ABOUT THE CLUB

 

PVBMDC membership is made up of BERNER LOVERS from all walks of life: breeders, pet owners, dog-show aficionados, obedience trainers, agility competitors, tracking and draft dog owners. While we may differ in our enthusiasm for the many ways to enjoy owning and living with these BEAUTIFUL CREATURES, we share a dedication to protect and preserve the integrity of the breed.

Our constitution states, in part, that our objectives are as follows:

Most of our members reside in Maryland, D.C., Virginia and Pennsylvania. Our meetings and activities are generally in the greater metropolitan area of Washington, D.C.

In February of each year we hold an Independent Specialty Dog Show which attracts an entry of close to 200 Bernese Mountain Dogs. We also conduct an annual draft test, enabling Berners to demonstrate their carting abilities and obtain drafting titles.

The Board strives to balance the annual activities calendar with something that appeals to all members' interests: tailgate parties at dog shows, fun days at members' homes, and educational presentations to benefit the welfare of our dogs. Our meetings are open to all.  See the calendar for upcoming events.
