My name is Karrie Thompson, my husband Cliff and I live in Randle, Washington. We're located just 2 hours southeast of Seattle and 2 hours northeast of Portland, Oregon; making it a lovely drive to the countryside. We own seven acres that we get to enjoy every day with our 6 Bernese. Our dogs are our family and they love to go hiking, swimming, and even go to work with us! We aim for our dogs to live life to the fullest with us in the beautiful Big Bottom Valley.

I fell in love with this breed around 18 years ago. From the moment I saw one, I knew one day I would have my very own berner. It took seven long years, but finally my dream came true and I bought my very first Bernese, Summit. Since owning Summit we have welcomed eleven Berners into our lives, hearts and home. There is nothing quite like a Bernese. They're simply the best dogs!

We made the decision to breed these beautiful dogs in 2012, but after many setbacks we didn't get our first litter until 2020. Penna gave us 3 beautiful litters and a deeper love for the breed. During the last few years, we have spent countless hours researching breeders and pedigrees from Europe. Our goal is to import the best examples of the breed that we could find and breed from those lines. We have been so lucky to have imported from many countries including; Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, and Ukraine. Our priority is to breed Bernese mountain dogs with good health, temperament and longevity.

We preform all BMDCA recommended health testing on our dogs, plus some extra. We test for OFA Hips, OFA elbows, OFA Shoulders, OFA Patellas, OFA Heart, OFA eyes, Degenerative Myelopathy SOD1-A and SOD1-B, and Von Willebrand's disease. By doing all recommended health testing on our dogs we hope to better the breed and produce healthy puppies!​​​
