Mission
The Berner-Garde Foundation was established in 1995 to assist in efforts to improve the health of Bernese Mountain Dogs. The foundation focuses on enabling scientific research, breeding decisions, and treatment options to help increase the lifespan of Bernese Mountain Dogs. The current life expectancy of a Bernese Mountain Dog is approximately 8 years, primarily due to cancers and other diseases that affect the breed. The goal is to improve life expectancy to 12-14 years.
