Welcome to the page of Chris & Linda Jury of Schallenberg Bernese Mountain Dogs formerly of Paraparaumu, now of Inglewood in Taranaki.
We have owned and loved Bernese since 1991 and now share our home with 8 of these gorgeous dogs. Our first being Moritz Typhoon Toyah, followed by our beautiful Swedish Import Eiger (NZCH Jamakis Lucky Swede). We then kept a lovely girl Skye from one of Eiger's litters - sadly Skye passed away in February 2007 at the grand old age of 11. Our household now consists of Vevey, Murren, Monty, Kiwa, Summer, Denver and our 2 new additions from Summer's recent litter - Dante and Emmerson.
Our aim is to never waiver from our goal of perfecting the unique beauty and temperament of the Berner, and never to breed for fad rather to maintain the original working qualities and purpose as well as wonderful family members.
We believe temperament is the most important concern in a companion dog so we will never compromise on soundness of character nor physical soundness.
All of our dogs intended for breeding are hip and elbow scored and fall below the current breed averages, and they have all attained their NZ Championship title. Our dogs live within our home as treasured members of our family.
Quality puppies are available occasionally to suitable, loving homes. At Schallenberg we breed only from exceptional stock and every breeding is carefully planned to ensure a quality litter that is sound and well socialised with superb temperaments. If you are interested in a puppy from us or would like to know more about this wonderful breed please contact us.

 Our beautiful Summer!
Summer has proved to be a wonderful new foundation bitch for Schallenberg exhibiting all the qualities we were looking for to carry the success of the Schallenberg programme forwards in leaps and bounds. We feel extremely lucky to have her.
From a predominantly Swiss pedigree, she has the substance & breed type rarely seen in a bitch, and the wonderful temperament so prevalent in her ancestry. At around 45kg, Summs is heavily muscled, and an absolute powerhouse on the move yet still retains her femininity & beauty.
We have enjoyed a great deal of success with her in the showring. Her sterling temperament and character make her a pleasure to take anywhere, and super reliable!
WINNER OF BOB and INTERMEDIATE OF GROUP at the 2006 NATIONAL DOG SHOW and RESERVCC BITCH to her littersister at the BMDC 2006 Championship Show under a renowned breed specialist judge from the USA.
WINNER OF BOB NATIONAL PRELUDE SHOW 2007 and BOB NATIONAL DOG SHOW 2007 - 2nd consecutive year!!
Summer produced her first litter in 2005 from a linebreeding to the veteran, Multi CH Turi V Bernetta (Swiss Imp) and we kept her son, Denver (CH Schallenberg Man of Mysturi). We are totally thrilled by his H & E scores - perfect 0's all round! He is only the 2nd NZ Bred Bernese to ever attain perfect scores.
Dante and Emmerson from Summer's 2007 litter to Aust / Can / Am Ch Zanzebern Defender have already proved themselves in the showring - Dante easily achieved her Championship status at only 13 months - she is a real show stopper and we are excited about what she will offer Schallenberg kennels in the future. Dante's success continues with 2 x BABY PUPPY OF GROUP, 1 X NZ BRED OF GROUP, 1 X JUNIOR OF GROUP and RESERVE OF GROUP, and Emmerson also has a BABY PUPPY OF GROUP win. Emmerson has also gained his Champion status and although he is a stunning dog he doesn't enjoy the ring as much as his sister does!
Dante is certainly following in her parents paw prints - winning BEST OF BREED - NATIONALS 2008 with her litter sister Essie winning Reserve Bitch and Emmerson winning Reserve Dog - a great weekend for Schallenberg!
She is also well on her way to becoming the Top Winning Bernese in 2008.
We are extremely excited about Summers progeny and the future they hold. Dante has been scored and we are very pleased with the soundness Summer is producing - Elbows 0:1 and Hips 2:2 - Dante's sister Essie has also been scored - Elbows 0:0 and Hips 0:1. Emmerson's elbows are in - 0:0 hips 4:5.

 We breed only for quality improvement and not simply to satisfy orders. Our pups are raised underfoot and well socialised with people and other dogs by the time they leave with their new families.
All companion pups are sold with a non-breeding endorsement on their NZKC registration. This means we do not sell breeding stock, and we require that all companion pups are neutered / spayed by 12 months old. We believe that only the best pups in the litter should ever be considered for breeding and or showing if the breed is to see ongoing improvement.
Pups come microchipped, wormed, vaccinated and with a comprehensive guide to raising and care, pictorial pedigree history and ongoing breeder support.
We vet our potential puppy homes very stringently to provide the best possible homes for our precious babies.

 Denver is from Summer's first litter to Turi (owned by Lisa Stevenson) He is turning into a magnificent boy taking Best of Breed at the National Curtain Raiser 2006 over his mum.
Denver has recently been hip and elbow scored coming back with 0:0 hips and 0:0 elbows - needless to say we are very pleased. He is only the 2nd NZ Bred Bernese to ever score perfect zeros.
Described by a USA Breeder Specialist judge as "Reminiscent of the big Swiss type Berner farm dogs of old" Denny will take time to mature into his big body, and hopefully his brain will catch up in due course!
He is a pleasure to own and a truely wonderful friend and companion with a sterling temperament.
