A bit about Eli...

Eli was imported from our good friend, Valerie Hughes (Carraigbern), in Ireland as a puppy. His father is the very Typey Multi Ch Milbu Bold As Bear from Latvia and his mother Fortuneia Campfire Marshmallow from Estonia. We wanted to import Eli for some fresh blood he brings with him some different European lines.

We instantly fell in love with his exuberant and outgoing, yet also sensitive nature and as he grew we soon realised that he was quite unaware of his large size! Eli is at the top end of the Bernese Mountain Dog standard at 27 inches, yet still can bound around the house and moors and squeeze himself onto the sofa with you! Eli, is very much a "Daddy's" boy and very loyal, yet also a clown and loves his days out at the shows.

Eli has already proven himself in the show ring, making him up into a champion within 6 months following our forced break due to Covid-19; he has also proven himself as a sire and we have some lovely daughters by him. We generally find him to put his head quality on his puppies, improve rear angulation and provide them with a solid core and body once mature. Regarding the HSIMs Database, we usually find he breeds as a very good SH B when looking at different combinations with numerous bitches.

We are also very pleased with his current Grandchildren so far. 

*Eli is available at Stud to approved, KC Registered, Health tested bitches*
