Sennenridge Bernese

It seems like only last year that Maja made her journey to us from Germany via Switzerland. She was a puppy that epitomized it’s meant to be. I was looking for an addition at the time and knew I wanted to name her Maya. When we had knowledge that the breeders we acquired our other Bernese from (Siara) had a female available, and had named her Maja (pronounced MA-ya), we considered the stars aligned. When we asked what her personality was and they stated, a girl with plenty... of spunk, little did we know the energy this girl would bring into our lives. Maja has some very quirky and endearing traits. Like thumping throughout the house like a Gorilla and mimicking their grunts. If she could thump her chest, she would but instead utilizes her tail to thump anything within close proximity. Aside from her robust presence she’s super loving and cuddly. And all Maja has ever wanted from her family is direction on how to be a good dog and be told she is just that. I can only recall one instance of bad behaviour and outside of that she’s been perfection. Throughout the past 8 years Maja has not only brought us joy but also 24 families who enjoy her 29 offspring. Five of those courageous enough to enjoy double the spunk that she's passed on to her pups. Included in those 24 families was us as well as we decided to keep her daughter from her second litter. Cinder is Maja 2.0 She's takes her mothers need to cuddle, attention and verbal expression to the next level. Today's a special day....it's Maja's 8th Birthday Maja we want to wish you the happiest of Birthdays...there's a special treat awaiting you later We love you to the moon and back sweetheart

One would think by now Smucker Foods would have cashed in on the Berner’s with their Jif PB, just saying. Let’s see your Berner PB pics #Smuckers #Jif #PB #PeanutButter

Book your Bernese in for a grooming during the month of September and receive a complimentary Berner Butter. Our Berner Butter is made of all natural ingredient...s including Calendula and Vitamin E. It nourishes and heals dry cracked skin and because its non-toxic is pup friendly. Start your winter skin care regime now and prevent the effects of harsh elements. Dont need a grooming but would like the Berner Butter balm, its available for purchase at Stonehaven Kennels at a cost of $15 for the 60gram stick. Door step pickup is also available in Okotoks and SW Calgary. Groooming is done on location at Stonehaven Kennels. There are still several openings weekdays and weekends in September. Contact me directly to book. About our grooming: I handle each dog myself from bath to finish. Your dog is never left confined in a kennel unattended to dry. I hand bath, hand dry, do deshedding if required, clean ears, thin rear pants, trim ears, trim rear legs, trim and shape paws as well as clip nails. You will basically get the standard Show Groom package. If theres something you dont want done let me know at time of drop off. I use a professional line of shampoos and conditioners that are made specific for the Berner coat type. Your pups will be soft and luxurious with their black glistening and their whites glowing not to mention theyll smell heavenly clean. I can accommodate those that need extra care because of age or joint issues. I also do puppies ensuring its a fun and positive experience for them.

Love these FB memories baby Vida

Birthday pups with their Mom Daughter Cinder, Mother Maja, Son Chester

Happy 4th Birthday to our precious Cinder, daughter to Maja. Cinder/Fade to Black V Sennenridge Sire: Branco Vom Zurihorn Dam: Ch Maja Vom Colmberg Waldchen... I didnt think it was possible to have a Berner that was more affectionate than Maja but the apple doesnt fall far from the tree and Cinder has proven us wrong. The girl who will lay on top of you and cuddle even at 30 deg c. Our chatty Berner who was vocal right from the day she was born. Never a bad dog and always the first to greet me every single morning. She nudges, pushes and corners you to get those extra personal hugs and scratches in, just like her father Branco Love you to the moon and back precious

C Litter - Happy 6th Birthday!!! Nine gorgeous pups born this day six years ago. Kara, Tessli, Odin, Maggie, Olive, Molly, Gemmi, Ruger and Raevyn... Sire: CH Keytano Vom Stieracker RN Dam: GCH Ira-Siare Vom Colmberg Waldchen DOB: May 14, 2014 HAPPY 6TH BIRTHDAY TO ALL

Don't we always say how fast time goes. Well this totally snuck up on me and took me by surprise. 6 years.....6 YEARS!! Wholly shit. I've been saying for the past 2 years she's 4 years old so where did the time go. Key-Siare Raevyn V Sennenridge aka "Raevyn", aka "Squirt" Sire: CH Keytano Vom Stieracker RN... Dam: GCH Ira-Siare Vom Colmberg Waldchen Born: May 14, 2014 I can't imagine our home without this girl. Life is an adventure and she amps it up making it more interesting by bringing joy, laughter and sometimes frustration along with her loving personality. Our sweet little Raevyn who can be such a cuddle bug and giver of affection also has a vindictive side. Don't piss her off or you will be on edge for days, even weeks, wondering when she will pounce and what her target of revenge will be. From destroying toss cushions, books, gift certificates to even just assisting with shredding paper and sometimes all for just raising a voice or not taking her for a walk in the rain. Raevyn is also the Best Mom and truly born to be a Mom. She wants nothing but to have puppies and to raise and nurture them for nine weeks and beyond. Any reunion with one of her pups always starts out with Mom laying down the rules and reminding her pups there must be manners and no anarchy. Her retirement will be a sad day and one we are not looking forward to. Happy 6th Birthday Squirt!!!!!! Thank you always for the cuddles and the love. Hope we've reciprocated equally or more. Love you to the moon and back. Here's to the wonderful six years you've given us and the many more to come

Happy 7th Birthday to our "B" Litter Born May 4, 2013 Sire: Keytano vom Stieracker Dam: GCH Ira-Siare vom Colmberg Waldchen ... Charley, Otto, Ginny, Bruno, Murphy, Teeka, Sophie, Maggie and Zara. For some of you I hope you are spoiled today a little more than usual. For the others I'm sure you are with your mother and the angels are singing a joyous chorus of Happy Birthday.

Today was a day of celebration. Our first Bernese, Shyla, turned 12 years old. Yes...12 YEARS OLD!!! Her and her breeders Brigitte Chardonnens and Jack Chardonnens from Bearcreek Berners are the reason Sennenridge even exists. Their passion for breeding and the joy Shyla brought into our home started our path to breeding ourselves. Our day started with a trip to Starbucks for a coffee and a Puppucino. Then we drove around with all the windows down and the wind blowing in our ...faces. Next was a walk in the park where we munched on some grass and had endless sniffs. Then dinner with favorites of bbq burgers, Caesar salad and garlic toast. Top that off with Birthday Cake and I would say it was a good day. An evening walk will round off the day of celebration. Shyla....we are blessed. We know how blessed we are to have the joy you brought into our home for 12 years. We cherish everyday now that you are with us. One day I will miss your spunk and the endless mule kicks during the night. You are our pack leader that puts up with no shit. Without you we would have no order. Happy Birthday Princess! Hope you felt our love today and please allow us to show you that for many many more months to come

This gem will be 12years old in four days.....Shyla V Bearcreek

I finally lost my puppy coat. Now my mom is ugly crying. Rijker

I just cant believe this boy is one year old already. Anything worth having is worth the wait and that was certainly the case with Rijker. What a joy this boy is! He is calmness, goofiness and swagger. He is endless joy, laughs and comfort. He is everything we patiently waited for and more. Happy 1st Birthday Rijker!!! Aiden Sergina V.T Rijkenspark ...
