Litter Statistics

Our stats list hip and elbow evaluations and age and cause of death (if known) among other information.  This is important information for you the potential puppy buyer (PPO) to make informed choices when it comes to purchasing your beloved companion.  My statistics gives you a graphic example of the typical health strengths and weaknesses in the bernese.   No breeder can guarantee to you that your pup will never become ill and if any breeder tries to tell you that they have no problems in their lines - they are lying.  Bernese, like any purebred dog, are not without their health problems.  Don't be fooled by fancy, slick websites promising you the moon - ask them to provide concrete proof in the form of written documentation, such as copies of the hip and elbows certifications, NOT a simple "oh, my vet said they were fine".
