BERNER UNIVERSITY meets once a year at the BMDCA National Specialty. We opened our doors to students at the 2005 Specialty in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania and again in 2006 in Frankenmuth, Michigan, in 2007 in Louisville, Kentucky and in Warwick Rhode Island in 2008.  On April 27, 2009, we will once again open for three days Portland Oregon. Requirements for admission & matriculation include a keen desire to learn more about all aspects of our wonderful breed. Berner University gives owners the chance to go back to school and major in Berners. Through this site you can enjoy some of the resources that continue to make Berner University essential education for all friends of Bernese Mountain Dogs.
