Announcement re the Club’s Champions Book, Volume VI

Committee member Debbie Buck is completing preparation for the next edition of the Champions Book. This will include all Champions who gained their UK title between 2016 and the end of 2024.

We aim to have it available for sale from Crufts in March 2025, subject to timely responses from contributors.

Your committee appreciate these are not cheap publications (the price is likely to be £10 each) and we understand the price might reduce interest. The cost of producing such a high quality publication without a definite market means we have to assess the future of this publication based on response and support. So, Volume VI (2017 -24) might just be the last edition in the A4 glossy book format as in the future we may have to review different options for featuring our Champions.

If you are the owner/s of a UK Champion made up between 2016 and end of 2024 you should have received an email from the team producing the book (from championsbook@bernese.co.uk) asking you to:

  • send a photo of the dog in question, in a show pose and preferably without a handler in the photo; and
  • to complete a template detailing owner, breeder name/s, health test results (hips & elbows only), 5 generation pedigree, date of UK title and the dates and shows of all CCs/BoBs awarded.

Any queries use the link to contact Debbie by email.

If you would like copies of previous editions of the Champions Book, Volumes I, III, IV & V are available from the Secretary at £10 a copy (secretary@bernese.co.uk). Sadly, we no longer have any stock of Volume II.
