Harley

90lbs. – 22″ tall

Meet Harley, a playful and strong boned Bernese Mountain dog, proudly bred and raised at SwissRidge Kennels. She is out of Isla and Odin (please go to their individual pages to find out more about these amazing and well-bred lines).
There were 6 female pups in this litter and we kept all 6 for our breeding program. I’m happy to announce that all 6 siblings passed their clearance which shows very strong and healthy genetics in both their vertical and horizontal pedigree’s!
You can check out all of Harley’s siblings to find out more about the lines (Delilah, Storm, Betty, Navy, Olive).
Here is a little more about Harley’s personality:
Harley lived with a foster family for the first year of her life before coming back to the kennel as a breeding dog. When she retires, she will go back to that family to live out the rest of her retirement life. At the kennel Harley is a bold, affectionate, and active girl. She can have a bit of a stubborn streak and it’s very easy to know when she wants to do something and when she doesn’t. She is very affectionate and loves every person she meets. She is very curious and bold when exploring her surroundings. She loves all the other dogs, loves to play in the yard and loves exploring the forest for off leash pack walks!
This is what the family had to says about Harley during the time they had her in their home!
“Harley is a very happy, friendly dog. Her tail never stops wagging. She absolutely LOVES people. My husband calls her “the cuddler”. She always wants to have some part of her body touching one of us. She comes leaping up and gives a good hip check when she is getting ready to settle. When she greats us she wants to jump up for a hug.
Harley has her quirks. She loves her squeaky toys but instead of chewing them to get them to squeak she pokes them with her nose like a woodpecker which we find hilarious.
Harley is not fussy and has been a joy to raise. She settles right in on the days she goes to the office with my husband and can usually be found sleeping under his desk until he moves at which time she thinks it’s play time. She doesn’t love the heat but will endure it if we are out in the yard and she can be near us. You can tell that she would rather be inside laying on top of the air conditioning vent in the summer. But this just shows how much of a loyal dog she is and how much she adores people. All in all, Harley is a wonderful dog and we are looking forward to her rejoining our family when she is retired from the SwissRidge program”
