I have found that using a fork or spoon to give treats at home and saying
easy or gentle at the same time works wonders - they hate biting down on
the metal utensil and it saves your hands. Usually after 2-3 times, they
are more gentle in taking the food and the easy then transfers over to

Some of the breeders may have a better answer for you, but I have NEVER
seen a Berner drool. If there are some that do, I'm sure it's rare. I've
been around plenty of them and have never seen any indication of
drooling. The ones I've seen have also been pretty neat about drinking.
Julie -- I have been to several Berner events in our area and have seen lots
of different Berners - but not as many as lots of people on this List ;-).
Some Berners DO drool, not as much as Saints, but enough to get you really
gooey! We have been fortunate - we have had 3 BMDs in our home and none

Saw your post. All Berners are different, some drool a lot, others less. You

I've been following this list since last September and see all of the

My Xenta is 8 now; her parents lived to 10 and 13. There is an
