Hey there! I’m Kirsten Esh, I’m the oldest of five siblings in a family of seven… We’re a small hobby breeder only raising about a litter per year and my family and I love raising healthy happy puppies and preparing them for their forever homes… Our dogs enjoy our ten acres of land, set against the beautiful backdrop of the North Carolina foothills. This space allows them to run and play in nature's beauty… Each puppy is raised in a family environment, surrounded by love and interaction, particularly with children... They enjoy playful interactions, ensuring they are well-socialized and accustomed to a lively home atmosphere… For years my parents raised the purebred Portuguese Water Dogs and so I grew up surrounded by puppies and received education on proper care and raising puppies.… And I was very intrigued when I found out about the new designer breed the Bernese Water Dog, so I decided to try it and we have been very happy with the results… This designer breed of the Portuguese Water Dog and the Bernese Mountain Dog combines the best traits of both parents breeds, resulting in a loving and intelligent companion…
