Miss Meadow is our independent, goofy, and stubborn Baby Berner! Meadow can always be found on her resident-spot on the end of our bed or laying in her favorite pile of dirt in the yard. Nothing makes Meadow happier than frolicking through the trails and running up and down mountainsides. The steeper the climb the better! Meadow is notorious for giving the "Berner Boop" and requiring our attention always. She keeps us laughing with her tude' and constant requests for more treats! Meadow is a phenomenal mom and takes great care of her babies!

Sage is Jimmy's dog through and through (He had to have a least one to himself!). Sage is so full of life and energy; we really didn't have to think hard before settling on Lil' Spunky Sage. Sage's other favorite person in the world is her Grandpa--those two are always into trouble together. It's hard to keep Sage out of the water and even harder to take her favorite fetching tire toy away. Sage has the fiercest cuddles, the warmest hugs, and the biggest affection for sticks!

Fern, or Fernie as she goes by in our house, has been our biggest and softest addition to the pack! She is strikingly gorgeous and she receives attention (and treats!) wherever she goes. Fern's favorite activity is swimming nonstop, protecting small children, taking the longest to eat her treats, and giving endless kisses. She's up next for earning her Canine Good Citizen Title!

Daisy is the matriarch to our pack! She is a protector and never strays far from our sides. Daisy's favorites things in the world are swimming in any and every body of water, carrying around her tennis ball, going for walks, cuddling on the couch, and eating apples and carrots on her lick mat. Daisy is the absolute best at teaching our other dogs and new puppies the ropes of being a good citizen and has made puppy training a breeze!
