Because this seems to still be important information for buying puppy right now. Huge demand means more non-reputable breeders and scams are popping up. Just remember you won't find a reputable breeder on social media as their only point of contact and anyone can build a slick website. Only breeders breeding for health can be found putting ALL their breeding dog's health clearances (hips, elbows, heart, eyes) in Bernergarde.org. The wait is worth a puppy bred for health and a breeder who will support you through the life of a dog!!

Why it is so hard to find a good Bernese Mountain Dog puppy during the pandemic? I share why it is important to be patient for reputable breeders who you can...
