Welcome to MahaRaja Bernese!
Our name, translated from Hindi, means "Great King" and is derived from our family heritage and eastern philosophy.

"The greatness of a nation and it's morale progress can be judged by the way it's animals are treated." Mahatma Gandhi


 

We are Located in the beautiful "Valley of the Sun" near Phoenix, Arizona and have been very fortunate with early success in our breeding program including producing the 2008 BMDCA National Best in Show Puppy
from our very first litter!

Along with Breeding and Showing BMD's, Carol Lynn is a professional dog trainer, focusing on training families to earn AKC companion event titles.

  As the current President of the Grand Canyon State Bernese Mountain dog Club and an active Member in the Northern Arizona and Bernese Mountain Dog Club of America, I am very active in the health and well being of the breed.  
I breed and raise only one litter at a time to ensure each puppy has the best start in life possible.  Each litter is carefully planned with regards to pedigree, health and temperament paying special attention to socialization and training from day one!
As exceptional BMD breeders, we personally participate in showing our dogs in Conformation, Draft, Rally, Obedience and Agility so they are both beautiful and challenged mentally and physically.

~We complete hip, elbow, heart, eye and von Willibrands health screenings for our dogs and will take advantage of additional tests when appropriate~

We can be heard saying our home is run for the comfort and convenience of the dogs.

 All though all our dogs are crate and kennel trained, we own and breed only the number of companions we can properly care for without requiring them to live or sleep in crates or kennels.  Each one of them is a member of our family and our daily activites revolve around their health and well being. You will NOT find a room full of cages or crates, our dogs sleep where they are comfortable, yes sometimes on the couch! As they grow and interact with each other they learn their place in the pack, with us as the leaders, respecting their order. They have plenty of room to exercise and enjoy our home, yard and pool. 

~It is a special treat for us and our dogs when visitors come to play.  So please feel free to contact us to meet our wonderful Berners~ 

You will fall in love just as we have!

Thanks for Visiting,

Carol Lynn Fox
