We raise Bernese Mountain Dog puppies on a premium puppy program and advanced curriculum. It's not buying a puppy. It's adding to the family.
(1)

Adding a puppy to your family should be more like adopting a child than shopping for a new pair of shoes. When you invest in a Blackwood Acres puppy, you are investing in your dog’s future, the same way you’d invest in a private school or college education for your child. You can rest assured that your puppy is being raised to be the best version of themself: confident, resilient, and empowered. E

very dog deserves the best start in life. Your puppy will be raised on our premium puppy program, where they will participate in 8 weeks of an advanced service dog curriculum. Before being chosen, they will complete a temperament evaluation, so you can match yourself with the best fit for your family. Adding a new family member isn’t something you take lightly, and at Blackwood Acres we don’t either.
