They are still greatly missed.... Never forgotten and stay forever in our hearts ♥
After having Bernese Mountain Dogs now for the last 22 years and more we have welcomed many into our lives but have also went through the hardest part of letting them go...
Anyone who have ever had a Bernese will know that they aren't just like any other dog.... They steal your heart from the very first moment. They are beyond loyal and loving friends and companions in life. They are a full member of your family and that is just the way they treat there own owners they give there all to you every single day in every single moment...
Losing a Bernese is like losing a piece of your heart... It hurts... But no matter how much you loved your bernese they will always whisper to you make some extra room to love another one ♥
Here Below you will find the Bernese Mountain Dogs that lived their entire life with us as a member of our tribe and family and for us they stay a member of our family eventhough they have transitioned in heaven they went from a furry animal companion to us to a furry angel animal now.

Dana Van't Pachthof
Our girl Dana was born on a very special day 04-04-2004. And special she was. She was extremely loyal and trustwordhy. She could tell you without a doubt who wasn't deserving of your trust, her six sense was strong because she was always right ;)
She was a fighter in life not in the meaning of real fighting but of her spirit and her drive.
We loved her and still love her tremendously. Like many would know every Bernese is a one of a kind. So treasure it always ♥
Our girl just didn't make it to her 12 birthday....
We lost her very suddenly possible due to a heart attack related to a bronchitis which she was recovering from...
It was devastating to find her in our living room already passed away.... eventhough I just saw her alive 3 hours before.
Her Nickcames were : Pumpkin, Snoesje (Sweety in english), Dana'tje
Dana was a Daughter of C.H. Batch Santy Bazaltin & Beau Van't Pachthof.
Dana received her wings on 11 years and 10 Months Old ♥

Fame Van't Pachthof
Fame was born on 19/11/2006 and she had one thing in coming with my daughter Lesley namely they could celebrate there birthdays together ;)
Fame was a very gentle soft Bernese. Incredible sweet loved everyone.
She was a very sensitive dog that hated when people would start yelling at each other. She was a gentile peaceful sweet dog a really one of a kind. She was very playfull dog when she was young and also in her older ages she played with her toys till the last minute.
Fame suddenly started to develop a little cough... at first they thought it was kennel cough.. but antibiotics didn't work so we went back in for x-rays and that moment it was that time stood still...
They showed us the x-rays showing that she had 2 large masses in her lungs.... Lung Tumors... :(
How can it be even the vet was suprised because other then the cough her coat was shining bright and in absolute amazing condition, her teeth were great, here gums were nicely pink as it should, she was still active, playful and full of energy....
But still the painful verdict was there and now we needed to prepare ourselves that the moment of letting her go would come much closer than we would every expected it to be. To be honest no one can prepare for such a moment it is one of the hardest emotional periods you can go through cherishing every moment that you have with them and also the pain in your heart that the days are counted for...
Fame died at our home on her terms with her loving family and had taking her last breath with all the persons that she loved so much around her.
Fame her nickname was : Fameke
Fame was a daughter of C.H. Baron Van't Pachthof & Bambi Van't Pachthof
Fame received her wings on 8 Years and 6 Months old ♥

Brenda Van't Pachthof
Our girl Brenda came into our world at the age of 12 weeks old. She was a very sweet gentle loving dog.
She was a god mother for many of our other furry animals joining our family. She was the one that made them instantly feel at home. She loved them as if they were her own.
She was an advanced cuddler hehe ;)
She was a very smart girl in dogtrainings. Sadly she never became a mother herself because she was not suited for it. But she made that dream come through by taking care of all the new pups coming into our home.
She was an incredible blessing for us to have ever had such a dog like her. She was so unique in every way. Her character was incredible kind and loving. She was a friend to everyone and also very loyal.
We noticed that our girl was not feeling well. She was always a big fan of eating... so when she was starting to eat less and just didn't had any fun in food we knew we needed to go to the vet straight away. Ultrasound had being made that crushed our hearts...
a couple of different sphere shaped tumors were present in her abdomen. We knew that bernese are known for tumors so they took a sample of it with very difficult effort because they were located so deep.
When the phone ring with the results ......
Our world stood still.... Maligne tumors the nasty version of tumors that a bernese can get.. And you question yourself like why her ? Right..
In less than a month we needed to let her go and took her final nap with the assistance of the vet....
Still deeply missed... We never had a bernese again like her ♥

