This page is now in memory of the sweetest pup we ever knew. If you have a large (broad-chested) dog please read up on twisted stomach. We lost Rosie in July 06 to this sudden and unexpected happening. We miss her terribly.

If you have not already met Baeri, let me take the time here to introduce you!

Baeri was born in Canada and made the trip to us in January of 08. He was all of 8 weeks old and had the most docile and playful temperament imaginable. We were not certain we would ever get over Rosie but this pup has earned his place in our hearts and even a dog bed in our living room. He loves to visit with everyone coming through the inn and would probably say, if he could talk, that he never met a stranger. At not quite 3yrs old he still has a lot of play in him. Bernese Mountain dogs are one of the indigenous breeds found in Switzerland. They were used to herd cows and sheep and with their thick coats, were well adapted to the cold winters found there. They have amazing personalities to boot and are "leaners".  they will sit and then lean into you resting on your legs. 

He moved into his kennel as a happy go lucky puppy and just as quickly, moved into our hearts. We will all tell you that we are just nuts about this dog. We think he is just the smartest fella out there not to mention beautiful.

"What a spectacular getaway. Beautiful gardens, marvelous food and Baeri.. What a gem!"
