A MUST HAVE for any serious berner breeder!!! The Bernese Mountain Dog Yesterday and Today by Silvana Vogel Tedeschi English Text by Lindy Kunz This new book gives English-speaking readers the first opportunity to have access to important facts about the breed which have only been available in other languages. The interesting history of the breed is described in great detail. With words and informative illustrations, it is shown how the Standard is to be interpreted, and how the individual traits should be considered in the show ring and in breeding. Particular attention is paid to the distinctive features of the temperament and behavior of these former farm dogs, showing how their history has molded their character and behavior. The inclusion as an appendix, of the first complete translation of Professor Albert Heim´s text, “Die Schweizer Sennenhunde” published in 1914, makes this book particularly valuable. It will be the standard work on Bernese Mountain Dogs for many years to come. For further details http://bernese.biz/bernerbook.htm http://bernese.biz/bernerbook.htmshapeimage_3_link_0

I was fortunate enough to be one of the lucky ones who started out with a wonderful breeder and mentor. Ruth taught me a lot about the breed as well as the type of breeder I wanted to be.

I thank Ruth for taking the time with me, having patience to deal with me and for believing in me enough to entrust me with these amazing dogs.

Since then, I have gone on to obtain several more dogs,work with many wonderful breeders, achieve many more titles as well as learn more lessons than I ever dreamed possible. I have bred several litters and produced many champions, both in the conformation ring as well as the working rings. The biggest lesson I have learned is...... I will never know it all!

    I place great importance on health, longevity and soundness in the dogs that I produce. Along with that I strive for a dog that possess all the type I desire as well as protecting the over all integrity of this beautiful breed.

    I am the founding member of a rescue for Bernese mountain dogs and am an avid supporter of rescue.

   

LionHeart Bernese Mountain Dogs was established in 1993 after we acquired our first berner, CH Pioneers Liberty, from Ruth Reynolds. I was so amazed by the depth of character in these dogs that it wasn’t long before I went looking for berner number two, and our first champion, CH Pioneers Off To Oz v Kruggerand.


These two were quite the pair and the more time I spent with them while achieving their championships and with other berners, the more head over heels I became.