Vicky Van de Samaika
Vicky was our second Bernese that we welcomed into our family. She was a big Bernese girl for that time.
She loved of sitting onto our couch eventhough at first she wasn't allowed... but yes eventually we gave in hehe.
If someone was sitting on her space on the couch she would stare at them till the moment they would make room for her to enter the couch hehehe.
When she was laying on the couch she loved to lay into the shape of your legs and rest her head on your legs for comfort.
She was a very sweet dog with a little extra spice to it. She would let her hear if she wasn't agreeing to something which we always laughed about.
Vicky started to have issues with eating... We saw that she was not feeling well so we went to the vet.
We saw that one of her lymf nodes were enlarged and swollen. We knew that that wasn't good....
The vet first took some extra blood and a sample to see what was going on if it was just an infection or worse...
I will never forget the moment when the call of the vet came in...
It was my daughters last day of an intern she was following through her school. We needed to go to the store so we said to her that someone could call for my motorcycle that was in the repair.. we wouldn't expect the vet's call that day... but it did.
she picked up the phone and heard the terrible word of cancer the very rapid and destroying kind of type....
The time of her passing came closer almost just a week later after the diagnose she wouldn't eat anything anymore... and we have set her free..
Vicky Her Nicknames were : Vicky'tje, Vickske
Vicky received her wings on 7 years old ♥
Ps: Pictures of her as an adult aren't stored on this computer so when I find them I will add them.

ULaika Von Eeuwig Sneeuwfield
Ulaika was her official name on her pedigree but we always called her Laika.
She was born with a small time breeder who raised them into there own home and family.
She came from a small litter and she became our first bernese.
Me and my daughter would always loved to have a bernese but my husband wasn't found of that idea at first...
that was off course till he met our Laika and from the very small age she came laying down on his feet and the big man was sold hehe ;)
Laika was an adventurese bernese when she was a puppy she loved to destroy the pillows and take them apart...
Luckily she grew out of that behavior into a very loving alfa Bernese.
She was a protector and guarding of our family and our home nothing slipt her attention but at the same time she loved people and other dogs.
She was an alfa Bernese with our other dogs and our other dogs had respect for her leadership qualities.
She was a very loyal and kind bernese.
She became a mother herself from our first litter we have breed. Only one pup came into the world Laika was back then a little over 6 years old.
That pup became Balto From Dream World who have had a nice and long healthy life till his end at the age of almost 11 years old.
Laika did everything she could for her pup to be loved and develop well when he was still at our home.
When Balto was 8 weeks he went to his new home.
Devastation from our side hit us that only 3 weeks after raising her pup and the pup leaving to his new home that she got sick....
She didn't want to eat anything all of a sudden. She had a fever and it was on a weekend we drove to the netherlands to Eersel Vet clinic to let her see a specialist..
Not knowing that she would never come home again...
they took X-rays. And at first they thought that they were not taken the right way because everything was highlighted but no... they took them again same results... She had high fever 41 degrees and she was still standing there waving her tail smiling at you....
It was Maligne and it was spread out... nothing more we could do then to let her go there and then....
Laika Her nicknames were : Laika, Laika'tje
Laika received her wings on the age of 6 years and 5 months old ♥
After such a deep loss we have taking the time to leave breeding for an extended time to digest this massive loss.
Ps: pictures of her as an adult are not located on this computer and when I find them again and will update them.
