Congratulations to Nati & Breanne on a fantastic year in 2002! They did an incredible job in the junior showmanship ring (see Breanne's page) as well as in the breed ring. Nati and Breanne also beat top-rated specials in the breed ring at the BMDCSEW Regional Specialty in March 2002 for Best of Opposite, and at the BMDCR Regional Specialty in Colorado Springs (June 2002) for another Best of Opposite in a large entry over top rated specials.
Nati also congratulates her daughter
Champion Summit's Oh-be-joyful "Joy"
owned by Sharon Keefer for finishing her championship
with four majors in tough Colorado competition.
Joy started her specials career off with a wonderful best of breed
win at the Evergreen Kennel Club show in November 2002
over several top-rated dogs.
We are so proud of this beautiful girl, she embodies
the beauty and spirit of her mother, and is truly a "Joy"!

CH Jalue's Starlight Sonatina
"Nati"
BMDCA Top Producer
of Champions
Nati on the grooming table at the Des Moines show (January 2003). Now a veteran, she is more beautiful than ever!
Nati is truly the foundation of Summit Bernese Mountain Dogs, a kennel name chosen as a tribute to the late Kathy Roth, the breeder of Nati's grandmother, CH Bernerliebe Tundra Von Summit. Both in the show ring and at home, Nati's quintessentially Bernese intelligence, calm and confidence have earned her the nickname, "The Queen of Serene."
Nati's puppies who have scaled great heights to become Summit champions are:
CH Summit's Just Do It "Justice" sired by CH Nashem's Bad To The Bone;
CH Summit's Pearly Everlasting "Pearl" sired by CH Classique's Paint Your Waggin', who has also achieved status as a Top Producer of Champions;
CH Summit's Oh-be-joyful "Joy" sired by CH Nashem's Mungo Jerrie V Jendas; and
CH Summit's Star Gazer "Gazer", also sired by CH Nashem's Mungo Jerrie V Jendas.
CH Summit's Fur Elise "Liesl". Liesl was awarded the prestigious distinction of Best Bred-by-Exhibitor and Reserve Winners Bitch at the 2005 BMDCA National Specialty.
Our gratitude goes to all of the friends and families who have helped keep Nati's starlight shining through her offspring. All are stellar family companions, and several have reached beyond the summit as obedience, agility, draft, herding and therapy dogs.
