It is a pleasure to see Maroussia berners take part in various activities. Dog shows, obedience, agility, rally obedience, tracking, animal-assisted activities – and keeping company on the couch. On this page we have collected pictures and texts about some berners who have been giving joy to their owners in many ways.
This page is not ready, more dogs coming 🙂

FI CH Maroussia Alfaberlina
From the first Maroussia-litter (born 1993) FI CH Maroussia Alfaberlina “Jetta” (A 0/0) stayed home. We get to keep her 13,9 years. Jetta was everything a Berner should be; gentle and self-confident, lived a long and healthy life visiting the vet only for her vaccinations and she was beautiful. Jetta gave birth to 4 litters, easily and without caesarian sections and she was full of life until the very end. Jetta was a dream that will stay in our minds forever and she is also a goal for us, just the kind of Berner we want to breed.

BOB-veteran in shows, Open class I in obedience, Officially character tested
Nelli was the first bernese I have owned, and a dear, true friend!
She competed in obedience with me and was a certified therapy dog, working with disabled people and in elderly homes. She was calm and gentle, and never ever fought with anyone. Despite her calmness, she was eager to chase rabbits, though.
She was also mentally tested in an official Finnish character test and approved. Nelli was a happily stubborn, always trustworthy and most loyal friend I could ever ask. She was very clever in picking up new things and was a joy to work with. She loved to carry her own grocery bag and picked up glasses, cups and gloves etc. from the ground for me. She also got 2 litters, with total of 10 lively puppies. She was a good mom to her own puppies and a great grannie to her grandchildren!Text & pic: Jaana Sarso, pic 1 Miia Toivonen

Maroussia Enya-Edelina – still going strong
Born 28.11.2005, CAC-winner
I have had the honor of owning two lovely bernese mountain dog veterans, Maroussia Halley-Heraldin ”Nelli” (1997- 2008) and Maroussia Enya-Edelina ”Cilla” 11 years. Cilla is so amazing dog, she is always happy and loves to be petted. Cilla has its own way to ”smile” and ”talk” when she get excited. We’re still doing long forest walks and Cilla is almost always walking free. Cilla has been ”Karva-Kaveri” and we have visited nursing homes and child caring institutions to delight the elderly and children. Cilla is so nice and peaceful old lady, so one of a kind dog!
