Trisha, I'm sorry to hear about the story of your friends. This is the
situation those of us who are aggressively involved in public education
are trying to eliminate. I talked with over 300 PPO's last year, sent
out over 250 educational packets, and know the breeders on our breeder
referral
Good morning everyone on the Berner-L
Today is my first birthday and I am very excited. However, now that I think about it,
I'm always very excited! Standing next to the bed and waiting for Mom and Dad to stir

I'd second Angela and seriously consider
Berners have been a part of my family for twenty years.
I would say, and this is but a general statement, that the biggest change in
the breed, perhaps, is that the breeding, buying, and selling of Bernese has
become big business more so than the breed can handle and afford rather than

If its any consolation I doubt there is a breeder in existance that hasn't
born the brunt of malicious gossip at some time.

While the Gentle Leader has some good applications it is not my first
choice with baby puppies. A flat buckle collar or nylon martingale collar
is best. Enrol in puppy kindergarten where they will demonstrate to you how

Cindy,
Try hard sterilized hollow bones and Kong toys. These are meant to be
stuffed to make them more interesting for the dogs. Stuff them full of
peanut butter, squeeze cheese, leftover fat from your dinner meat, even
bannana if your dog likes these. Then mix in some of his regular kibble

Is anyone familiar with a really good boarding facility in the Portland,

Hi Stephanie and all,
This is an interesting topic. Years ago, we took one of our dogs to a
veterinary college to be examined by a vet-neurologist because he was
limping and our local vet suspected a nerve problem. The neurologist asked
to x-ray the dog's knees and when we were surprised,
Dearest Pat,
No, no, no. You are t kind. Please, I will pick up the paintings
personally, thus saving you postage PLUS I always travel with a nice
Cabernet. Please, let me do this. You have already done SO much for the
breed.

Hi all,
I was just filling out my membership application for the Bernese Mountain
Dog Club of Canada, and I noticed that 2 signatures of BMDCC Members in Good
Standing are required for submission.
I sort of live in an isolated area away from most Berner breeders so I was
wondering if this is a

Well, I got the two paintings today from The Netherlands, safe and
sound. But in order to give more to Berners, I'm making a selfless
offer. I think I should win them both, that way I won't have to pay to
ship them anywhere - or more money for Berners!
Now, Patricia and Maria! You two women must not take possession, even
if it is in your vivid imaginations, of the two beautiful paintings that
Willem has done for our BARC LOC Challenge Fundraiser. There happen to be
many people on the Berner-l who are salivating over these paintings
