Harvey
was born in our living room on a cold Sunday afternoon in February
2006.
He is a lovely lad with a calm
and
gentle
temperament, a medium sized male who is little trouble and a delight
to live with. He can be so calm and gentle especially when playing
with our young children, yet strong
and powerful when pulling his cart and is our Chloe's
favourite.
Harvey has achieved
his Kennel Club Good Citizen Awards in Bronze, Silver & Gold.
He is worked and shown by Philippa in all working areas namely; carting,
obedience
and agility. He started carting in August 2007 at 18 months and has
passed his Beginners carting three times, his Intermediate carting
three times and his Advanced carting three times and is now a Master carting dog.
He
prefers to pull our two wheel buggy cart but during working competitions
he pulls our four wheel traditional Swiss cart. He achieved
his first Best of Breed award at 18 months and has
qualified for
Crufts
in
2007 & 2008.
He has won many awards in the show ring both at Championship and
Open shows
nationwide, along with carting, obedience and agility.
Harvey has a unique
bark which he only ever uses when Mervyn arrives home and since puppy
hood a talking howl which he usually only does when Mervyn is about.
Harvey
is a loyal dog with a very friendly attitude and loves meeting other
dogs and being
around his family. He has a very waggy tail which has won him many
waggiest tail classes at fun Bernese events and being a greedy dog
is also rather good at biscuit catching too. He is only lightly shown these days but still appears at all Bernese working events.
