The Bernese Mountain Dog Club of Nashoba Valley (BMDCNV) was founded in 1981 and is recognized as a regional club by the Bernese Mountain Dog Club of America and the American Kennel Club. The club was established to serve the needs of all Bernese Mountain Dogs and club members. Currently there are more than 600 members in the New England states and beyond. Learn more about the Club's history.

Club Activities. All Club activities are open to members and friends of Bernese Mountain Dogs. Annually there are winter walks, picnics or hikes held in each one of the New England states. Each Spring the BMDCNV holds its Regional Specialty Show in conjunction with Ladies All Breed Dog Show. Each Fall the Club hosts a Draft Test for the Bernese Mountain Dog Club of America. Then there are two very special events: the Spring and Fall Fun Days, with Canine Good Citizen testing, raffles, lots of Berner goodies to buy, breed and obedience matches, carting demonstrations and games! Check out our current events.

Our annual meeting is held in March, April or May. Awards are presented to title holders followed by an educational presentation. Generally there are one or two more activities during the year. A number of other activities privately sponsored by individual members are listed in our newsletter.
