Why Bernese Mountain Dogs?

 

The first time I saw a Bernese Mountain Dog, I was just 11 years old. I was outside my school, waiting for my mom to pick me up, when I glanced to the side of the street and saw something that instantly caught my attention, a boy, probably 14 or 15, holding the most beautiful dog I had ever seen. I had never seen a dog like that before.

Curious and excited, I walked up to him and asked, "What kind of dog is that?" He smiled and said, "It's a Bernese Mountain Dog." From that moment on, I was in love. The striking tri-color coat, the soulful eyes, the big paws—it was everything I could ever want in a dog. That day, I made a promise to myself: One day, I will have a Bernese Mountain Dog.

From Passion to Purpose

Fast forward to today, and that childhood fascination has turned into something even bigger, a true passion and deep appreciation for this amazing breed. When I decided to create Bernese Treasures, I knew I didn’t just want to sell products; I wanted to build a community for Bernese lovers like me and make a difference for the breed.

Giving Back to the Bernese Community

As many Bernese Mountain Dog owners know, the breed faces a heartbreaking health challenge, Histiocytosis, an aggressive cancer that affects too many of these loving dogs. Research is crucial to increasing their lifespan and working toward a future where this genetic issue no longer affects them.

That’s why 10% of all profits from Bernese Treasures will be donated to organizations dedicated to Bernese Mountain Dog health and research:

🐾 Canine Health Foundation – Supporting groundbreaking research to fight Histiocytosis and improve canine health.

🐾 The Berner-Garde Foundation – Preserving genetic data and health information to help breeders and researchers improve the breed’s future.

More Than Just a Shop

Bernese Treasures isn’t just a store, it’s a celebration of the love, joy, and companionship that Bernese Mountain Dogs bring into our lives. Every product is designed with that same passion I felt the first time I saw a Berner.

Whether you’re here for fun apparel, personalized items, or unique Bernese-themed accessories, you’re not just shopping, you’re supporting a cause.

Thank you for being a part of this journey. Together, we can cherish and protect the breed that means so much to us.

🐾 With love,
