Hi all,
I need the expertise of experienced BMD owners. Here's my situation. I
am lucky to be owned by a 9 month old male BMD, Henley (neutered).
Usually we live in Syracuse, where I'm at school, but I'm spending the
summer in Seattle with my sister, her husband and three dogs. These

First of all this has nothing to do with you and you sister. This has to do with
dominance issues between the dogs. This sounds like it could be related to food and
treats and could possibly be easily remedied by following some basic maintenance rules
at meal time AND/OR treat times. There

Period.
2) If it is a lot of talk and noise, I step back. If it is a true dogfight,
I break it up.
3) Not every male dog can tolerate other males or new males or young males
in his space--there are no male dog visitors

Cindi,
I forgot the most important part, if you are going to be in this household long term,
I would strongly suggest seeing a qualified animal behavorist for some consultations
-- one who uses POSITVE methods to help you work thru the issues w/ the dogs.

My Berner does have allergies, he sneezes and has a runny nose usually during allergy season. We have given him allergy medicine and it seems to work in the short term to keep his runny nose and sneezing to a minimum.

I'm about to send a puppy to it's new home in a Sherpa bag. The pup was 20
lbs yesterday and we still have 5 days to go before the new owner arrives.
Have any of you had problems getting a pup of this size to fit in a Sherpa?
They are using Delta which doesn't seem to have a weight restriction
Another dog fancier sent this to me and I thought it was pretty cute.
Enjoy!

Dear Dogs,
When I say to move, it means go someplace else, not switch positions with
each other so there are still two dogs in the way.

Hi!
We wil be on vacation in the Old Forge NY area august 17-22. Just wondering if there
are any BMD activities going on? Also wanted to know if there are any good areas to
bring our boy! He's going to be about 20 weeks old when we go there! Im sure he'll
love the cool weather and shade trees!
They seem to change the response they send out to people.

I too, blasted Cabela's and got the same, inane, stupid, pat answer. So I
let them have it again. I think unrelenting protest is the only way.

serious hunting friends that shop at Cabela's and who are actually very caring and

Hello All! Another question to those with more experience than I-

Please don't flame me for asking this. I have only

Excellent question! And I think it's one that a few people have
addressed in their emails to Cabela's. I think the biggest problem some
of us have with the situation is that stores sell to anyone with money.

concerned. A national breed rescue is also being established.

Hi Deborah,
Oh yes you have got a problem:-) Chessies are tough dogs and you and Henley
are the visitors, this is not a long term arrangement so you must honour
the house rules and fit in as best you can. I would not leave my male dog
neutered or otherwise alone in the company of an established
Hi,
I think another approach to Cabelas would be to encourage them to sponsor
field trial events and demonstrations of hunting dogs' skills, to run
information booths about the various types of breeds typically found in
field work and to educate the public as to whether or not these breeds are
