Our Process for Matching Families and Puppies
We match puppies and families based on the puppies’ temperament and personality, as well as the family’s lifestyle and interests.
The matching takes place when the puppies are around 6–7 weeks old, as by then we have a good understanding of their individual personalities and development.
Interested families are very welcome to visit us beforehand, so we can align expectations regarding both us and your future puppy – and at the same time get to know you better as prospective puppy owners.
If visiting in person is not possible, we are of course happy to arrange a video call (for foreign buyers).
For us, a puppy is not a commodity, but a living creature who becomes a part of your family for many years. Therefore, we expect that you provide incredibly good care for the puppy.
It is essential that there is trust between the puppy buyer and the breeder. It has to feel right – for both parties. As breeders, we believe it is just as important that you feel comfortable with us as it is that we feel comfortable with you. This is something we will mutually be able to sense when we meet – whether in person or online.
We set high standards for our buyers, as you probably set for us, and there are a series of rules and conditions for both parties. These will be agreed upon if you are buying a puppy from us.
To be eligible to buy a puppy from us, you must be prepared to:
🐾 visit the puppy at least two times before it moves home to you (for Danish buyers)
🐾 have the dog as part of your family, with the dog living with the family
🐾 participate in puppy training (obedience training for puppies) and continue training as much as possible
When you buy a puppy from us, you will receive:
🐾 a Bernese Mountain Dog puppy with an FCI / Danish Kennel Club pedigree and all legally required Danish markings and vaccinations
🐾 support throughout the dog’s life
When we do business, we enter a written agreement, which includes:
🐾 if the dog, for any reason, has to switch homes, you must contact us, and in these situations we may repurchase the dog
🐾 we recommend that the dog is HD and ED examined between 12 and 18 months of age, and that the results are either registered with the Danish Kennel Club or documented for us.
We follow Danish law on dog breeding.
We breed only puppies with DKK/FCI-pedigrees.
Why buy a puppy with a DKK/FCI pedigree?
Buying a puppy with a DKK/FCI pedigree is not about snobbery — it’s about responsibility, health, and predictability.
A DKK/FCI pedigree provides greater confidence in a puppys appearance, temperament, and health. It documents proven lineage and requires health screenings, helping to reduce the risks associated with breeding.
DKK/FCI breeders follow strict DKK, FCI and EU regulations for breeding practices and animal welfare.
As DKK/FCI breeders, we take responsibility for our dogs throughout their lives and remain available to support our puppy families if any challenges arise.
A DKK/FCI-registered puppy can:
🐾 be pedigreed in all FCI countries
🐾 participate in shows in all FCI countries
🐾 be used for breeding in all FCI countries (if the dog meets official breeding requirements)
