Welcome To Bertschire's Home On The Web!
We are a small kennel, located in Winterville, right outside of the
university town of Athens, Georgia. We strive to breed correct Flat Coated Retrievers in
type, temperament, structure, working ability and overall character. Our dogs
all live in the house, so we demand correct temperaments from all of our dogs, and
all are worked in the field and titled there as we have the opportunity. We also seek
complete health clearances (hips, CERF, elbows and patellas) before breeding any
of our dogs. At a minimum, we compete in AKC all breed and specialty dog shows
and AKC hunting tests. We also strongly believe that Flat Coated
Retrievers are first and foremost companion gundogs, so we also hunt over our
dogs whenever possible. Some of the dogs you will see on these pages do not
actually live with us, as we have a limit on how many dogs we can happily keep,
but all are within our circle of friends and are available to us at any time.
Many Bertschire dogs are also successful at obedience and
agility competitions. We are proud to say that our dogs have earned major awards
at national specialties, including Best of Breed, Reserve Winners Dog, Winners Bitch, Best In Puppy
& Veteran's Sweepstakes
and Best of Opposite in Puppy and Veteran Sweepstakes and numerous Awards of Merit. Bertschire dogs have also qualified for the
FCRSA Hall of Fame. We are
members of the Flat Coated Retriever Society
of America, and actively serve on committees, and Andrea Holsinger
judged the Puppy and Veteran sweepstakes at the 2002 national specialty.
Please email with any questions or
suggestions! We can also be reached by phone at 706-742-5743 (this is our
business phone number, but if you leave a message, we will call you back!), but
email is preferred! If you are new to Flat Coated Retrievers, please
read our page on the downside of
this breed first!
Please browse our site, and we hope you enjoy virtually meeting some of our
best friends! Some of our pages are still under construction, but you
should find something of interest. We also occasionally have
adult dogs available through either
FCRSA
Rescue, or dogs we have bred that we are placing.
NEW! Information on carrying
dogs to England! What
paperwork you need, and what it cost us to show at the Crufts dog show.
Also, see our new HAND-PAINTED tiles!
