The Bernese Mountain Dog Club of Greater Seattle is a non-profit club designed for serious breed fanciers, companion owners and for those that are just interested in supporting the breed. The club was founded in May of 1980 and is recognized as a regional club by the Bernese Mountain Dog Club of America. The club was established to serve the needs of all Bernese Mountain Dogs and club members. Most of our club functions and events take place in the Greater Seattle area, but our members extend all up & down the western side of the cascades and as far North as British Columbia and as far south as the Greater Portland, Oregon area.
