Featured Pedigree Breed

Each month the Kennel Gazette features a pedigree breed in the Judges' Choice section. February 2011's edition features:

The Bernese Mountain Dog

One of the most beautiful of Swiss dogs, used by the weavers of Berne as a draught dog, and also employed in herding sheep and cattle. He is still occasionally harnessed to a light cart, which he enjoys pulling, often to the delight of the small children riding inside.

You can read more about the Bernese Mountain Dog, and much more each month, in the Kennel Gazette. Why not become a Kennel Club Affiliate for only 20GBP and receive a free copy of the Gazette each month as well as discounts on most KC publications and discounted dfs Crufts tickets?
