Ch. Zanzebern Nordic Storm was the foundation dog and inspiration for Bernation Kennels to strive to produce the soundest dogs in Australasia. 

In the show ring, Storm received multiple Best in Age Group Awards and Best of Breed Awards including the Canberra Royal, and was judged by Dr Malcolm Willis in 1999 at the Sunbury Championship Show and graded as excellent.

In the breeding program, Storm consistently produced some of the soundest dogs and bitches in Australia.  This has continued through his lines and is present in Bernation Oso Ready and Bernation Dream Weaver who has the perfect score of 0/0 Hips and 0/0 Elbows. 

Passing away in 2003, he is buried on the property and leaves big shoes to fill. 

He is dearly missed in the Bernation household.
