Santa’s Kissed Under the Mistletoe
Owner: Kristi Davis
Sprig is from our first litter of 6. He is such a fun boy. He didn’t spend much time in the show ring but has been a great couch potato. He still goes for short walks when we take the trash out. He greets the neighbors dog and the is ready for a nap. He has been a great uncle to all the puppies they always enjoy curling up by his thick coat for a nap. We cherish every day we have with Sprig

Devon's Lady Love WBK CGC Therapy Dog
Owner: Jeannie Botelho
Elsie is a retired pet therapy dog, though she still loves children and people and will go into her pet therapy mode when she is approached (so long as they don't have food in their hands!!). She continues to march on to her own beat in typical stubborn Berner fashion. She has us well trained. She loves her walks to our local coffee shop, but she needs a ride home as it is just too far to go both ways. One of us walks her there, the other picks her up. Clearly Elsie knows how to order a taxi. To our utter amazement, she still strides on, even though she has several well managed senior health issues, these do not hold her back. She is young in spirit and loud in attitude, so we appreciate each day we have with her.

Hickory's Nixie Knox
Owner: Stephen and Rebecca Laird
At 11 years old, Heidi is still full of spunk. She recently made her show debut at the BMD Club of the Rockies Regional Specialty. Despite never having been at a dog show in her life, she showed like a seasoned show dog and she practically brought the house with cheers, which she thoroughly enjoyed. She was the oldest at the show, yet we were told she moved as well as the young dogs. Heidi is always up for a play in the yard with one of her toys, a game of tug or a local hike. In the summer, her favorite past-time is to sneak off for a wade in the ditch to get really smelly. Heidi rules our land with (mostly) quiet reserve, greeting her local friends that go by and alerting us when the UPS truck arrives. She is in the process of training her new Berner brother Bruno to all that life at our little homestead entails, save the ditch diving!
