Our Dogs

Bernese Mountain Dogs are known for their affectionate nature, intelligence, and unwavering loyalty. At Southpaw, we take pride in raising dogs that are not only beautiful and well-structured but also loving and steady in temperament.

Each of our dogs is raised as part of our home, never kenneled outside, and surrounded by daily life. They grow up in an environment where they receive constant socialization, companionship, and the kind of care that fosters confidence and a strong bond with people.

While every Southpaw dog has its own unique personality, one thing remains constant—they all bring warmth, companionship, and that signature Berner charm into our lives.

Life with a Berner

Owning a Bernese Mountain Dog is a unique and deeply rewarding experience. These dogs are more than just companions—they are devoted family members, happiest when they are by your side.

Berners thrive on human connection. They are known for their gentle nature, eagerness to please, and an uncanny ability to sense emotions, making them wonderful therapy dogs, adventure partners, and loyal protectors. However, they are also a working breed, meaning they need structure, engagement, and a purpose to truly flourish.

We understand what it means to share life with a Berner because we live it every day. Whether you’re looking for a dog to join you on hikes, be a steady presence in your home, or simply rest their head on your lap after a long day, a Bernese Mountain Dog will fill your life with joy, devotion, and companionship.
