Bernegarden's Reve Enka - Foxy is here!!

10/4/2011

We are pleased to announce that Foxy (Bernegarden's Reve Enka) arrived safely in the UK in February 2011. She has settled in very quickly and is adored by all. She has attended a handful of small shows where she has gained two Best Puppy in Breed's and two Reserve Best of Breed's. Also, at a Limited Show in March, she was shortlisted in Best in Show and then won Reserve Best Puppy in Show!!

Foxy makes her Championship show debut on April 16th at Working & Pastoral Breeds Association of Wales, and although there are no CC's on offer at that show, we are really looking forward to getting her to a big show at last!!

18/12/2010

We would like to announce that BERNEGARDEN'S REVE ENKA, a Norwegian Buhund called Foxy, will be arriving from Norway in February 2011 (all being well!).

Foxy is owned and bred by Britt Marit Halvorsen of the world famous Berngarden Saint Bernards, and will come to live with Camille (on breeding terms) for the foreseeable future.

We are very excited to have Foxy as part of the Sturtmoor kennels, and Camille is particularly looking forward to getting back to the Buhund ring on a more permanent basis. We wish all the best to Foxy's siblings, wherever in the world they may be!

Our latest Champion!!

4/9/2010

Today, at the City of Birmingham Championship show Ice (Arnscroft Kiss and Tell Di for Sturtmoor won her 3rd CC (Challenge Certificate). This makes her a UK Champion (subject to confirmation). Ice is just under 18 months old, so this is no easy feat for any dog, let alone a young one!

I am also pleased to say that Ice was also short-listed in the group, this is her 2nd Best of Breed at aChampionship shows and her 2nd Group Short-list!

Ice is co-owned by Millie with Di Stirling and Sue Cale. Millie handled Ice for a time gaining her first CC at just 8 months old, then her second at 14 months with Best of Breed (and a group Shorlist!!). For her 3rd today, unfortunately, we were not present at the show and neither was Sue (she was on holiday), so could not share in the celebrations with Di. Chris Cross did a wonderful job of handling Ice, and we were thrilled to hear that she also won the first CC with her Dobermann (Nearctic Madam Pomfrey JW Sh.CM). Way to go Bree!! :0)

Congratulations to Sue - with owning her first UK Champion, and for handling her so well! Ice's brother (Arnscroft Kimura Kato) owned by Di Stirling and Kathering Lindstrom, also won the Dog CC today, but was beaten by his sister for Best of Breed.

WELL DONE TO ALL!

Home needed for older puppy

25/7/2010

Update: 3 August 2010

Today Dante left for his new forever home where he will be living with 4 children (Estrela heaven!). We wish Emma and the rest of the family all the best with their new baby - he is a treasure, and we will all miss him dreadfully. We hope he can come and visit often!

DANTE

Dante is looking for a new home. He was born on 15 April 2010 and is out of Quin's sister (Sturtmoor Leading Lady owned by David and Val Watkin-Jones) and Jaydee (Joao da Varanda dos Pastores at Sturtmoor).

Dante is a very sweet, laid back puppy who just enjoys life, but he needs a family of his own. Dante has a slight mouth fault, which makes no difference to his well being, so the price will be reduced.

If you would like any further information, please contact us.
