Welcome on this website. My name is Kim Groves and I am a breeder of Bernese Mountain Dogs under the prefix Avatar. I run a very small breeding program in the Northumberland hills that focuses on the betterment of the breed. This breeding program is well thought through and it is my intention to create the perfect bernese mountain dog. My main focus is on health and orthopedics without loosing the beauty and type that make this breed what it is.

My passion is conformation. During the years I have handled and bred some of North America's top dogs. My breeding program has produced several multi best in show and best in specialty show winning Bernese Mountain Dogs. Most of them can be found on this website. I truely hope you will enjoy your visit to the Avatar site. If you have any questions or suggestions, please don't hesitate to contact me.
