2003-04-03 Thread romantimea
Hello All, I have a question regarding the behavior and temperament of berner boys compared to girls. I have had only male berners till now (we tried herding, had obedience trainings, attended show, fun meetings, etc.) but I don't have experiences with girls. Now I hope to add a girl to our

When your dog is lame

2003-04-03 Thread Lisa D Allen

Hi all, After reading the post about Buster, I did a search to make sure that the story was true (it almost seemed too good to be true!) Well, I found it on the BBC web site, and they included another tidbit of information that makes it even more wonderful--- Buster had been chosen for

Hi Jen, Is he related to my Titan?? My young lad tap dances in his crate at three in the morning, his new name is Fred Astaire! Well of course he wakes up the entire household and then everyone wants a pee break. I can't remember when I last had a decent night's sleep and I'm threatening to leave

About check´s as payment. In Sweden nobody use check´s any more - we use card´s or cash. My monthly salary goes directly to the card. I asked the bank for a check to the Raffle, it would cost around 28 US dollar to buy a check at the bank to send to the USA. Margareta Strand Stockholm

What the breeder of my first two Berners told me still rings true. These were both girls. She said that in the Bernese breed, the girls and the boys BOTH make admirable pets. She was correct. The only slight, and I do emphasize slight difference, just perhaps, is that I perceive the boys to
