Schaetzend Kennel Reg'd
(German: pronounced 'shot zend" meaning "To Cherish")
Hello! My name is Denise Knight and I got my first berner in 1997. I started this kennel in 2000. I looked for a name that reflected how I felt about my dogs. The word Schaetzend is German and means "To Cherish". I have had many dogs and each one, I hope felt CHERISHED. This is a very special breed of dogs with a love for people beyond mere words. Take a moment to view this site and experience some of the highs and lows of my life with the wonderful Bernese Mountain Dog.
