Storm is a lovable and happy Bernese Mountain Dog, proudly bred and raised at SwissRidge. 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 six female pups in this litter and we kept all six for our breeding program. I am happy to announce that all six siblings passed their clearances, which shows very strong and healthy genetics in both their vertical and horizontal pedigrees. You can check out all of Storm’s siblings to learn more about the lines (Delilah, Olive, Betty, Harley, and Navy).

Storm spent the first year of her life living with a foster family. This is what they had to say about her personality:

“Storm is one of the happiest and most loving dogs I have ever had in my life. She is never without a wagging tail and always wants to be in contact with someone, whether leaning against them, lying on their feet, or simply sprawling right on top of them. Storm seems to believe she is a lap puppy and will happily perch on your lap if you let her. Give her a kiss on the nose and she will kiss you back. Stand close and she will get up on her hind legs to reach up for a hug.

Storm is a big, strong girl. You can feel the muscle in her legs and body. When she runs around our half acre yard, she goes back and forth endlessly. She also loves her walks through the trails at the York Region Forest, and she always seems to find herself a stick. Once she has burned off her energy or had a nice long trail walk, she looks for a cuddle, flopping down beside you for a leg rub or rolling over for a belly scratch. Car rides are her ultimate favourite, often joining me for school drop offs and pick ups or late night trips to get the teens from work.

Storm gets along well with other animals and respects the house hierarchy regardless of size. In her foster home she formed a close friendship with Abby, a NSR Golden Mountain Doodle. She also seemed to understand that Milo, the 13 year old Shorkie (Shih Tzu Yorkie), was old and not interested in playing with anyone.

Storm loves people and shows the same affection to everyone she meets. She is extremely patient and tolerant. You can squeeze her paws, tug her tail, or pull at her lips, and she happily soaks up the attention. This gentle demeanor makes her fantastic with kids. In our home, there are several teenagers and one 10 year old boy. He would give her full body hugs, lie on her, even take toys right out of her mouth, and she let it all happen with nothing but love.

Storm is very smart and will do just about anything for a mini peanut butter dog cookie. She is very food motivated and enjoys her meals and treats, devouring them in a flash. It took her no time at all to learn basic commands. Storm does have a stubborn side, but when treats are involved, she is quick to comply.

Storm’s appearance is striking and her coloring is beautiful. I am certain she will have some gorgeous pups at SwissRidge. We are so grateful for the opportunity to have had Storm as part of our family.”
