A Bernese Bonanza in Monterey, CA: Join Alpen Schatz for the 2015 Nationals

 

All over the nation, Berner (lingo for Bernese Mountain Dog) lovers, breeders and enthusiasts are preparing to travel to beautiful Monterey, California for the 2015 National Specialty Bernese Mountain Dog Show.

 

Alpen Schatz will soon be on the road again - but this time with our own Berners, DaVinci and Valentino in tow. We will be heading out West to the largest Bernese gathering in America, where we will have a booth with our Alpine SWISS and GERMAN wares (Collars & Leashes, Cowbells, Stuffies, Clothing, Alpine Hats, Jewelry, Trendy Swiss ALP N ROCK tees and much more).

 

The event takes place from 23-28 March 2015 at the Hyatt Regency in Monterey, California with every sort of event one could imagine for the Berner enthusiast. There will be Sheep Herding, Draft,

(Note, when getting your first Bernese, it is IMPORTANT to get them from a responsible breeder who is dedicated to breeding OUT the nasty health issues that have plagued the Breed for many decades.)  Any questions, EMAIL us - we take pride in helping match responsible families with great Bernese Breeders who are dedicated to maintaining Health and Longevity in the Breed.

QUENTIN TARANTINO: ALPEN SCHATZ STYLE



Alpen Schatzi's Adam and Anneke with DaVinci, Hagen
and Valentino on the film set with the production crew

This winter's filming of Quentin Tarantino's new Western film, "The Hateful Eight", set in Wyoming, but filmed in Telluride, has once again put our sleepy little Colorado resort town on big time Hollywood radar - as well as Alpen Schatz!

 

 

 

 

Quentin films in the old-fashioned method of using REAL film as opposed to digital. In this film he used 70mm film. Using real film gives his productions a more original, richer look and feel - just like playing music on a record album as opposed to a CD.

 

To liven up the filming process, there is a "theme party" luncheon after every 300th reel of film which is shot. Well, one of the last luncheon theme parties that they threw was a SWISS theme!

They asked the Alpen Schatz crew to dress up in our Alpine garb, adorn our pups with Swiss Kegs and Cowbells, and be there to greet the 200 strong film crew and actors and actresses in true SWISS style.

 

Adam and Anneke got to meet Quentin and the whole crew - I was unfortunately on a plane to NYC for the Westminster Dog show, so could not participate in the fun :(

 

Well, Quentin fell in love with our Alpine Franzözin hat and it is reported that he wore his hat for much of the rest of the filming of "The Hateful Eight"!

 

Apparently, Quentin is also a big "toy" buff and walked away with one of our Beer Drinking Singing Marmots!

 

Yodel-eh-hi-HUIIIII!

 

 

 

  

So if you happen to be walking around Hollywood and see a man strolling around wearing a green Alpine hat and holding a beer drinking Marmot...be sure to congratulate him on his upcoming film :)

 

WATCH FOR "The Hateful Eight" TO HIT BOX OFFICES SOMETIME LATER ON THIS YEAR OR NEXT!
