My husband and I live in a country
setting in New Brunswick.
We have 130 acres
full of trails, streams, a pond and borders on the
Nerepis river which is a Ducks Unlimited preserved
area for all of us to enjoy.
The dogs are very much a part of the family
and live in the house. Breeding Bernese is not a
business for me, it is a hobby and passion, one
with many ups and downs. I’ve had Berners in my life since
purchasing my first girl from Eve Menegoz in
1991. I enjoy showing in conformation (both my
own dogs and selective all breed handling) as well as
teaching, training and trialing in obedience and
draft.
We started drafting competitively back in
2001 and love it. It shows that the breed can do
some of what they were bred to do and all of my nieces and
friends love to go for a ride in the cart as
well. All of the girls either know how to draft or are
in different stages of
learning.

I am a member
of:
the Canadian Kennel Club
(CKC),
the New Brunswick Kennel Club
(NBKC),
the Bernese Mountain Dog Club
of Canada (BMDCC),
the Bernese Mountain
Dog Club of America (BMDCA),
and the
Bernese Mountain Dog Club of Nashoba Valley
(BMDCNV)

I’ve held executive positions with the NBKC
and the BMDCC. I was the Conformation Dog Show
Rep for our Zone for the CKC for two years
running and am currently the Draft Dog rep for this
zone as well.
My goals in breeding Bernese are simple but
not so easy to attain- a healthy, long
lived, sweet Bernese that exemplifies the standard.
I am very committed to trying to improve the health and
longevity of this wonderful breed. You will see in my
breeding program that health is a priority from
the extensive clearances that we do as well as
the pedigrees and clearances of those we choose for our
girls.
I hope you enjoy your visit to our virtual
home and if you get the chance to come and visit
us in person, please
do.
