Barefoot Farm Bernese Mountain Dogs

Our Bernese are family & farm-raised on 50 beautiful acres in Southeast Ohio. Our goal is to provide you with a companion that has unrivaled beauty, outstanding temperament, personality, health, & longevity. Our dams and sire are AKC registered and we have carefully selected each one. Countless hours are devoted to the breed and raising our puppies to optimize your experience with Bernese Mountain Dogs. We have invested in thorough research in the areas of: testing, diet, health, and socialization so you can be confident that your new companion is everything you wished for. We take care of our Bernese with a fine combination of holistic, yet common sense approach. Our furry friends receive their immunizations and are dewormed on a regular basis. Through the summer months they receive NexGard and any necessary medication, but we strive to minimize their exposure to chemicals. Most of the parents to our sire and dams have been OFA tested and cleared. Our issues with these type of tests is that it doesn’t guarantee that their offspring will not be affected. We have tested through Embark and they were cleared and would not be affected of over 206 genetic diseases. . I can say our Bernese are healthy, have no joint issues or diseases. Our babies are socialized and handled daily to provide you a well-adjusted and confident puppy. They are wooled and loved on by both little and big humans so they are ready for family life. The day they are born they are handled, and as they progress in age a multitude of stimuli are introduced including sights, sounds, temperature, and smell. We work on grooming, sensory substrates, limited separation from litter mates, rain training, and stairs. It is important that you continue socialization between 8-12 weeks since this is the Fear Imprint Period. Expose them to as many unique situations as possible to allow them to continue to grow into confident companions. Please do not hesitate to message us if you have any questions.
