Our Dogs

Kiesen (key-zen)

Kiesen Konrad Alder von Appenzell FDC ATT BCAT CGC TKN IT THD

There are not enough words to describe Kiesen. He is my ride or die, travel companion, song dog, snow dog, talent dog and therapy dog. He is goofy, loving, playful, obedient, loyal, and handsome. Never have I had a dog packed with so much personality. We refer to Kiesen as our "song dog" because he loves to sing, especially waiting outside the shower for dad. He will sing on his own or upon request. He has even been known to sing with his head out of the sunroof while wearing his snow goggles. But his favorite place to sing, is at Huntsman Cancer Institute and Primary Children's Hospital for the staff, and patients. He exhibits the inherited BMD traits of being mild-mannered, good-natured, committed, and aloof to strangers without being shy, but he is also vocal about protecting our home. Kiesen competes in agility, fast cat and draft. Last year he was listed as one of the top ten fasted Berners in the country. He is currently going through conformation training. We are excited to see where these new adventures take him and us.
