Rose  Tierney (Canada)
Sieger Show Judge

Rose was born and educated in London UK. It was while accompanying her husband on a four-year tour in Copenhagen, Denmark that they met and fell in love with the Bernese Mountain Dog. She considers herself fortunate to have had the opportunity to “apprentice” under Ina Olsen of Tertzo Kennel, one of the top breeders in her homeland. She purchased her first Berner in 1986, her second in 1987 and the following year returned to Canada. In 1989 Ina loaned her a Danish Top Producing Stud dog to start her program. She enjoys working with this breed and the many dedicated people involved. She is committed to producing a dog that can meet the demand of today’s society while maintaining the physical ability to work in his traditional role. She actively shows in conformation and participates in obedience and has recently introduced two of her dogs to draftwork. She has had the benefit of showing in Canada and the United States and under FCI regulations. She has attended two World Shows, in Copenhagen and Berne, Switzerland. She is a member of the BMDCC, BMDCO, CKC and Ottawa Kennel Club and Bytown Dog Obedience Club.
