Lulu 123 lbs. – 26″ tall
I admittedly named this beautiful dog after one of my favorite clothing lines – Lululemon. After all, it’s what every fashionable dog breeder is wearing!
Lulu comes from very strong lines, which we’ve traced back many generations. Lulu’s parents are SwissRidge’s Colbert Portier and Sweetwater Farms’s Sabrina. You can find information about Colbert in the “Males” section of this website and Sabrina’s photo and information on my mom’s website at moorsbernese.com.
Lulu’s mom, Sabrina, is a sweet, quiet, intelligent Bernese, who passed the hip, elbow, and joint conformation tests with flying colors! Sabrina’s mother, Hannah, also has sound hips and elbows, and a great temperament. Hannah’s mother is Heidi, a first-generation import from Hungary with sound hips and elbows. Sabrina’s father is Arcadian’s Drapped Over Ron, who has a big, strong body structure and a sweet temperament. His hips are excellent and his elbows sound. He has an amazing background: his father is Cherokee Jack, whose parents were imported from the Czech Republic and Slovakia, and his mother is Cherokee Sally, whose parents are from Hungary.
As for Lulu’s father, Colbert, he is one of my mom’s finest Bernese mountain dogs, and he’s sired many amazing Bernese and bernedoodle puppies. Colbert is confident, calm, and good-natured. His body structure is large and strong – clearly designed for the draft and carting work for which Bernese were initially bred. Colbert has excellent conformation and his markings are striking. His hips are excellent and his elbows negative for dysplasia. His heart is sound. His mother is Nellar, his grandmother is Veruschka, and his grandfather is Daiko, an imported Belgian champion – all of whom are owned by my mother. Colbert’s father is Dominique, who we imported from a fabulous kennel in France after a long 12-month wait. It’s very exciting for me to have one of my mom’s fourth-generation dogs in my breeding program.
Lulu is not only a beauty, but also a real character. She is full of charisma and has an incredible disposition. She is calm and affectionate, and interacts well with the other dogs. She loves being with people and follows us around all day long without leaving our side. She is very attached to us and I call her our little shadow. She loves to snuggle on the couch and watch movies or sleep in bed. I must admit that since she is such a gentle and passive dog, we let her get away with this.
On hot summer days, Lulu loves to chill out under a tree or in our pond, but on cooler days, she loves to go for hikes. She has a very sweet and nurturing side to her, very much a mother bear. Every one of the dogs at the kennel loves her, and she reciprocates that feeling. She has had a few litters of her own, and they were truly stunning. If you are lucky enough to have a puppy from one of her litters, you are sure to have one amazing little pup!
