Bison is that "all-around" farm dog the Berners are supposed to be. You look at pictures from the 1920s, when the Berners were still being
used as true working dogs, and you'll recognize him. While he is on the smaller side of the breed standard, he still measures in at a correct height.
His best features are his temperment, expression, attitude, athleticism, and side gait. He's a clown in the ring — he always thinks applause is all about him.
He's our first champion, first dog with an obedience title (beating Pockets by 10 minutes!), first dog exhibited at Nationals (in three events the first year, no less!), first attempt at a stud dog. He's matured from
an independent, go-go-go Gumby puppy to a mature partner (with a lot of spirit!). Whether we are in the show ring, obedience ring, on a therapy visit, or just a trip to pick up dog food,
he's always having fun. There's never a sad day in his life and he's always up for fun!
Bison was ranked #4 in the Front & Finish Novice A standings for 2006, with 11 points.
