Why Zerno?
Before the Second World War, Zerno (Zerna) was a small town in Poland, it is now in Lithuania. Alison’s father was born there and the Kennel was named in his memory.
Who we are and what do we do?
The Kennel ethos is to strive to breed excellent quality puppies with sound temperament , conformation and working capability. All of our dogs and offspring are registered with the UK Kennel Club and we are part of the accredited breeder scheme. Our dogs are tested for genetic problems, proven in the tracking world and selectively bred for looks, adherence to breed standard and tracking ability.
Zerno Bavarian Mountain Hounds is a family run kennel situated in Cumbria. Our working and breeding stock has been
imported directly from Poland.
We are members of the
Kennel club's accredited breeder scheme.
We have both been involved in field sports and in particular deer management
for over twenty five years.
Mark is currently the deer manager for a large Cumbrian Sporting Estate and our dogs are out working or training every day.
We first encountered Bavarian Mountain Hounds whilst managing Ministry of Defence land in Germany and were quick to realise what a great asset the breed is to both the professional and recreational stalker.
Mark currently runs 'Dogs for Deer' training from our kennels in Cumbria.
