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?
Zerno Bavarian Mountain Hounds is a family run kennel situated in South West Scotland. Our working and breeding stock has been imported directly from Poland. 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. We have both been involved in field sports and in particular deer management for over twenty five years.
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 is a committee member of the South West Scotland branch of the British Deer Society and a member of BASC.
