Book knowledge, information knowledge can't cover the emotions that it all
entails. It takes BOTH learned knowledge and experience, IMHO.
Excellent post Sandy.

Hi Anne
I can only give you our personal experience with OCD with our girl Ari. When
Ari was about 8 mnths she started limping and after X-rays it was determined

pup price will be refunded in full. I

It is hard for me to relate to those who are looking for show quality
puppies and want their money back or want to return the dog if they don't

I think you are looking at this one the wrong way. No one should promise
to finish a dog if they don't want to do it. It's a lot of work and a
lot of expense. Promising to get a CH on a dog if they don't plan to do
it is not good for either the breeder or the owner. It's not a contract

Fox 2 news did a VERY short thing on this story this morning -- I
watched for a Berner -- but didn't see any -- I saw a 1 or 2 week old
tri-colored puppy -- but it had a black nose; don't Berner puppies have
pink noses??
I also sent this email to the morning crew for their whats on your
