We had Tika less than a year when we decided we wanted another Bernese Mountain Dog. We had met Mike and Anne Elliott several times and really liked the temperament and type of their dogs. We joined their puppy waiting list and were delighted to collect Naoise in July 2004.

Naoise has always been raised naturally. She has a wonderful temperament and fantastic structure. I have just begun to do some carting with her. She clearly has natural talent in this area and has taken to carting with minimal training. She is occasionally shown in conformation and was the first Bernese ever to achieve her Junior Diploma. She also visits an elderly friend living in a retirement home. But above all else, she is a part of the family.

Naoise is named after an ancient Celtic Warrior I read about in a book at her breeders' house.
