Prefix : DARKCRUSH (Bernese Mountain Dog)
*PLEASE READ BEFORE CONTACTING ME*
Our aim at Darkcrush is to produce sound, typical Bernese who can perform in the show & obedience rings, yet ultimately be faithful family companions for both ourselves & our puppy buyers.
We screen our breeding stock for Hip & Elbow Displaysia (AVA xray scoring after 12mths of age), Von Willebrands Disease (VwD), & Degenerative Myelopathy (DM) for both genes (SOD1A & SOD1B). We can talk you through the pedigrees of our dogs incl. lifespans & any known health issues.
Bernese world-wide have a lifespan of just shy of 8 yrs, so please do your research into the breed before purchasing as they will not suit everyone. Please beware of scammers & non-reputable breeders!! Facebook posts saying "available now" are not legit!
I am an ANKC breeder registered with DOGS Victoria and sell all pups on Limited papers between 8-12 weeks of age. As a small breeder wait times for puppies may vary (I do not keep a wait list). I ask that you please only call me on Saturdays, or between 4pm-7pm weekdays. If I do not answer, PLEASE leave a voicemail.
Please note that I do not sell pups interstate.
Email enquiries should include your name/s, location, lifestyle, & what you are looking for in a companion.
Conformation & performance enquiries are welcomed.
**SMS enquiries are NOT responded to.**
We don't keep a wait list, but general breed enquiries are encouraged. Please note that not all homes are suitable to Bernese. We may advise another breed for you.
Next Litter Planned: Unknown
