Who are we? and how it all began..

Welcome to our blog, we are a small family living in Dumfriesshire, Scotland.
Having been keeping in touch with various Bernese lovers on blogspot I (H) decided it was time that Cadbury had his own page, so that others can keep up with his progress. Maverick has now been added to the page as our family increases...

You may find it strange that I follow many bernese pages and yet have a chocolate labrador but we would also dearly love a bernese eventually.... so how did it all begin....

Cadbury was born to Holly Dog on 14th June 2010 down in Grantham - yes a very looong way away. He was named blaze (Swinsteads blazing boy), for the lovely white stripe down his chest. After speaking to Holly's mum and dad we knew we had to go and see the litter, so we packed up for a weekend away and travelled down...


After much discussion, we decided to open our home to Blaze, a lovely gentle boy... Blaze was renamed Cadbury.

Maverick was born to Bramble on 26th September 2013, 10 mins down the road. We have been involved right from the very first moment, with H visiting the pups after just 3 days. By a couple of weeks old H & S were giving them cuddles which has made the process of choosing just one even harder...

At 4.5 weeks old a decision was made and Maverick (1980's chocolate bar) (NicholForest Top Gun) came home at the end of November (at 8 weeks). He has grown fast, we have no idea where the time has gone.
