About Us

My name is Daniel Scheffer and together with my mother Betsy Nieling - In de Braek and her husband Robert In de Braek we're breeders of Bernese Mountain Dogs under the prefix Bernice Love. I was born into the fantastic world of breed and show as they founded the kennel.

Together we live in a small village named Birgden in Germany near the border to the Netherlands and Belgium with a lot of trees and fields.

During the years we have bred several champions and consistent winners. We also have bred Companion Dog titled dogs that work as certificate therapy dogs.

Our goal at Bernice Love is to breed top quality Bernese Mountain Dogs that have soild temperaments and healthy long futures.

On occasion we may have show / pet puppies available. Puppies from our kennel live in Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, England, Switzerland, Austria, Spain, Slovakia, Russia, Lithuania, Kazakhstan, Denmark, Canada, the United States, Mexico, Brazil, Japan, Australia and give their good characteristics to their offspring.

My passion is conformation. I'm a professional handler since several years. During the years I have handled many dogs in Europe. Besides showing our own dogs I also show dogs that are owned by others. I got the opportunity to handle one of Europe's top Bernese Mountain Dog to its championships and to its Best in Show and Best in Speciality Show titles. The Bernese Mountain Dog is of course the breed that you will see me showing the most but I also have shown dogs of other breeds.

If you want to have more information about us and our dogs or handling your dog(s) or
if you have any question, don't hesitate to contact us by telephone or by E-Mail.
