Please tell us why you would like to become a member of BERP. Please tell us about yourself and your dogs. If for any reason you have not met one of the guidelines listed below, please explain, and provide any necessary documentation either by mail, fax, or email. (See contact information below.)

Example: I would like to continue to educate prospective ESS owners about the breed, and its health issues.
As a breeder/exhibitor with over 30 years experience my goal has been to place each puppy/dog I produce into loving homes where their full potential might be realized. I require a training deposit which is refunded after the puppy has completed 2 training classes, one of which is a puppy socialization class before the puppy is 1 year of age. This ensures a dog/owner bond and education for a smooth relationship. I have the Puppy Temperament Testing done at 7 weeks of age for all of my litters and make these results available to the new owners. Many prospective owners have witnessed the testing, and it is also taped for further evaluation. I encourage AKC registration and participation in AKC events. Currently an AKC Breeder of Merit.

Please provide information about the litters you have bred or co-bred in the last three years. PLEASE PROVIDE REGISTERED NAMES AND CERTIFICATE NUMBERS OF STATUS IN THE AREAS PROVIDED (ATTACH ADDITIONAL PAPER IF NEEDED) Provide any necessary documentation by mail, fax, or email. (See contact information below.) If you have not bred any litters in the last three years, please just type in NONE.

Example: I hold owners of the stud dogs I use to the same standards as my own dogs with documented testing.

2010 Grand CH. GOOGLE SR123456701 (cerf clear, hips good, pra carrier, pfk normal) X Ch. YAHOO1, SR98765402 6 puppies 2 titled at 7 months of age: YAHOO2 RN and YAHOO 3. YAHOO2 went to her new home after her titled was achieved. All others in the litter are spayed/neutered and in pet homes, completed their training classes.

2009 Grand CH. ROADRUNNER SR12345670, (cerf clear, hips good, pra carrier, pfk normal) X CH. YAHOO1, SR98765402 6 puppies CH. YAHOO4, RN achieved both titles in 2010 with Breeder/owner/handler from puppy and BBE wins. Placement in Rally Novice.

2008 YAHOO3 X YAHOO5 6 puppies This has been the only mistake litter I have ever had, conceived while my husband and I were on a 10 day vacation. She was not in season when we left, and was when we returned. I NEVER would have condoned such a breeding! These 2 were half brother/half sister and both still very young, She under 2 yrs of age and He a puppy of 9 months of age both out of CH. YAHOO1. All puppies were sold on spay/neuter agreements and full disclosure was made to new owners on the parents' relationship. All puppies were DNA PRA tested prior to sale, the 5 girls were all affected, the 1 boy was a carrier. One of the females I PTS as a 2 week old due to a congenital defect that took 2 weeks to diagnose. The 5 remaining puppies are in loving pet homes
