The Trek West is my first litter out of Paulina "Lina."  I started researching stud dogs when Lina was very young as I knew this wasn't going to be an easy task.  One day I was scrolling Instagram and saw a photo of a young male and did a double take.  Wow do I like him and he appears to have just what Lina needs.  I promptly went to Berner Garde to look him up and I was not surprised by his pedigree.  It is full of typey sound dogs in both body and mind that just happen to be my all time favorites.  The pedigree has above average longevity, there are many raw fed and minimally vaccinated dogs in the pedigree and there aren't a lot of causes of death from the same thing.  I ran the Antagene mate selector and the results fell within my acceptable range.  The only issue was he is a three day drive away.  Nothing stops me from doing what is best for the breed so a road trip it was!  It was an incredible experience.  Lina had 4 girls and 4 boys who will be tracked below.
