Fw: asking for your help to save my bernese puppy
This is a heartbreaking email that I received last night, the sad reality is that this is what is happening to our breed. The number of Berner puppies in pet shops, x-bred and unregistered litters advertised in the papers is now common when only a few years ago it was unheard of, I fear what the future holds for our breed.

looking for some information
Hi Everyone There is a major problem in BC (Canada) with people advertising X bred and unregistered Bernese puppies in the newspaper, most of them are from the Lower Mainland and Interior of BC. There has been a dozen ads in the last few months, from $450 to $2000, none have done any health testing or clearances and all are giving out false information about their dogs and the breed. Some have had accidental breedings most have done the breeding on purpose, every six months they are back in the paper again. All of these people have one thing in common, their only concern is to make as much money as they can from the sale of the puppies. There was one woman even brokering dogs in BC, I think we have convinced her to stay away from Bernese, time will tell on that one. I do not know where all the dogs are coming from, I do know a few have imported their dogs from Switzerland, (we are trying to get the pedigrees of the dogs and send them to the Swiss club), some have come from Ontario as well as Washington. Please feel free to contact us if you are planning to sell a puppy in our area (Vancouver Island) we are happy to check things out for you. The really scary thing is that in the next while all of the offspring could be out there breeding as well. We have contacted the Canadian National Club, they have put a couple counter ads in the paper but they are not able to put it under pets for sale so I am not sure how much feed back they are getting from the ads. We are going to be running some ads in the paper with an email information contact that will automatically send out information about the breed and why you should buy from a reputable breeder, why you should not buy unregistered puppies. I am looking for some good information and articles to include in the email for education purposes, if anyone has anything you think might help and you don't mind if we use part or all of it please send it to us right away. I don't want to put our email address or phone number in the paper, as it is we get too many calls inquiring about the breed and puppies as it is, this is to help educate people about our breed and what is a responsible breeder only. We are going to keep track of how many emails and inquiries we get from these ads. Look forward to hearing back from anyone with some ideas for us.

Berners being brokered
Hi Everyone There is a women in the Vancouver BC area brokering dogs, right now she has two ads in the Vancouver Sun, one for unregistered Berner puppies $1400 and another one for X bred Berner puppies from $750-$775. She does not breed them but is buying them from somewhere, she also apparently gets other breeds, know seems to know where she is getting them from. She will not give out any information on the parents until 1/2 the cash is deposited in her account up front, even then I don't think you would get the truth. We have contacted her but she is very guarded with information. There is also two other ads in same paper for two other litters of Bernese from $1500-2000. The National club is aware of these ads and had put counter ads in but the paper won't let them put the ad under dogs for sale. I have seen ads from other breed clubs listed under this heading so I don't why the BMDCC is not allowed. What are other clubs doing about these types of problems?? I am not on the board this year but will forward any suggestions to them that you think might help.
