AM. CH. Santera Original
Kahill
|
AM. CH. Santera
Original Kahill - Kahill was shown a few times when he was 16 months old and picked up a few points. Then he lost his puppy coat and we put him away for a year. When we brought him out at 2.5 years, we found that he did not like to show in the hot summer. We thought we would wait for fall, but by that time he was out of coat. We found we were limited to showing him in the springtime. We picked up all of his points except for one major showing in very few shows each year. We often traveled to the Nationals in the springtime which often took place during our local shows so there were no shows for him. Finally, in July 2007, I decided I was just going to retire him lacking one major. In the fall of 2008, with Kahill being 6 years and 9 months, I looked at him in the backyard and said to myself that he really looked good. It was fall and he had coat and it was cooler. I entered him in 2 shows and on the final day he went Winners Dog for a 4 point major. Needless to say that made our day!
Kahill has 3 champion sons from one litter. In that litter there were 5 dogs x-rayed and all passed their hips and elbows. In another litter from which Kayla came from, three were x-rayed and passed hips and elbows. One of those is working well in obedience with titles, another has a Canadian Championship and is pointed now in the states, and the third, Kayla, was slow to mature but in her second outing went BEST ADULT in at the Potomac Valley Bernese Mt. Dog Club sanctioned match in the fall of 2008. I also bred him to Tia and got Turina who has hips/elbows that are good and normal. He seems to be strong in throwing good orthopedics. He has been tested normal for vWD by VET Gen and has had his eyes CERFed.

Santera Mikaluck v Crest |
Santera
Mikaluck v Crest - Mika is a lovely young female who has the size her dam, Lucka,
lacked. She is a sweet as her parents and loves to go
to the shows so she can jump into everyone's lap. Mika
won Best Puppy at the Potomac Valley Bernese Specialty
Match at 7 months and went on to take Best Berner in Match.
She was shown on a limited basis from the 6-9 mo. puppy
class and ended up with a number of class wins over competition
and a Reserve to a major. She will be out and about more
as she grows up but we are very pleased with this sweet
young girl.

Santera Arctic Tearose
|
Santera
Arctic Tearose - Tia, our little rose from
AM. CH. Arctic Rose av Milkcreek, was taken from the Sunshine
Kennel as a stud puppy. Rose is special to us as she stopped
here on her way to CA from Norway when she was a puppy of
12 weeks.
Her sire is our Santera Special
Contender, better known to us as Tenny. We went to California
to pick Tia up and brought her home in a Sherpa bag. She
was a perfect angel the entire trip. She was so quiet the
entire trip that no one knew we had her with us. It was
a long trip from CA to MD but she did great.
Tia looks much like her sire but has a little more of her
mother’s attitude. She loves people and enjoys life.
She is OFA good hips/normal elbows and has had her eyes
CERFed and is genetically clear of vWD.
In her first litter Tia proved to be a fantastic mom. She
took great care of her litter. It will be fun to watch them
grow up.
She is proud of her brother, Ch. Sunshines Arctic Star (Hunter)
who finished his championship before his second brother.
Her dam also went Best Brood Bitch at the 2006 BMDCA National
Specialty out of a class of 15. We are all very proud of
both Rose and Hunter. |

Santera Tavia’s Cadenza
|
Santera Tavia’s Cadenza - Addy, born in 7/07, is a lovely young female with great attitude, structure and movement. She is a good representation of both her parents, Tavi and Tia. Addy has proved that she is a special little girl shown to the right judges. She took 2nd out of 12 in her first show in sweeps under breeder Sharon Groves. She went to the National and even though she was not totally trained went 4th out of 15 in Futurity under breeder/handler Jennie West. At 10 months we put her in handling classes so we could get ready to show her again. She is a super girl in a small package with a lot of attitude. |

Santera Northen Turina, better know to us as Turina, is a very lovely young girl who was born in Dec. 2005. She has OFA good hips/normal elbows and is genetically clear of vWD and has her eyes CERFed..We have not shown Turina as she has white socks and runners up the inside of her front legs but she is a very pretty girl with beautiful movement, nice coat, and a very nice head.
