Electra

Electra 85 lbs. – 24″ tall

Electra is a beautiful Bernese mountain dog out of my mother’s lines, and is the fourth generation bred at her kennel. We have been hand-selecting only the best Bernese to breed over the last four generations.

Electra’s parents are Jacqueena and Duc. Duc is a stunning dog, imported from an award-winning kennel in France. I had the opportunity to visit the kennel and hand-pick him from the litter. Duc’s lines are health-tested over five generations back, so this kennel is only breeding the best. They also participate in cutting-edge genetic research testing for cancer markers in the breed. This research is so important, and since many of these tests are not available in Canada, we often go overseas when expanding our lines.

Electra’s mother, Jacqueena, is a large, exquisite dog. She was bred at my mother’s kennel, and her parents are Nellar and Dominique. Dominique and Duc are from the same kennel in France. Nellar was also bred at my mother’s kennel – her parents are Veruschka, who was imported from an award-winning kennel in Slovakia, and Daiko, who was imported from Belgium over a decade ago. For more information on these dogs, you can visit my mother’s website at moorsbernese.com.

All of the dogs that make up these lines have been imported from the best kennels around the world, including kennels in France, Belgium, and Slovakia. I am so confident in these lines that I kept four puppies from one of Jacqueena’s litters – Adelyn, Cordelia, Electra, and Madelyn – and a female from another one of her litters, named Cristal. It’s important to look at the horizontal pedigree as well as the vertical pedigree, which I’m able to do because I see the parental lineage in addition to testing siblings.

All of her littermates are stunning dogs, but I have to say that Electra has the most substance to her. She is a bit shorter than Cordelia, but she is very thick. She has large, heavy legs and you can tell she was bred to be a strong, working mountain dog. Her expressive eyes are the window to her gentle and loving soul. She is a very joyful, loving, and boisterous girl. She gazes up at me with so much love in her eyes, and when I sit down beside her, she just lies down and gently puts her two front legs in my lap and snuggles her head into me. She is a very affectionate dog and would rather stay close than wander off on her own. Electra gets along well with all the other dogs, but her best friend at the kennel is Madelyn. They have such a great sisterly connection. Electra is a great motherly figure to her puppies and raises them to be amazing pups. I feel that she would excel as a therapy dog and I’m so happy that I’m able to share her offspring with dog lovers everywhere!
