"Dino is champion now",

Pictured above in the local newspaper in his home town Backnang on 03.12.2004. Dino von der Hohen Linde is without doubt a beautiful dog. The 4 year old Bernese Mountain Dog has received certificates proving this.

Wanting to enter Dino into competitions he was X-rayed by Dr. Wurster in Augsburg, Germany. The results that came back were satisfactory (HP-free and ED-zero, the HD breed was 90). With these results, Dino went to Bingen (Rhine) for an examination to see if he was suitable to breed, this result was EXCELLENT.

His ability to father when test at the University of Munich came back with a positive result. He was then taken to a famous breeder in the area of Backnang, Germany. I was trained how to successfully breed Dino.

Dino has grown up in natural surroundings and of course trained regularly. As a result of this he has a beautiful straight coat and no stress. He enjoys working in the forest pulling burrows of logs, which is enormous fun for him and others who are around him.

He has a shoulder height of 69 cm and weighs between 56 and 57 kg. Dino has an extremely compatible nature and his strong character is pleasantly felt. He loves children, is attracted to the ducks in the water and enjoys travelling in the car. He is an excellent guard dog and very obedient.

He not only makes public appearances for the Swiss Mountain Dogs of Germany
(SSV e. V.) but also for The Union of Friends Dogs in Backnang. He has qualified for the Team Test.

As his ancestors before him he loves to take part in competitions and again and again he surprises me with his natural explosive effect.

My wish is that Dino and I may have a long and happy life together.
