2024 BMDCA ALPENHORN SENIOR GALLERY
ARUNDEL'S WHISTLING IN THE WIND
Owner: Carol & James Propis
Wrigley is 10.5 years and has been a TDI certified therapy dog at Roswell Park Cancer hospital and at Hospice of Rochester for 9.5 years. When she's not working, she is our beloved family pet. She is sweet, affectionate, and well-behaved. Our sincere gratitude to our friend and breeder, Sue Brightman.
HICKORY'S DEVASTATINGLY DEVINE
I had high hopes when singleton Diva was born. Unfortunately, it became clear at a young age that was not meant to be. I might have been a bit devastated but I soon recognized that Diva was destined for something more important than the show ring and motherhood.
Diva became the perfect companion for my dear elderly friend Anna and Diva's Berner Auntie Stormy. I know Diva kept Anna going and her spirits high for a lot longer than she would have without her, especially after losing Stormy at the age of 12.25. Anna often spoke of the several Berners she shared upwards of 40 years of her life with, but she always said Diva was the most dear.
Stilwell Secret Skyline V Bull Valley
Skyler is classic berner-great work ethic, loving to kids and all animals, good guard of the farm, and eternally happy! forever my heart dog-from my first ever litter. Loved by so many in our little town. Hope she lives forever.
Brandywine’s Gentle Spirit
Callie was a shy, terrified little 9 month old when she came into my life. With reassurance, patience and love she came out of her shell and turned out to be the most sweetest, loving, happy girl I could have ever asked for. She has earned quite a few AKC titles over the years with her new found confidence. We have had many adventures together. I hope to have many, many more with my sweet, silly, sassy, special girl.

Nora has been everything and more than we could have ever wanted in a dog!

She just earned an Award of Merit at the BMDCR Regional Specialty at 10.5 years old!

Hoosier Roos Bode's Well For Glory NAP NFP TKN
Owner: Jeannie Whitton-Smith
Bode Jr. is a larger than life mushpot who loves nothing more than a good head massage and to lean and love on everyone he meets. Bode has no idea how large he is or how old he is. His favorite thing is to attend the Annual Pumpkin Show Parade and somehow manages to hitch a ride on a float now that he's a senior.
Katleys girls night out v Rosemark

COBURG HILLS THUNDER AND LIGHTNING
Owner: Deborah Behr / George Utermohle
Thor is our first rescue Bernese Mountain Dog and is 10 years old. Thor joined our family over 5 years ago. Thor has always been confident and adventurous. On the Alaska trails, Thor has been confused with a bear even though Thor wears a bright green harness with his name on it. Thor loves people, especially those who take time to give him attention. We love Thor.
GCh Ch Coburg Hills Let It Burn v. Esmera
Flame is a clever boy who lives life as he wants to, sliding off the couch in the morning as if he'd never been up there at all (even though he's allowed!). He continues to bring us joy with his playful antics, truly a puppy at heart. We are so lucky to have him in our lives.
