My name is Michael von Adhem.
I come from a line of beautiful Entlebuchers and my breeder said that I was "the pick of the litter."  Who knows what she meant by that, because I just wasn't right from the start.  Then my owner found the cause of me acting strange and having fits almost every day: I was born with bilateral medial luxating patellas, a genetic defect that caused my knees to dislocate and be very painful all the time.  I just couldn't help myself.

This website tells my story and provides information about what I have had to go through to heal and and to be able to live a happy, painfree life.  Fortunately, my owner loves me very much and have had the understanding, patience and dedication it takes to repair and heal me.

You will also find information about the Entlebucher Sennenhund breed in general and links to other Entlebucher websites.

Since my owner is a very famous Dog Behaviorist/Dog Psychologist who has written hundreds of published articles in both the U.S. and in Europe about dog behaviors, dog psychology and training a selection of her articles are posted here for you to read and learn from.  Enjoy!
