Ruth Neilsen and Cindy Switzler are probably too humble to brag, so I will brag for them. On Friday the 27th. the Northwest Greater Swiss Mountain Dog Club held its first draft test. There were two Gt. Swiss, one Rottie and four Bernese entered. Very proud to see how Ruth and Cindy and their dogs worked. There were three Bernese that passed. Ruth with Max (who is nine years old) earned their Open Draft and Cindy with Windee and Katee earned their Open Draft as well. It was extremely hot and on the one mile freight haul it must have been very taxing on them. These were the only passes as well.
Today the same Club is holding a AHBA Herding Test and I see Ruth has Winter entered. Look forward to hearing how they do It was so nice to see so many Gt. Swiss and Bernese and two mini Swissies ( Entlebuchers) all in one place. There is talk of trying to form a Swiss Dog Group so we can get together and have a lot of fun. Thank you Ruth and Cindy for making us proud to have our beautiful, wonderful, clever Bernese, and showing how well they can work. Coral.
