Meet the Notchland Animals... the ones we feed and the ones we don't!
Our Bernese Mountain Dogs
We received our first Bernese Mountain Dog in 1993 as a gift from our friends in New York soon after we purchased the Notchland Inn.They all agreed an inn dog would suit us and our location and after lots of research chose a Berner as the most suitable. Four Berners later, it is clear, we agree!
Their friendly, gentle nature makes them very comfortable in this social situation meeting each and every guest that arrives at Notchland. They thrive on the attention they get from many hands and the room they have to romp and play.
Coco, the original puppy, was with us for ten years. Our 2nd female, Abby, arrived in March of 1999 when Coco was about 6 years old. Abby grew to be much taller than Coco. At just a year old (pictured right) Abby was so tall Coco could walk under her belly. The wag of one tale was a welcoming site to our  guests, but two greeters was double the pleasure!
We now have two. Crawford (pictured right) was next to arrive. You should see him today. He is the biggest love of them all so far! Crawford's buddy is Felonie (we'll explain about her name when you get here) who is a couple of years older than he is but smaller. She loves to bark at arriving guests but is really a cuddler.
Other Wandering Visitors...
Our location in the White Mountain National Forest close to several water sources and our extensive gardens makes the Notchland a very desirable stop for wildlife.
