The following dogs have been retired from our breeding and
show program. Please feel free to contact us by e-mail or by
phone.
AM. CH. Kadoo's Gannon v
Santera
|
AM.
CH. Kadoo’s Gannon v Santera - Gannon,
came from Kathy Donohew and her Swiss import Benno and CH.
Dallybeck’s K Swiss. I had seen the first breeding
of Gannon’s parents and thought that a puppy from the
second breeding might be beneficial to our girls. Gannon
did give us two of our best when bred to Santera Tob Melody
Noel (Sequoia ex Harmony daughter) and Santera
Changing Tempo (AM. CH. Deli Standing Ovation daughter
ex Harmony). The girls from those litters that we have here
that have done well for us are CH.
Santera Punkianna v Crest who finished at 15 months
and CH. Santera Lucka
v Crest who finished at 18 months (finished in 6 weeks).
Both girls are OFA certified hips/elbows and CERFed as was
Gannon. Gannon was a standard size boy who was very sound
with a great temperament. After finishing him and using
him on our girls, we had few females left to breed him to.
Visitors who came to our kennel who had just lost a dog
very much like him wanted him as their house dog so we let
him go when he was a little over four years of age. He is
still doing fine as an only dog in his own home.

AM. CH. Santera Kobi v Crest
|
AM.
CH. Santera Kobi v Crest - Kobi, is one of
Remi's offspring out of Bounder. He has an outstanding temperament.
Before he was two he was shown very sparingly, but did accumulate
several major reserves and several points. Shortly after
his second birthday we started showing him more frequently.
He picked up 4 majors within a 6 weeks period and finished
his championship in style. Kobi is GDC good hips/elbows,
CERFed, and vWD clear. His brother, Santera's Millennium
Bordeaux, and his sister Santera Evening Masquerade, are
also both pointed. |

Santera Charo v Crest |
Santera
Charo v Crest - Charo is
one of our Cherub’s
sons out of our Phoenix
daughter, Jolie. He has
a lovely head with a nice dark eye and excellent markings.
He is an easy going boy and easy to be around. We did
not take him to his first show till he was 28 months old
as we were just too busy with some of the other boys.
At his first weekend out he ended up with a 5 point major
reserve. He has OFA Good hips, elbows are 0/1, eyes are
CERFed, and he is genetically clear of vWD. He and Tavi,
half brothers, have much in common in type. |

Santera Diva's Fired Up |
Santera Diva’s Fired Up who is another
granddaughter of both Remi and Punky has only been bred once
but we are very pleased with her pups also. Diva has both her
majors but due to her chewing wood she has lost front teeth
and can no longer be shown. Diva goes back to our oldest
section of our pedigree. She is a Phoenix daughter and her dam is a sister to Santos who is a granddaughter of our Ariel. Ariel was the first
Berner we linebred. She was linebred to our AM.
CH. Santera Rio Grando v Crest and his sister Fiery.
Diva is just beginning her show career. She was a year old
in Feb. 2003. She has a good preliminary rating on her hips/elbows
and is genetically clear of vWD. We hope to have a lot of
fun with her. She is one of our favorites. |

Santera Pipit v Crest
|
Santera
Pipit v Crest - Pipit is a true
daughter of her mother, Punky and her sire, Bounder.
She loves life and is quite a happy girl. She carries a
lovely coat and has a lot of body even though she is not
a big female. She has a GDC Excellent on her hips with clear
elbows. She is CERFed and vWD genetically clear. |

Santera Element of Surprise |
Santera
Element of Surprise - Meadow is out of one of Flare’s (Santera Flamin’ Flare
- a sister to AM. CH. Santera
Santos v Crest) last litters. She is a half sister to Diva who is also out of Flare
(who will be 10yrs. old on 12/06). She was shown when she
was young for a short time and does have a few points. She
is OFA good/elbows clear, CERFed, and vWD genetically clear.
She has an excellent temperament and is an exceptionally
beautiful mover. If I had time to do more training with
her, she would be an excellent candidate for agility and
obedience. |

Santera Kyrie’s
Prelude |
Santera
Kyrie’s Prelude - Kyrie has given us some very lovely pups. She is one of our taller
females with a great personality. She is one of our Phoenix daughters that has continued to produce some typey and sound
babies for us. She is the dam of Tavi and Yoni. Yoni was born in June of 2005 so we are having
fun watching him grow up. |

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.

great angles front and rear and a lovely personality. She
is OFA Good with clear elbows, eyes have been CERFed, and

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 Oh Mercy Me |
Santera
Oh Mercy Me - Mercy’s was one of 18 pups born in one litter, all naturally. Seventeen
of the pups were raised from Mercy’s dam, Santera
Evening Masquerade, with the help of her owner, Sherry Von
Engel. We named Mercy the way we did because this is the
comment we thought Mercy’s mom might have said if
she could have talked after looking at allllll of those
puppies.
Mercy is a sweet tempered dog. She is a smaller girl only
weighing about 75 pounds. She has a lovely head and great
markings. Her coat is full and she has nice angles front
and rear. She has a OFA good on her hips and a 1/1 on her
elbows. She has been registered with CERF and is genetically
clear of vWD. |

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. |
