Hello and a very warm welcome from the Waldershelf Family!

Bernese Mountain Dogs have been a huge part of our life since 1983 and more recently Entlebucher Mountain Dogs have also joined our family. Our entire world revolves around our dogs and the breed but we would not have it any other way.

We hope you enjoy our website where you will find out all about us, our dogs and the crazy life we lead with them. For those prospective owners we have included lots of helpful information in the ‘Bernese’ and ‘Entlebucher’ sections to help with your research.

We welcome you to contact us and are happy to answer any questions you may have.

Stephen and Jeanette Green, Emily and Philip English.

Ryder & his family, visited the All About Dogs event at the weekend and won the most handsome dog class (with over 40 other entrants!). Of course we had no doubt at all, because he’s one handsome chap! 🩵 www.waldershelf.com/entlebuchers

CRUFTS 2024 - Part 5 Nora’s favourite bit about crufts is the shops… and she particularly made herself very comfortable this year at Butternut Box, staking out the large display dog bowl, trying to eat the display and working the crowd until someone finally gave her a sample 🙈 she’s such a independent, demanding, clever girl but we wouldn’t have her any other way ☺️💜 www.waldershelf.com #bernersennenhund #dogshow #hungry #dog #hungrydog #lifewithdogs #berneseofinstagram #bernesemountaindogs #showdogsofinstagram #showdogs #showdoglife
CRUFTS 2024 - Part 4 The highlight of our Bernese’ year is doing their annual stint on Discover Dogs - it was so busy this year we are distinctly lacking photos but here’s what we managed to capture! 🐾 www.waldershelf.com #bernesemountaindog #bernesemountaindogs #dogfamily #lifewithdogs #showdog #bernese #bernersennenhund #berneseofinstagram #dogbreeder #dogshow #crufts #thekennelclub
CRUFTS 2024 - Part 3 We had 5 of our Entlebuchers representing the breed at the Discover Dogs this year 🐾 Betty, a seasoned professional was her usual calm, confident self but she was also joined by her 4 children Ada, Adele, Ryder and Bonnie and it was their first time at anything like this and they were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! 🥰 We were so unbelievably proud of their temperaments, they were totally unfazed by the crowds, noise, other dogs and LOVED saying hello to every single person that visited the stand to meet this wonderful breed. The pride you feel as breeder in moments like this make all the hours of choosing lines with outstanding temperaments, developing their characters from the very start and socialising, socialising and more socialising pay off. Nothing could have exactly prepared them for this environment but their positive, well rounded, solid temperaments carried them through ❤️ www.waldershelf.com Powered by Yorkshires Finest Pet Food Groomed with WildWash #dog #entlebuchermountaindog #crufts2024 #dogshow #breeding #crufts #show #puppylife #thekennelclub #entlebuchersennenhunde #puppyoftheday #entlebucherpuppy #puppy #entlebuchersennenhund #entlebucher_sennenhund #lifewithdogs #entlebucher #entlebucher_daily #entlebuchersofinstagram

CRUFTS 2024 - Part 1 A post I’ll have to do in 5 parts as we were so proud of our small team who represented Waldershelf across all 4 days of the show. But first up is all about the sassy Queen of Waldershelf - NORA 💜 Champion Waldershelf Can’t Ignora JW Not only won a large competitive open class under breed specialist judge Joanne Sutton but then went on to take best female and best opposite sex 🤩 Just an amazing day, so many tears shed and certainly made it a Crufts to remember. Sharing her critique here and some photos of our beautiful girl 😍 “As her name implies, she could not be ignored! Medium size with lovely strength to this female and now fully mature at 4 years. Lovely breed type and balance, has a classic head with the desired flat skull, lovely breadth to muzzle and stop, kind well-shaped dark eyes and uses her ears to advantage. Strong neck of correct length, front assembly good but would prefer slightly more angle to the upper arm, deep chest, well boned legs and stands correct in front. Her topline is firm, correct ribbing and just slightly longer through the loin, beautiful rounded rump with correct tail set. Well let down behind, well-muscled and has correct rear pasterns. She comes into her own on the move with great reach and drive coming towards and going away, super profile movement. In full coat and with faultless presentation, at one with her handler and a real showgirl. Pleased to award her the Bitch CC and Best Opposite Sex” - Joanne Sutton www.waldershelf.com Powered by Yorkshires Finest Pet Food Groomed with @wildwashnatural #bernersennenhund #bernesemountaindog #bernesemountaindogs #bernese #dogbreeder #berneseofinstagram #thekennelclub #dogshow #thekennelclubuk #show #dog #showdog #crufts #crufts2024
