Our Beginnings

In 2013, Aaron and Carol Bauman and their daughter, Gabriella, began Bauman Berners on their small farm in Smithville, OH. A family with a lot of experience with farm animals (large and small), an interest in owning and raising Bernes Mountain Dogs was sparked as they researched the breed. After careful consideration, they decided to welcome one into their family. After getting their first Berner, Alaska, in February of 2013 the whole family fell in love with the personality and beauty of the breed. Alaska stole their hearts, and they knew they wanted to share the love they had experienced with other families! They began pursuing breeding in the fall of 2014, once Alaska was old enough to have her first litter. Over the years, the Baumans have welcomed other dogs into their family and seen the Bauman Berners “family” grow as they match puppies with their forever families. Bauman Berner puppies have found homes across the US, even up into Alaska!
