Wilderness Way Ranch

About Wilderness Way Ranch

Lauren and Wayne Sill are from South Central Kansas and breed Bernese Mountain Dogs for healthy, quality companions, pets, therapy dogs, and, selectively, potential show and breeding candidates. We are very proud to have bred Ch Sweet Summer, CGC, TNK, and her owner's success in achieving Summer's AKC Championship in 2022. Puppies are born in our house and early socialization begins with use of ENS (Early Neurological Stimulation). Puppies are gently socialized to people and other animals on our farm in order to start them towards becoming well-rounded companions. Our primary concern is to breed healthy puppies that will bring much joy and love to the lives of their families for many years. To achieve this goal, we do our best to select breeding dogs for sound hips, good health histories, longevity, and markings and conformation that are as close to breed standard as possible. We do genetic testing for Degenerative Myelopathy (SOD1A and SOD1B) and VonWillebrand's Disease, OFA Cardiac and Eye certifications, OFA elbows, and use the PennHip exam for all of our dogs' hip evaluations. We realize that there are no absolute guarantees in life for us or our pets, but we believe in what we are doing enough that we stand behind our pups with a one year guarantee against congenital defects. We don't ship our puppies but we do allow them to fly home with their new families and we will do our best to work with our puppies new families to meet transportation needs.
