About Me.....
I started my Berner journey back in 1986 with my very special, beloved Gus. He taught me all about this wonderful breed and started me on my way to becoming a Bernese breeder. He was my foundation dog and his presence is still felt here at Peacefield, with his blood flowing in the fifth generation! Above all, he continues to live on in my heart, and is still, my inspiration. Ten years after I brought Gus home in a ranging blizzard, I bought my Silk (Can. Ch. Peacefield Southwind's Silk) from Jon and Judy Cons, also of Maine. She somehow knew that though I had several other much loved Berners, that special spot in my heart that had been left vacant with Gus's passing, was still empty and she filled it immediately and dramatically, becoming my next "heart dog". She also was the foundation bitch to whom I owe the most, for it is from her that all of my continuing successes have flowed (along with carefully planned contributions from the sires involved of course!) The path she set me on, hit its highest point to date in 2005, when her grandson Ch Peacefield's Flashback v. Dragon (above), won the 2005 Bernese Mountain Dog Club of America National Specialty Show, in Gettysburg, Pa. "Flash" was only the 3rd ever, breeder/owner handled dog to win the National Best in Specialty Show (BISS) honors!
