Kielerstar McClintock
Mac is my closest Berner companion and is not a a stud. Mac is NOT a show dog. I got Mac as a 'show potential'. As Mac matured, it became obvious that Mac is not show quality. Mac has certified clear elbows but he has one subluxated hip. After study, I am convinced this hip problem is genetic and so I promptly removed him from the gene pool. Mac has made a wonderful companion and he is neutered. This is one of the difficult decisions that a responsible breeder must do: neuter a beloved dog when it is in the best interest of the breed that he should not be part of a breeding program. I'm extremely thankful to breeder Judy Arneson-Johnson for my Mac. He's got a superb temperament (true to his sire) and is one of the 'prettiest' Berners I've ever seen. He's a very sound Berner. His temperament is the absolute BEST that I have ever lived with in a dog. Sire: Intl CH Kielerstar Eli V. Muir Dam: Hidden Valley Cracklin Rosie
Above, Mac going through his puppy evaluations at 8 weeks old. As you can see, lots of experienced breeders' hands go all over a puppy to determine structural correctness during a litter evaluation. Many experienced breeders say that whatever you see in a puppy at 8 weeks is what you will see at that pup's maturity (nutrition and lifestyle being proper).

Below, Mac and Megan sitting pretty in the snow outside my home, October 2002. Remember, Megan is 2+ months older than Mac.
Mac - NOT just another lap Berner!!
If there's SNOW, then Mac must be out playing in it!!
