriever that we had had for 14 years. Our two youngest kids started searching for the perfect dog for our family. Our 15 year old spent hours on the internet reading and studying for the perfect dog for us. She wanted a dog more than anything in this world. It was such a fluke that she happened onto your website and we all fell in love with your family of Berner pups! Our daughter at college was coming down for the weekend, so she picked him up and surprised everyone.
It took us a whole month to agree on a name. We finally named him Bear and it fits him really well. Our neighbors call him "the big Brown Bear," due to our last name being Brown, and he already weighs 32 pounds. He has become somewhat of a celebrity here in our little southern Utah town. It is so much fun to show him off because not many have ever heard of this breed. We spend lots of time at a local ski resort and everyone loves him there also. We can't wait to take him around in the snow.
Bear quickly became a much loved part of our family! He misses the kids when they go to school and he lays his head back and howls. It is so darling.
We are attending dog training classes with a group that trains dogs for search and rescue. He loves to go and spends lots of time socializing with the other dogs. (we laugh about him being the "class clown.") We couldn’t love this dog more.
Thank you for the great care you have given these pups. It is very evident. Our dog trainer was very impressed with his confident, happy manner, and she said she could tell he had been cared for and socialized well from a small puppy.
I hope this gives you a small glimpse of your/our cute Berner Bear and how he is doing. Give his mom a hug!
