AM. CH. Santera Chastity v Bevs

AM. CH. Santera Rio Grando v Crest

AM. CH. Santera Harmony v Crest

AM. CH. Mentmore’s Sequoia - Sequoia, was nine months old when we bought him from Diane Bussey on a co-ownership to bring him here to Santera. He was a tall dog with lots of bone, fantastic personality, and a beautiful head. We showed him at 10 months at his first show and got his first point. After that he grew more and ended up not fully maturing until he was four. When Sequoia was ready to finish, he did it quickly. He finished in about a 2 month period. He weighed about 117 pounds and was probably around 27 inches tall. He was bred to our Harmony, Tempi, and Ariel. Several of the Tempi and Harmony daughters have been good producers for us. We lost Sequoia right before his seventh birthday.

AM. CH. Santera Nadia’s Sonata - Nadia, was out of Sequoia and a sister to Tempi. We took her as a stud puppy and kept her here till she was almost two. She was always an female full of life and definitely knew what she wanted. Since we could not keep her as a house dog at all times, we gave her to our friends, Carol and Ken Lingley, on a CO-ownership. She has been bred three times. She was bred to AM. CH. Santera Blazin' Fire v Crest, AM. CH. Tallpine's Black Mail v Bev's, and to AM. CH. Santera Santos v Crest. Her litter out of AM. CH. Tallpine's Black Mail v Bev's produced 2 very nice females, AM. CH. Caroling In The Treetop and AM. CH. Santera Lyrical Sheena. Both Sheena and Lark finished their championships from Bred-By.

AM. CH. Santera Blazin’ Fire v Crest - Blazer, was born the same year as Remi. We lost Rio and his sister, Fiery, about the same time so we name Remi after Rio and Blazer after Fiery. Blazer was a nice sound boy with OFA good hips/elbows. He finished easily at 2 years of age by winning Breed over Specials. When he was a little over 3 years, he became sterile; therefore, we let him go to his own home where he makes his new mistress very happy. We still have his son, AM. CH. Santera Santos v Crest here and his daughter, Santera Flamin' Flare v Crest who is the dam of a young male, AM. CH. Santera Mathias v Crest, who finished at 16 months.

Santera Exclusive Premiere - Phoenix (10 points, both majors) was named for a purpose. He is the first offspring of both his parents (Bandee and Punky) and also the only one in the litter. Bandee is a younger brother to Remi (Sequoia ex Tempi) who is OFA certified hips/elbows and CERFed. He is a very sound boy with nice size but just never matured as we had hoped. Phoenix, his son, has a lot more body, bone, and head than his sire. Phoenix is GDC certified good hips/elbows, OFA good hips and eyes CERFed. He was shown at a number of shows when he was a year old, and picked up 10 points which included both majors. Phoenix has been bred to several of our girls - AM. CH. Santera Lyrical Sheena, Santera Flamin' Flare v Crest, and AM. CH. Santera Lucka v Crest. There are several offspring that we have kept here to show such as Diva, Jolie, and a little female out of Lucka.

AM. CH. Santera Lyrical Sheena

AM. CH. Santera Lyrical Sheena - Sheena, is a happy-go-lucky girl. She is her mother’s daughter. It takes me at least 2 shows to get her settle down to do what she needs to do. She just has too much fun the first few days. At her first show, the Potomace Valley Bernese Mountain Dog Club Specialty, she won Winners Bitch and Best of Winners for 5 pts. at eighteen months. She picked up 4 other points quite quickly before taking maternity leave in the winner of 2001. She finished in the spring of 2002 with 3 majors. She has GDC clear elbows and GDC excellent hips. She had her hips redone again at 2 yrs. and received an OFA Good. She has had her eyes checked and has been CERFed. We thank her co-breeder, Carol Lingley, for helping to show her to her last 6 points.

Sunshines Bountiful Harvest

AM. CH. Santera Santos v Crest - Santos, was so named because he was such a little saint as a puppy. He was the one who always had to be in my lap, the one that was a fuzz ball with all that bone, and the one I decided I had to keep. As a young puppy he went Best Puppy in Match at the Potomac Valley Bernese Mountain Dog Club Match. He was shown several times at 6 months in outdoor shows and ended up going Reserve and Best Puppy at one of the shows. He was so nice and I was so anxious to get him out that I made the mistake of taking him to an indoor show that was very very crowded, very noisy, and all very new to him. It took me a long time to get him over that bad experience. I finally decided that he was too nice not to finish so decided that he would do better if someone other than myself show him. Sindi Leo saw his potential and offered to take him. She did a great job with him. She took him to her home at the end of July and had him at his first show the first weekend in September. By the first weekend in December he had 12 points shown very sparingly and needed only one more major to finish. In January he cut his large front paw very badly and had to have stitches to repair it. He then came home so that we could care for him here. Another friend, Carol Lingley, finished him for us. Santos, as you can imagine, is quite a big teddy bear and thinks he is our special baby. He is OFA Good, GDC elbows, and CERFed. He was linebred to 2 females and 3 of the 4 that have been x-rayed so far have received GDC Excellent hips and clear elbows.

AM. CH. Santera Punkianna v Crest

AM. CH. Santera Lucka v Crest

AM. CH. Santera Lucka v Crest - Lucka, was a joy to show in conformation. She took a number of reserves as a puppy. We pulled her until she was 18 months old and then brought her out where she won three majors from Bred By and finished in 6 weeks. She is not a big girl but very much like her grandmother, Harmony. She has lovely bone, markings, movement, and personality. Her hips and elbows are good and she is CERFed. She has been bred to CH. De-Li's Look It Up, Sunshines Bountiful Harvest, CH. Wyemede's Kahuna v Alani, and to Santera Exclusive Premiere. She has not had many daughters but we hope to finally have one from her litter out of Santera Exclusive Premiere.

Memorial: We did keep a female, Mika, Santera Mikaluck v Crest, out of Lucka so we hope we can keep her sweet temperament here in our lines. We lost Lucka at 10 years 4 months. We will miss her happy attitude and loving temperament.

AM. CH. Santera I'm a Believer Still - Immy has a playful attitude at home like her dam and loves to play with all her toys. Immy is OFA Good, and GDC elbows, and CERFed. She finished her championship with 4 majors. She is one of the girls that definitely feels that she is MY dog.

Memorial: Immy - our sweet sweet girl who loved her toys just like her mom, Remi, died at 9 years 4 months.  She was buried with one of her favorite toys. May she play with them forever.
