BERNESE MOUNTAIN DOG

• Objectives of the kennel.

  • First of all I do not consider a commercial breeder like so. I consider an enthusiastic one and enamored with the race. Thanks to God and to people whom day helps me to day to take care of of my herd - my Priscila friend Young by example, I have been able to get to have the wonderful herd of Cowherds who nowadays I have and who go in constant increase.

  • My objective is not to sell puppies. My objective is to try to familiarly raise a type of Cowherds of Bern that personally gets passionate to me. That is to say, strong, longevos, robust, very compact, of good bone, good undulations, great head, long hair, free cowherds of displasia, character juguetón and candy without getting to be “heavy”. Insurances, good movement… In short, that is my commitment towards the race.  I started to breed with bernese´s in 2007 May, in my first liter I got 3 champions. Carli Larena-Avellaneda, Bruno Larena-Avellaneda and Jara Larena-Avellaneda. In this moment my FCI afijo was Larena-Avellaneda. Right now my FCI afijo is Maciel

  • Humbly it would want to try to improve the race in the measurement of my possibilities litter to litter, puppy to puppy… I know that he is very complicated since many we thus defined the perfect dog - that does not exist, but I believe that while more makes an effort to me and we responsibly make an effort all filedignamente to maintain the standard of the race and less we move away of him, greater enchantment will have our boyeritos over the years. I hope and I trust the responsibility of all those people who venture themselves and make crossings without no type of criterion and with the unique objective remove a dinerito. I hope that those people always try to improve the race. Since he would be disastrous that weakened the race. Lately they begin to have many timid dogs that nothing stops define the race… Nothing else, simply she wanted to animate all those that are undecided to enjoy these exceptional dogs, small loving bears really.
