Milla is a Mountain of Sweetness

Friday, May 09, 2008

Milla is a pure bred Bernese Mountain Dog who according to her owner Jahn Leonard, "knows everyone on the beach." She is 22 months old, weighs about 105 pounds and while she carries the distinctive tri-color markings of the breed, she has something uncommon about her. She has one blue eye. "It's a recessive gene," Jahn explained,"Not normally something people look for in this breed but it's why we chose her." Jahn and his girlfriend have trained Milla with hand signals and voice commands to perform a few tricks after watching "The Dog Whisperer" on television. Training her was made easier no doubt since Jahn reports that Milla is "really gentle and very sweet."
