woofit pants a lot. he pants when he is hot, nervous, excited. he sometimes pants like he has a breathing problem. my mother once called him heavy breather! chi on the other had does not pant as much. if i stroke woofit gently and take deep breaths it relaxes him and he stops panting. andrea, woofit and chi

Dear Listers, Just wanted to extend a warm thank you for all the input I have received concerning my question about "pinch" collars. I have tried to respond to as many as I could personally, but if I missed anyone please accept my apologies. Your information, links, and insight are so appreciated, as always. Now I have another question. Do any of your beloved Berners constantly pant. I have been kind of concerned over Stevie's constant panting. He pants whether it is cool or not, whether he is being exercised or not. It is almost all the time. I have asked the vet about it, but she doesn't think that it is anything to worry about. But of course I WORRY about my gentle giant and just need some reassurance. Maybe I need to get a second opinion, or maybe I am just being paranoid!! Any thoughts or input would be appreciated, Again!! Big Berner Hugs and Kisses Karen and Stevie NB,Canada --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
