Duc 120 lbs. – 28″ tall

Duc is one of the most regal, spectacular, and handsome Bernese mountain dogs I have ever met. He is owned by my mom, and is the result of her very long search for a perfect sire.

My mother and I are very similar in our determination – we don’t stop until we get what we want. She finally found the perfect Bernese in France, and asked me to go and check him out. I was happy to do so and booked my flight immediately. I was blown away by the quality of the dogs at this kennel. My mom’s research had paid off. Duc is a stunning dog, and he has a phenomenal health-tested lineage.

I wish Duc were mine, but at least I’m fortunate to have access to him for my bernedoodle breeding program. I also receive first choice of any of his Bernese offspring from any of the litters he produces! I’m very blessed to have access to such amazing dogs with this kind of pedigree.

Social and playful, Duc is a massive beast who doesn’t know his own strength. This dog would have been quite adept at pulling carts in the Swiss mountains. Luckily, he is also gentle, caring, and loving. He adores people. He loves my mom and I, but also has a very special attraction to Lucas. I love that I can trust Duc with anyone. He’s great with kids, the elderly, and any small animal he encounters. All he cares about is being loved. And, of course, his food – this one’s a chowhound.

Duc comes from a stacked pedigree of champions and healthy, hip-tested parents. He has passed all his clearances. His ancestors over five generations back have been hip- and elbow-tested and cleared with exceptional scores. He’s an amazing asset to both our programs.
