In our house we love dogs. My wife tries to proclaim she likes cats better, but I am not sure I believe her. We are or at least I am a dog person through and through. We have been fortunate to bring so many different dogs into our home over the years. Some dogs came to us as puppies and lived with us until old age. Other dogs came to us later… Read More
We didn’t have Sammy for long at all. But he packed a lot of love into that short time. Sammy loved us so much. He did manage to put together some adventures during our short time. Sammy even got to go camping. We explored the woods at Letchworth State Park together. Photo details: Nikon 1 J4. 1 Nikon VR 10-30mm f/3.5-5.6. Focal length 10mm. ISO 400. 1/200 sec. f/3.5. Thank you for… Read More
Little Kira was fun and adventurous for an older dog when she came to live with us. We had such a good time with her. This photo is from one of our adventures. Through our bond with our Bernese Mountain Dogs we have had the opportunity to meet people and go to some fun events. This photo is from the International Bernese Mountain Dog Walk we attended. We stopped to enjoy the… Read More
Kira was such a big beautiful fluffy dog. She was such a lovey-dovey kind of dog. Just wanted to snuggle and be petted. Kira came into our lives via our local shelter. My wife was working there. I was volunteering there photographing the dogs and cats. We each separately thought to ourselves I love this dog. Before too long we she found her way to our home. This photo is from a… Read More
Josie was one of our sweet Bernese Mountain Dog tribe that we have gathered in our home over the years. We were fortunate enough to adopt Josie from a rescue out in Ohio. Josie was such a sweet and shy girl. She loved to spend time with us. Unfortunately we did not get to spend as much time with her as we would have liked, as is too often the case. One… Read More
The Greater Swiss Mountain Dog. I love these huge tri color dogs. They share the same coloration as my beloved Bernese Mountain Dogs. The Greater Swiss Mountain Dog has short hair in contrast to the Bernese Mountain Dog’s long fur. Both breeds are about the same height. But the Greater Swiss Mountain Dog generally carries more weight on their frame. They are pretty thick powerful looking dogs. The Greater Swiss Mountain Dog… Read More
The Entlebucher Mountain Dog is one of several swiss mountain dog breeds. These dogs are so adorable. I am not sure if I like the Entlebucher Mountain Dog because of the similarities to my favorite breed the Bernese Mountain Dog. Both breeds of dogs have similar colors and markings in their fur. However the Entlebucher Mountain Dog has short fur. The Entlebucher Mountain Dog is very similar in proportion the the Bernese… Read More
Bernese Mountain Dogs are our favorite breed of dogs. We have shared our home with 7 different Bernese Mountain Dogs. We probably spend more time watching the Bernese Mountain Dogs at the dog show than any other breed. It has been really fun being around the Bernese Mountain Dogs during dog shows. It lead to us making friends with other Bernese Mountain Dog lovers. We were even introduced to and joined our… Read More

We recently did something that from the outside probably seemed rather rash to most people. We woke up one day with no immediate plans to get a puppy and the next day we had added a new puppy to our family. While it was sudden and unexpected it was not exactly unplanned. It was less rash from inside our little bubble than it may seem for anyone seeing our updates on social… Read More
