There’s nothing quite as heartwarming as witnessing the joy and excitement of a dog becoming a mother for the first time. In our family, we recently experienced this incredible moment as our beloved Bernese Mountain Dog, Ash, gave birth to her first litter of adorable puppies. We are thrilled to share this incredible journey with you, as Ash welcomed eleven bundles of joy into the world. Let’s dive into the story of Ash’s remarkable journey as a new mother and celebrate the arrival of these precious little ones.

A Tale of Love and Care:

From the moment we brought Ash into our lives, we knew she was a special dog. With her gentle nature, loving disposition, and striking coat of black, white, and rust, she quickly became the heart and soul of our home. As Ash blossomed into a young adult, we began contemplating the idea of allowing her to have a litter of puppies, not only for the joy it would bring us but also for the opportunity to pass on her incredible traits to future generations.

The Expectant Wait:

As Ash’s pregnancy progressed, we watched eagerly, making sure she received the utmost care and attention. We consulted with our trusted veterinarian, who guided us through each stage of the pregnancy, providing advice on nutrition, exercise, and general well-being. We created a cozy space for Ash in our home, ensuring she had a safe and comfortable area to rest during this critical time.

The Big Day Arrives:

After an anxious wait, the big day finally arrived. Ash’s labor began, and we provided her with the support and encouragement she needed. As each puppy made its way into the world, we marveled at the miracle of life and the undeniable bond between mother and child. Ash exhibited remarkable maternal instincts, caring for her newborns with unwavering dedication and tenderness.

Eleven Little Miracles:

To our delight, Ash gave birth to a litter of eleven healthy and beautiful Bernese Mountain Dog puppies. Each puppy bore their unique markings, and we could already see a mix of Ash’s playful spirit and loving nature shining through in their tiny eyes. The puppies’ arrival filled our home with an overwhelming sense of joy and excitement, as we start to watch them grow stronger and more curious with each passing day.

We can’t wait to see personalities start to blossom, and what fun we will have with them before they go to their forever homes.

Good job Ash! you will be a wonderful mother!!

​We take pride in being a responsible breeder. This commitment to an exceptional breeding practice is what allows us to offer health guarantees on all of our puppies. Breeding is planned well in advance. We are very particular when breeding, checking pedigrees, temperament, suitability, and structure to maintain the breed standard.  We acknowledge that purchasing a pet from us may not be the perfect fit for everyone and want to express a heartfelt thanks to all the good people who adopt their pets from rescue organizations. Their willingness to take on pets that may carry ‘extra baggage’ is a great example to all of us.

If you are determined you are ready to take on the responsibility of a puppy, we strongly encourage you to seek out responsible breeders. This is for the betterment of the breed, for society, and most importantly for a great experience for you, your dog, and your family.

Even the finest puppies in the world need a lot of time, love, patience, and attention. If you feel like you are committed to giving your time, love, and affection in return for an overabundance of devotion, friendship, love, joy, silly puppy kisses, and everlasting memories, we would love to help you out!
