Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone has any information on a breeder from
Colorado with the last name of Bunch. Not sure of the first name.
If you know this breeder or know about this breeder, please contact
me privately.
Thank you -

Dear Deasun & Judith
A good place to start looking for a breeder in your area as well as get to
meet the dogs is to go to the Bernese Mountain Dog Club of America (BMDCA) web
site. On that site is a page that has some good information about how to go
about looking for a breeder as well
It's me again. Is Janet Grandstaff out there? Or does anyone know her?
She's the breeder of the new baby Orbo I talked about yesterday. The new
owner says she's just great. Also, if anyone sees Julie Steinheimer and
Babs anytime soon, tell them her boys are doing just great and

Yes I know how hard it is to become a breeder. I know that my first

In addition to wondering how many people keep in touch with their dog's

owners informed about the puppies throughout their lives.

Lisa,
You bring up some great points especially having proper accomodations for a visiting

It is no secret that the Bernese Mountain Dog is not the world's healthiest
