Luka has passed all the recommended breed-specific health testing, as well as additional health testing. Luka is Canine Health Information Centre (CHIC) certified with the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA).
Luka is registered with the Canadian Kennel Club (CKC) and the American Kennel Club (AKC).

Coast Mountain Entlebuchers’ “A” litter arrived on February 28, 2026! We’re incredibly proud of this special group—Mom Luka lives in British Columbia and Dad Koda in Alberta. In honour of that connection, the puppies’ temporary names celebrate places from both provinces: Chase, Hope, Jasper, Fernie, and Yoho.

&
Orcan II from Balihara Ranch (Koda)
Koda hails from Europe, and his owners describe him as "a wondrous blend of intelligence and vitality. Sleek and energetic, he runs with incredible speed and stamina and balances that power with his joyful, affectionate nature. Whether engaging in a game of fetch, water play, or scent work, he tackles every task with utmost focus and gusto. Friendly with other dogs, Koda is adventurous, enthusiastic, and in his element when out hiking. As a true thinker with sharp perception, he is highly attuned to every situation, and his acute senses keep him vigilant over our property. Ultimately, he is a loyal and devoted family member who is most content when cuddling us."
His conformation, temperament and solid health test results make him an ideal sire.
About the breed
Entlebuchers are the smallest of the Swiss Mountain Dogs. . .
. . .but don't let their smaller size fool you! "Entles" are strong and active dogs, originally bred to drive cattle in the Swiss Alps. Highly intelligent, loyal, and devoted, they are known as the "smiling dogs." They are happiest when they have a job to do alongside their people. This high-energy breed requires daily physical and mental activity (such as hiking, agility, or playtime) to thrive. They closely bond to their families and are very content to snuggle after a good workout. They can be aloof with strangers. Due to their strong attachment to their family, they should not be left alone for long periods of time.
For more information about the breed, please check out the National Entlebucher Mountain Dog Association (NEMDA) website.
