Susan and Aaron’s Bernese puppies are just beyond expectation. This is my first Bernese, nevermind dog, in a very long time. I knew what I was looking for as far as temperament, type, health, etc., but couldn’t pick in person. Susan was really great with my questions and I like that she prefers to speak with you rather than E-Mail. It is just better when acquiring an animal. She got me plenty of photos and even though I had a few setbacks with timeframe / transport, etc., we got everything worked out. I got Haven out of the February litter whom I renamed as Kenna. I can honestly say she is very secure, not shy or timid at all, which I attribute some of that to her upbringing with children, etc. She barely barks unless playing and does not bark or whine when left alone. She has a wonderful temperament, very intelligent, fast learner, etc. She loves everyone, including other animals. I can’t see her being a guard dog as she won’t bark at strangers LOL – everyone is a playmate to her. Her structure and joints are great so far, per my vet’s thorough examination due to the problems large breed dogs are prone to.
I think the bloodlines Unique Bernese works with are very good and I certainly recommend their puppies. Just do your homework on the breed and handling a new puppy and common problems, so you are prepared. If you get a puppy, the first week or two I’d advise just feeding a homemade rice, meat, pumpkin mix with some probiotic yogurt. And filtered water only. I did this to avoid any diarrhea from stress due to travel and a new environment. Worked perfectly. Though, when she arrived, she seemed like it was no big deal. No problem adjusting at all and she’s always slept through the night since day 1. Which was amazing. I really cannot say enough. Sue and Aaron’s Bernese really are Unique ! Fitting name.
