Texas

85 lbs. – 25.5″ tall

Texas is a stunning Bernese mountain dog out of my mother’s lines, and is the third generation bred at her kennel. We have been hand-selecting only the best Bernese to breed over the last decade. Her parents are Willow 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, I often go overseas when expanding my lines. Willow is from my mom’s lines and bred right at her kennel. She is an amazing, loving, calm, and very social girl. For more information on these dogs, you can visit my mother’s website at moorsbernese.com.

Texas is from very strong, healthy, and well-tempered lines that I have had the privilege of knowing for many generations. There is so much more to breeding dogs than putting two dogs together and seeing what happens. It is of utmost importance to be selective in the process and well informed of a dog’s pedigree. When I look at the lineage, it is important for me to look at health and structure, and to learn as much as I can about the dogs’ temperaments as well. Bernese are known to have several health problems, so it’s critical for a breeder to conduct extensive research into the pedigree. All of the dogs that make up these lines have been imported from the best kennels around the world, including kennels in France and Slovakia. I decided to keep three puppies – Cuddles, Tubbers, and Texas – from this litter because of how much I adore their parents.

Texas is a beautiful girl with a regal stature. She stands tall and proud and loves to show off her stride to anyone willing to watch. Texas has a vibrant personality and likes to be the center of attention. She is a big teddy bear who wants love and to please her humans. She is a quick study, and enjoys any interaction time with dogs or people. She is very smart, coming in 2nd place in our training competition that we had at the kennel. She is calm and collected most of the time, except when she is racing around the yard with her doggy friends. She loves to run and play with her best friend and sister Cuddles, and then cools off with a nice hose shower. Texas is a loyal girl, and is very curious. Quite often she forgets her size in comparison to mine, and I find myself with a 100-pound lap dog! Her personality is as big as she is, and I can’t wait to see what this girl will accomplish and what wonderful surprises she will give me throughout the years.
