Elaine’s experience

  • About Elaine

    I am the past president and 36 year long member of the Bernese Mt. Dog Club Of Southeastern WI. I am one of the 4 Founders and past president of the Bernese Mt. Dog Club of Northeastern Illinois, and a 35-year long member of Bernese Mountain Dog Club of America. I also have served as chair for many specialty health and education projects and national specialty raffle chair. I love being involved in the dog world!

  • What makes Elaine’s program special

    I am fortunate that many of my dogs are in the pedigrees of Best in Show dogs, National Specialty winners, and agility performance dogs, in addition to many of my dogs living 10 years or more. I am known for always working for longevity and improved health. I am always there for my puppy people through good times and sad times.

Price

Puppy prices range from $2,700 and include a non-refundable deposit of $500.

“All of our puppies are one price. A deposit is only taken after the buyer meets the litter and we decide that our puppy would be a good fit for the buyer.”

Contract and health guarantee

Elaine may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If Elaine offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don’t hesitate to reach out to Elaine directly.
