Meet your breeder:

Ashlee was shaped by the land long before she ever entered the world of breeding. Raised on a working horse and cattle ranch, she developed a deep reverence for animals, a tireless work ethic, and an instinctive understanding of what it means to care for a living creature with intention and integrity.

Since 2019, Ashlee has channeled that lifelong foundation into her breeding program — approaching every litter with the same dedication and passion that defined her upbringing. As a single mother, she brings a personal warmth and steadfast commitment to everything she does, ensuring that each puppy is raised in an environment rich with love, attention, and purpose.

Now entering the show world with guidance from experienced mentors, Ashlee is expanding her focus beyond compassionate rearing to include excellence in the ring. She has big goals and carefully considered plans for her breeding program: to produce sound, temperamentally exemplary Berners that uphold the highest standards of health and conformation, and to contribute meaningfully to the breed’s future through responsible, well-documented breeding practices.

For Ashlee, this is not simply a pursuit — it is a calling. Every decision made at AshenHof Berners reflects her unwavering standard of excellence and her profound respect for the breed.

All dogs undergo vigorous health testing, including full DNA Health Panels and OFA certifications, ensuring each puppy is bred from parents with clear, documented genetic and orthopedic health.
