KARDIA

female

lux borealis FOR CORTIUM

Kardia (car-dee-ah) means “heart” in Greek, it’s also the root the word “cardio” (just in case you were curious).  As our very first Berner, and life long dream; as her name implies, she is in every way the love of our lives.

Temperament: In describing her demeanor words always fall short, but we are biased. Wicked smart, goofy, loyal, sweet with children, weary of strangers, yet, true to her breed, never aggressive. Her goofy demeanor never seizes to amaze us, but even more so her intelligence is exquisite. She has a whopping 2000+ hours of training and counting.  She is trained on cart drafting. She is one of those doggies that knows what you want before you even say anything 🙂

Her bloodline comes with a clean bill of health from OFA (orthopedic and cardiac) clearances, both parents have impressive looks, presence, and of course, intelligence. Her blood line includes impressive pedigree including Van’t Stokerybos, Kronblommas (two of the most prestigious breeding lines of Berners in the world) and the Meigas line from Spain.

vivaldi

bern haus on oka sardal

Vivaldi (aka Vivi) has journeyed all the way from the renowned kennel Bern Haus on Oka to join our growing family.

His pedigree is a dream and has a long lineage history of health clearances. His bloodline carries countless championships from his dad to grandparents and great-grandparents.

Temperament: In our home he is known as Cat-Dog. He loves rubbing himself against the couch and zig-zag himself through human legs. He bounces like a silly goat, and follows the philosophy “Play hard, sleep hard.”

His favorite TV show is River Monsters.

Vivaldi is smart, attuned to his pack, loving, patient, full of puppy brains and funny. He loves to cuddle and taking long naps in the sun.

A giant puppy at heart.

So pure-hearted it is hard to resist his aloof personality.

She loves to jump around like a silly goat, and has begun getting the hand of training. We are looking forward to seeing her develop as time goes by.
