Membership Information

Membership is open to all people with interest in the Bernese Mountain Dog. You do not have to own a dog to be a member. Prospective members must sign a Code of Conduct statement that outlines their responsibility to their dogs, other members of the Club, and to the Bernese Mountain Dog community as a whole. Prospective members must attend two BMDCGS events, be sponsored by two members in good standing, and have their membership application voted on by the club.

Annual fees are $20 for individuals, $30 for couples/families, $15 for newsletter only, and $15 for juniors. A portion of these dues goes to support local breed rescue projects; the remainder of the dues are directly used for club business and event expenses.

Members receive a bi-monthly newsletter containing information of interest to Berner owners and giving details of club business. Members are encouraged to promote responsible dog ownership in their communities. Non-member subscriptions to the newsletter are available for $15 per year.

For more information or to receive a membership application or subscription form please contact the Membership Coordinator, Terri Zimmerman.
