Bernese Mountain Dogs - Stud Dogs

We x-ray all our dogs hips/elbows at a year and again at two years. The males we use in our breeding program have had their eyes CERFed and are also genetically clear of vWD (a blood clotting disorder).

We generally do not offer our dogs at stud until we have proven them and found out what traits they might be producing. For the most part our studs are for our own use but we do sometimes let others use them if they have the same clearances as the males and are of sound temperament and structure.

We now also have two younger boys who have been bred to females so will be anxious to see what they produce - Santera Myboy Tavi and his half-brother, Santera Concho v Crest. Both these boys are sons of our AM. CH. Always An Angel.

Yadigar av Milkcreek has been used with our Santera Kyrie’s Prelude and produced some interesting puppies but he does have one grade one elbow. He was normal at one year. He is only available at limited stud to others.

We do use outside males for breeding at times who have the health clearances that are important to us. We also have bought a number of males that have a pedigree and health background that we feel will add to our girls when bred. We do a lot of research before we do a breeding hoping we can continue with the health and type of each dog bred.
