Newell and I live in Hanover, PA just miles from the Maryland border with our four dogs and three cats. We have two children, Andrew and Meredith both now in college. We have raised Bernese for nearly 20 years as loving companions for our family.

I saw my first Bernese when I was just 13 years old when I adopted a retired show dog. CH Sanctuary Wood's Early Bird lived with us for two years until she died, and it was from that moment on that I knew I would always have Bernese Mountain Dogs.

Baxter, Willow, Tanner and Frieda now share our home and our life. We are so proud of our dogs and we hope you enjoy visiting our site.
