Philippa, Mervyn, Chloe & Toddler Abbie Green welcome you to their web site, built and designed by Philippa.

Pasturegreen Bernese Mountain Dogs are bred in a home family environment and are bred for temperament and type. They are family pets first and foremost but enjoy showing nationwide at championship and open shows as well as enjoying all Bernese Mountain Dog club events along with carting, agility and obedience.

We thrive for all our dogs to achieve their Kennel Club Good Citizen awards in Bronze, Silver and Gold and to achieve an Excellance in their Bernese Character assessment. Along with a good grounding of knowledge and hopefully skill at carting, obedience and agility. This we feel gives all our dogs enough training to be able to cope with any situation they may encounter during their lives.

We are one of the only Kennel Club Accredited Breeders of Bernese that rear our puppies with young children and take considerable time researching a potential litter's pedigree before we choose a stud dog, in the hope that we breed good quality sound puppies with the view of keeping the pick of the litter to show and perhaps later breed from. We breed for temperament first and foremost and then to type. We do not just put any old Bernese with another to make a fast buck with our puppies being lavishly reared to very high standards. In turn we are always there for our puppy owners and give a full after sales package of care and support. When you have a Pasturegreen puppy you become part of our extended family.

All our dogs live in our family home and enjoy our family holidays. Where the dogs aren't welcome we don't go and spend most of our holidays on the North Yorkshire Moors enjoying the lovely walks and playing on the beach at Runswick Bay.

Our dogs are well socialised from birth or from the time they arrive at our home at 8 weeks and we work hard to ensure that we can take our dogs everywhere and anywhere so that they get used to as many different situations as possible in the early formative months. Many heads have turned over the years as the Green family have boarded steam trains, boats or have entered pubs for Sunday lunch with as many as seven Bernese mountain dogs in tow.

As much as we thoroughly enjoy showing our Bernese, we also very much enjoy carting and working the dogs as they were bred to do. Our Sophie's tail never wagged more than when she was hitched up to our four wheel traditional Swiss wooden cart. The carting world of the Bernese is totally different from the show world and in someway's more friendly and certainly less facey. So it's very nice to be part of both.

There is nothing more wonderful than owning a Bernese Mountain Dog, they have to be the most beautiful of all the dogs in the world, but they are not suited to everyone or everyone's living/working situations. Big, strong powerful dogs with fabulous colourings and markings they are a head turner wherever you might go. As many have said Bernese can be quite addictive and one is never enough!
