I have read with interest the notes concerning blow drying our furry
friends. I have found over the years that if I do not dry them thoroughly I
end up with all sorts of skin infections. One was a dermtitus which spread
all over the body. My poor dog was miserable. In our area there have popped

A friend of Marilyn Steele has a Saint Bernard diagnosed with
pancreatitis -- the dog is down to 100 lbs. which you can imagine is
pretty slim for a Saint... Their vet has them feeding the dog 6 cups
of Science Diet's W-D a day and NOTHING ELSE. The dog is hungry all
the time. So they're
This morning, my sweet and beautiful Tatters crossed the bridge after a brief struggle
with lymphosarcoma.
Tatters was not only the first Berner I ever had the privilege of sharing my life
with, she was my first ever dog. I could not have asked for better - she was my soul
mate, retaining her
Another way to push for relinquishment of ownership is to play hardball
and refuse to hand the dog over until all of the incurred expenses have
been repaid. The cost for shots and license or any other medical
expenses, plus boarding costs is usually enough to deter an owner who
doesn't really
Hi Julene,
If you have the large prong collar then there should be no problem with
ring around the collar hair loss. The collar is only worn for walks and
training and not general use. The reason the leash is fastened to the right
side of the neck is because we heel with the dog on our left and if
Hi,
Like it or not prong collars are going to be used by some people for one
reason or another and I strongly doubt it's a deliberate attempt to cause
pain to the dog. Any tool, even buckle collars, can be abusive if used
incorrectly. I myself train my dogs very much in the pyschological way and
Does anyone have news of the Ohio specialty yesterday - please send!

Has anyone had experience with the Berner Turbo Bump ?
Whenever we give Gertie free time in the yard, she has this habit of
running up from behind us and, at full tilt , throwing a 95 pound, glancing
body block against the back of our legs. A month ago, she actually knocked
my knee out of joint

Hi Kathleen,
Some boys are wimpy after neutering and maybe experience some soreness.
While providing him with TLC don't baby him too much, let him rest in quiet
and take him for a little leash walk in the garden a few times so he
doesn't stiffen up. He may or may not swell a little and if needs be
Hi Sherry,
Do discuss with your oncologist about supplements and immune boosters. Some
cancer types thrive on the extras! Prednisone is a drug oftened used to
slow down and shrink cancers, mast cell included, and this is a drug that
moderates the immune system because again the cellular growth we
Hi Natalie,
A bath this time of year will loosen the undercoat and cause matts in the
fur. With the accompanying dampness this sets up the right environment for
hot spots. Before bathing the dog should be combed out thoroughly and even
then matting can occur. Always best to blow dry and use a
Natalie.
This happened to my berner-boy, Ian, once when I had him groomed at a grooming
facility. They neglected to brush out his bib area and I spent a few days getting all
the mats out.
Since then, Ian is brushed well, and all mats gotten out before he is bathed.
To help you get the mats
I use a prong collar on my 130# berner-boy, Ian if we are going places that he might
lunge or pull my arm off! g Normally he is good on a round leather collar and will
stay by my side.
I feel it is better than choking him on a choke collar which can do damage to his
throat area. He behaves

Hi, To any berner owner who is reading this list and is currently
attending the dog show in Calgary this week: I had to leave the Calgary
Show early on account of illness and left a blue canvas chair by one of
the rings. If anyone attending the show is also planning to attend the

Got back from a herding clinic, 3 days, in rural New York state today. The
instructor is very experienced with the style of herding done by the Swiss
breeds. There were Bernese there, some participating. I took copious notes
and about 200 photos. A couple of Entles participated as well. My
I am wondering if this, dog killing, is a common happening down in
Virginia and West Virginia.
Hi Sara at al,
First of all I will say what happened to Elliott is a tragedy and if he had
been my neighbor and killer of my dog, I might have let him feel a little
of the shot himself...

Possible causes:

Is your dog in the midst of blowing coat?
Good idea to get all loose hair out prior to bathing. and keep rinsing
until the water runs clear of hair debris and soap suds...
Did you rinse ALL the soap out?
Did you use a HIGH QUALITY
Hi Mike,
Some years ago I refused to sell a very nice lady a Berner puppy because
she lived with her mother who had advanced osteoporosis, my fear was that
