GaBriett Kennel

GaBriett Kennel My name is Terri Collins and I am the owner of GaBriett Bernese Mountain Dogs, BG ID 44443. Although, she bred them both, no puppies resulted.

I have an acre of lakefront property in the rural community of Mount Uniacke which is 45 minutes from Halifax, Nova Scotia. I always loved the “look” of Bernese but it wasn’t until 8 years ago that I really started researching them – what they were bred to do, their temperament, health issues, and then I started searching for a breeder. Over the years, I became involved in showing, rally, agility,

dock diving, scent detection, and draft. I opened the world to my girls and let them decide what they truly loved – for one girl that was the show world and for the other it was the draft world so I set about finding out what I could about both. In the show world, I decided I better learn to groom and handle myself as well as learn about proper structure. In the draft world, I learned all things draft and am now a draft representative on the CKC draft council. I am also a founding member of a drafting group called “The PopCarts”. We participate in parades – decorating our carts and ourselves, visit senior residences, and just “pop-up” around our city. My girls were originally co-owned with Janice Myra, MyraMountain Kennel, for breeding. They were eventually signed over to me solely so I could start my own kennel. The focus of my program seems simple (but I know it is not easy) – structure, function, sound temperament, longevity, reduce cancer, and keep the purpose of Bernese – to be able to do the work they were bred to do. I want to enter a show one weekend and compete in draft the next. My Bernese are a loving part of my family and live indoors with me. I do everything I can to ensure that they enjoy a wonderful and long healthy life. I had my first litter in 2019. All my dogs have very solid temperaments and are very much family dogs. I ensure they all have the appropriate health clearances and participate in the Bernese Mountain Dog DNA and Tissue Repository (at MSU).

I’m one proud mama - we are back from the NB draft tests and the drumroll please!

After years of difficulties, Ticino showed what she can really do - passed both DD tests and Sunday she was near perfection in her off leash healing pattern. I didn’t think I could be any happier until her 3 minute down stay when a very accomplished boy could not resist her beauty and got up and went over to say hi. Ticino did not break her down stay and made my heart burst with pride. ♥️ This is what we train for. The best trained dogs can have a moment!

Ticino is now….

What can I possibly say about my Tatiana - she worked her heart out ♥️

Saturday she received 2 legs towards a NDD title. We found out afterwards that her harness was causing an issue which means she worked twice as hard. Who knew my princess had this in her!

Equipment change for Sunday and she blew me away earning her NDD title!!! Tail wagging all the time. Thank you for lending me the beautiful red harness Wendy Bennett ♥️

Tatti is now …..
CH MyraMountain Jindi Brie NDD

Both girls are retired from competitive draft now. They are 8 and will draft for fun ♥️♥️

Thank you to everyone who worked so hard putting on these tests - judges, stewards, organizing committee, setup and tear down crew, and those who feed us - it takes a village!!!!!

Congratulations to all competitors - win or not, be proud of yourselves - you got out there and did it. Some beautiful new working teams with lots of promise!!

Happy International Puppies Day 💗

EASY DIY TOOTHPASTE RECIPE!
We all grossly underestimate the power of oral hygiene. But the science is clear: oral health plays into everything about us. When our pets’ mouths and gums are clean and free of infection, we reduce their risk for dangerous inflammation that can affect their whole body.

Beginner’s Tip: If you’ve never worked on cleaning up your dog’s mouth, using this blend of ingredients from your kitchen is an easy place to start. Baking soda is a safe abrasive that helps remove plaque, and coconut oil has innate antimicrobial properties. Using gauze, a cotton round or a soft cloth, massage the mixture onto a tooth, starting with your dog’s upper molars (where most plaque accumulates). By cleaning one tooth a day you can desensitize your dog to the teeth polishing process and minimize stress.

You’ll find more recipes and tips to help you make healthier choices in The Forever Dog book, available for pre-order now: foreverdog.com/get-it-now/

This hazardous chewy toy is a by-product of the leather industry, not the food industry (which is why most are labelled as non-edible and/or dangerous if swallowed). The chemicals it takes to make this unsafe chew, from start to finish, is staggering!
