My
very first St.Bernard was a longhaired
female, born in Norway.
Her name was Apalåsen’s Zita.
She was sired by, the very famous Swedish
born male, Ch Zazza’s Bernhard.
The mother was Ch Tanja.
Zazza’s Bernhard was owned By
Ingrid Alphof’s, Alphof’s kennel in Sweden.

coming into Norway in the years of 1970, beginning of 1980, did
come from Alphof’s
kennel.

dog was owned by

Ch
King Von Liebegg was an import from Switzerland
to Alphof’s kennel in Sweden.

was Elisabeth Aasegaard.
She was the owner of the very famous Ch Snobben, a son out of
Ch Milan V Liebiwil, another Swiss imported dog to Sweden. Snobben
was also a fantastic show dog.
