Q: Do I have to own a Bernese Mountain Dog (BMD) at this time to join the club?

A: No. Membership is open to anyone sincerely interested in the breed, including former BMD owners and people considering becoming BMD owners in the future.

Q: Do I have to compete with my dog in dog shows to join the club?

A: No. Many of our members do show their dogs in conformation, obedience, agility or draft work, but you may join even if your dog is just a family pet. The club can be a great source of information on health issues and other matters pertaining to the breed - information you can use even if you do not show your dog.
