ALEXA MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP
On February 20, 2025, we lost our beloved Alexa due to complications from her spay. She was my shadow, my comic relief, and my loyal best friend. Her sudden passing shattered our hearts — mine, my family’s, our nursery team’s, and the CWB community’s.
The outpouring of love and support that followed was both humbling and healing. Through that grief, I discovered the beauty of shared compassion — a reminder that while grief unites us, love bonds us.
To carry on Alexa’s legacy and give back to the community that held us so closely, we’re proud to announce the Alexa Memorial Scholarship.
$5 from every purchase from the new Mellie & Mac Co. online store will go directly to her scholarship fund. Each year, scholarships will be awarded in her honor to deserving members of our community.
Full details on how to apply will be shared soon. Thank you for helping us keep Alexa’s love and light alive.
You will always be my favorite hello and hardest goodbye.
We are the Tritz family. Our first Berner, Tillie, is the most loving dog we have ever known.
We’re Travis and Jessica Tritz. We live in Vesper WI on a 60 acre cranberry marsh with our 6 young children and growing dog family!
We fell in love with the Bernese Mountain Dog (BMD) breed after having a heartbreaking experience with our first family dog. When our son was bit by our malamute, we vowed to never again bring a dog into our family that we thought might hurt someone.
After years of healing and countless hours of research, we knew we'd found the right breed for our family: the Bernese Mountain Dog. Our first Berner, Tillie, makes anyone who meets her fall in love with the breed.
We knew we wanted to add a Standard Poodle to our family after we learned how intelligent, playful, and sweet they are. Our first Poodle, Willow got us completely hooked on the breed! These breeds compliment each other very nicely!
Since deciding to expand our small program, we have had the joy of adding additional Berners to our family and love each as much as the last. It’s amazing how similar they all can be, which only reinforces our love for these incredible breeds. Although our house has more dog hair in it than ever, we couldn’t be happier because our hearts (and laps!!) are full!
As we continue our passion of breeding purebred BMD’s, we are also thoroughly enjoying breeding the perfect cross of these two breeds: the Bernedoodle. We have found bernedoodles to be the BEST combination of all the wonderful traits in both our Berneses and our Poodles. Their hypoallergenic nature, slightly smaller and more agile frame is a delightful "middle ground" and makes a truly incredible family pet.
Litter News
We have had an incredible first half of the year and the last of our Summer litters have all been adopted. As we look ahead into the remaining months of 2025 and into early 2026, we will have a variety of bernedoodle crosses as well as purebred BMD's. To ensure we can help everyone on our master waitlist, including new families that get on the list early, we will be having full size, medium, mini and MICRO MINI bernedoodles!!
​
Our first Fall litter is here from Kensi. She and Blu welcomed 6 beautiful Ultra Bernedoodles. More information regarding her current litter and all of our upcoming litters is available on our Adoption Page. Be sure you review that page often so you can stay in the look with litters that have been bred, are confirmed, and as new dogs as they come into heat. We will be planning to have as many litters we can for Fall/Winter Go-Homes due to the increased demand of our waitlist! Since we have so many fun pairs coming, we still anticipate having opportunities for new families who join the wait list now. ​​

WHAT SETS US APART FROM THE REST?
We breed a variety of bernedoodle crosses as well as purebred BMD's and have lots choose from in the upcoming months! We utilize our master waitlist to determine breeding combinations, and love being able to produce so many incredible breeds. If you are looking for an amazing family dog to add to your family, the pairs we are expecting will be truly incredible options! ​Let me help guide you to the one that makes the most sense for your situation and based on your specific needs.

Our Program Community, puppy curriculum and enrichment activities are unparalleled in the market. At CWB our focus is creating confident pups with a head start on training and socialization. In addition to that, families LOVE the connections they form in our CWB family and the breeder support they receive. We also now offer EVERYONE extended-stay training options! We started our Transitional Training Program in 2023, and the success of this program is truly remarkable. We now find that almost 90% of our families choose this incredible head start at training, because they see its incredible value! Our training philosophies in conjunction with the imprinting and foundational training we implement with each litter in their first 8 weeks in the nursery prepares each puppy AND THEIR FAMILIES for a smoother transition home.
In 2024, we took our training one step farther with our Reset & Revamp Camp. Watching pups excel while here in R&R has been incredible! This training program is designed to either take off from where the Transitional Training Program ends OR is designed for ANY of our CWB PUPS ages 2-9 months that are struggling with NORMAL puppy behaviors! We love working with pups at this age and helping families navigate COMMON issues and struggles with adding a puppy into their life. Not only do these pups come out calmer and with countless new skills, this training opportunity gives families a break from the exhaustion we all feel from life with a new puppy! Be sure to review the new content on our Training Page, including highlight videos and great testimonials from our families. ​
​
New in 2025 has been our Transitional Training Program PLUS!! TTP PLUS is already a phenomenal addition to our training opportunities and since its implementation, has been incredibly successful! We love offering more options to our families and seeing that dedication to excellence pay off at graduation. The most effective way to highlight our programs is to direct you to countless videos of past pups while they were here for training. You can view direct links on the Training Page of the website as well as using the search features listed in our social media pages. Don't forget to check out our Sunday Highlight reels on Facebook and Instagram as well, as these contain COUNTLESS snippets of past pups in training!
