Our Bitches
All of our bitches live as house dogs, either at Bertschire or in other homes. We include them on this page when they are active bitches in our breeding program.
CH Swallowsflight Coal Kissing Kaper JH - "Caper" is a lovely package of excellent type, sound efficient movement and excellent marking ability, coupled with high trainability. She is of very moderate size and has personality-plus. Caper finished with 3 majors in limited showing, and was placed in her sweepstakes class at the 2005 national specialty. Caper earned her JH in 4 consecutive tests. At the 2009 FCRSA national specialty, Caper made several cuts in a very competitive Best of Breed class. Eye exam is normal. Caper is co-owned with Richard van der Horst. OFA information
CH Bertschire House On Fire - "Flame" has a stunning feminine headpiece with a great topline, forechest, bone and lovely movement from all directions. She is extremely sweet in personality, reminding us very much of her great-grandmother, Ellie (CH Twin Oak's Joyeaux Noelle). Flame loves birds and is a strong swimmer. She won a 4th in her sweepstakes class, and made the cut in the competitive Bred By Exhibitor class at both the 2007 and 2008 national specialties, and finished with three 5 pt majors, a BOB win over multiple specials and a Group 3. Eyes clear. OFA information
CH Bertschire Just An Angel JH WC- Halo is our pick bitch from our Spenser/Caper litter. She is a nice size, with outstanding movement, lovely coat, pretty head and nice silhouette. Her greatest strength is her willingness to please. She's a most entertaining little dog, showing a lot of promise in the field and absolutely fantastic around the house. Halo placed 2nd in a large 12-18 months class at the 2008 national specialty, placed 2nd in a large Open bitch class at the 2009 FCRSA national specialty. She earned her WC in her first attempt. Eye exam is normal. OFA information
CH Bertschire Ka-Ching JH WC- Nickel is a singleton puppy from our Madison's last breeding. She could single-handedly solve the energy crisis, as she has enough energy and personality for an entire litter! Fortunately, Nickel is eager to please and she LOVES to retrieve and swim; the first time she saw a double, it was the day she earned her WC! She has a pretty silhouette, lovely movement and and very nice head. At 19 months, Nickel finished easily, winning a puppy Sporting Group 4 and Best of Opposite Sex in the sweepstakes at CRFCRC's annual supported entry under breeder Mary Young (Windfall) along the way. Eye exam is normal. OFA information
