Agile Berner Carving By Gale Werth

For those who are unfamiliar with the name “Gale Werth”, her “Broken Oaks Kennels” has had a tremendous impact on our breed. Her dogs figure prominently in a number of lines that are familiar to all of us today. One of her bitches went on to be the foundation bitch for the Dalleybecks line. Gail studied woodcarving with some master woodcarvers from Germany. When the BMDCA was asked to provide a piece, representative of the breed, to theAKC Dog Museum, they selected one of Gale Werth’s incomparable carvings. Her carvings are simple woodcarvings of various poses, yet they have been described as the most anatomically correct Berner art that you will ever see.
