Coburg Hills Bernese Mountain Dogs

Spring 2010

Envy (Coburg Hills Shooting Star) has final OFA's back with hips good and clear elbows.

Fergie (Coburghill Big Girls Don't Cry) has been bred to Ferrari Porsh Orsina's Land with puppies due May 7th.

Winter 2009

We attended the Portland shows this year with young dogs. It was a good experience for every one and on Thursday Angela and Rosie took Reserve out of the 12-18 month old class and Fergie won her Bred By class on Saturday. We will be taking a short break from shows while we have puppies.

We have the final clearances in for Fergie and Celine. Both are clear for von Willebrand's. So they both have their hip, elbow, eye, heart, thyroid, and vWd clearances done. They will be receiving their CHIC numbers from OFA soon.

Fall 2009

Fergie and Celine received their final OFA results and we are very pleased with the results. Celine has excellent hips and clear elbows. Fergie has good hips and clear elbows. Paperwork is posted to their pages. Both girls will be bred the end of December/beginning of January.

Fergie won two more points towards her championship (bringing her to 10) at Roseburg and Hummer won his first point.

Fergie travelled to the regional specialty in California and in a large, competitive class of 16 girls, took 3rd place. We are very proud of both Fergie and her handler, JoAnna Matthisen.

Fergie won two days at the Eugene cluster for four more points towards her championship.

Summer 2009

Fergie (Coburghill Big Girls Don't Cry) won her first major on Saturday of the Working Dog Show in Redmond, WA for 4 points. She also won Best Bred By Exhibitor.

Angela and Harley (Adesa's Up For A Ride) won 4th place out of a large Open Senior Junior Showmanship class at the Enumclaw show. They have just started showing in Juniors together and they make a great team.

Coburg Hills Dream Catcher (Hope) winning Best of Winners at the Bandon Shows on Saturday and Sunday for 2 points. This was only her second weekend of showing. Hope is a littermate to Celine and Fergie.

Spring 2009

We had a successful week at the National Specialty. Our wins included Nora (Coburg Hills Once Upon a Dream) winning 2nd place in Futurity for 6-9 month puppy and 3rd place in Sweepstakes; Fergie (Coburghills Big Girls Don't Cry) winning 1st place in Am/Owner Handler; and Hummer (Coburg Hills Driven to Excess) winning 1st place in Futurity for 6-9 month puppy, 2nd place in Sweepstakes, and 2nd place in 6-9 Puppy Class. For Nora and Fergie this was their very first show!

 

Celine (Coburg Hills Forget Me Not) won Bred By Exhibitor both days in Albany and Reserve Winners Bitch one day.

Hummer (Coburg Hills Driven To Excess) won his 6-9 month puppy class both days and Reserve Winners Dog one day.

Our National Specialty will be held in Portland the end of April. We have a few dogs we will be showing. More information about the Specialty can be found here.

Winter 2008

Celine (Coburg Hills Forget Me Not) took her first major on Friday at the Puyallup dog shows. She has a total of 8 points now at 16 months of age.

Fall 2008

Summer (Sendache's Red Hot Success) took Winner's Bitch and Best of Opposite on Thursday of the Eugene shows to finish her championship. Angela was very excited to finish her since she put the first points on Summer when she was quite young. Lucky for us, with Summer finished, Celine went on to win Winner's Bitch on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at the shows. Now Celine is going to take a break while I work with some one else.

Summer 2008

Summer (Sendache's Red Hot Success) has made us very proud this summer. She won Winner's Bitch and Best of Opposite both Saturday and Sunday at the Sammamish shows. She now needs just 1 point to finish her championship. So we hope to finish her at the Eugene shows. Summer's half sister (Celine) took Reserve Winner's Bitch on Sunday.

At the Portland shows Summer took Reserve Winner's Bitch on Saturday and Winner's Bitch on Sunday (her half sister Celine took Reserve Winner's Bitch). Then Summer went on a road trip to Alaska with her breeder (JoAnna Matthisen) and came home with two 4-pt majors.

We ventured over to the Redmond shows in search of Diva's last point needed to finish her championship. Unfortunately, it didn't happen on Saturday when a puppy out of her last litter (Celine - Coburg Hills Forget Me Not) beat 7 bitches to win her first 2 points. We are very excited about watching Celine grow and mature. She is very much like her mother!

On Sunday though, it was Diva's day and she won Winner's Bitch. Now she can do what she enjoys best - hang out on the couch.

Our trips this summer have been to dog shows and one day at the coast. We have still been busy moving and setting things up. The dogs got a huge new play yard though and they love it.

 

Spring 2008

Diva took Best of Winner's Sunday at the Moses Lake show. Unfortunately, we were one dog short of getting the 2 points we needed to finish her. So we are now in search of our 1 point.

Moses Lake was beautiful and we had a great time enjoying the sunshine.

Winter 2007

Diva (Adesa's Instant Success) took Winner's Bitch (another major - giving her 3) at the Albany show under breeder judge Gail Vogel. Diva now has 13 points with only 2 points to go for her championship.

 

Angela took Best of Winners and Best of Opposite with Summer (Sendache's Red Hot Success) at the Albany show under breeder judge Karen Erickson for her first points. She continued on to take several reserves (some to majors) at her following shows. We look forward to seeing her develop further and continuing her show career.

Harley (Adesa's Up For A Ride) took Best of Winners and Winner's Dog on Friday and Sunday at the Puyallup shows and Friday at the Portland show to finish his Championship. All wins were four point majors. For more information look at Harley's page.
