My name is Camilla Berntzen, and I am the person behind My Alter Ego Chihuahuas. I live with my fiancée and Chihuahuas in Fredrikstad where I also work as a Veterinary nurse.

I got my first Chihuahua in 2005, and he started it all. I lived in Hungary at that time, and got to know Kennel Bonaparte, located just outside of Budapest, owned by a veterinarian. June 29th 2005 Bonaparte Kornel, our Gimli, was born. Today he is our mascot, and the main reason why I started Kennel My Alter Ego together with Lena Berg-Jensen.

Breeding has been on my mind for a long time, and having friends that are breeders who support and help me, and Lena to share the kennel with, the dream was set in motion 2008/2009.

I have no desire to breed in large scale, only a few litters a year. We have a limited number of dogs at home, so that we can give them the attention, care and love they need as well as deserve. This means we will have adults and puppies included in our breeding living with other families.

My main goal is to breed Chihuahuas with a good temper that are healthy, beautiful and breedtypical.

Starting My Alter Ego with Lena is a dream come true! My Alter Ego, which means "the other me" is a good description of who we are and what we stand for. We breed two different breeds, but have the same goals and intentions, and believe that our cooperation will benefit both breeds. Thank you Lena! You are truly a good friend


We wanted an international name that was something we could relate to both breeds. For us My Alter Ego represents both Chihuahua and Miniature Pinscher, and what they mean in our lives.

I hope you will enjoy your stay at our site!
