Bernese Mountain Dogs
Our dogs are more than pets, they’re our family members.
Our mission is to preserve the Bernese Mountain Dog breed through thoughtful breeding to bring out the best health and temperament traits possible.
Meet the Island dogs
Islands’ Bernese is a small kennel with dogs who live under foot, snuggle up on the couch, and are spoiled rotten. We select dogs for breeding based on their structure, health testing, and temperament. Our adult dogs are responsibly bred and a testament the wonderful qualities of the Bernese Mountain Dog breed.
“The Bernese Mountain Dog is a striking. tri-colored, large dog. He is sturdy and balanced. He is intelligent, strong and agile enough to do the draft and droving work for which he was used in the mountainous regions of his origin.”

Puppy process
Because our mission is to further the Bernese Mountain Dog breed and to produce healthy dogs with lovely temperaments, we do not always have puppies available. Read more about responsible breeding here.
Our ultimate goal is to match the right puppy with the right family, so the first step in the process for getting on our waiting list for puppies is to fill out an application so we can understand what you’re looking for and whether one of our dogs would be a good fit for you.
