About Dagny Joy
Dagny is a female tri-color mini-Bern-a-Doddle born on the 14th of September, 2022 in the back room of an old farmhouse somewhere in Virginia. She is a cross breed between a Bernese Mountain dog and a mini-poodle (I will let you figure that one out for yourself). As a tiny pup she showed great aptitude for puzzles, wrestling, and cuddling, in addition to back talk, and adventure seeking. She has grown into a lovely young dog with several accomplishments under her furry belt that include being a full fledged service dog and therapy animal to nursing home residents. She wins the hearts of everyone she meets. Dagny has also traveled coast to coast proving herself to be an excellent flyer and rider. She is a true life and travel companion that shows unconditional love and plenty of sass. She earned her middle name by bringing so much joy into my life during a very dark time. Thank goodness for dogs and the love they bring into the world!
