What did you guys have to do to protect your belongings against your dogs tail? Put them away or display at least 5 feet above ground level :) Decorative items need to weigh, oh, maybe about 50 pounds to stay put on tables :) Table-height tailwags, Cathy, Memories BMDs

Thank you, Rahda, for your comments. My original post was asking for actual conversations, not the why do breeders ask too many questions. Original post: Would someone, anyone, everyone, put into the acutal words ... yeah, like quotes ... what it is breeders are saying, asking, and/ or implying

Pet shops don't do that -- they stroke people looking at their wares. They thank us for repelling otherwise good homes directly into their lair We may have to look at what *we're* doing that causes this behaviour. Would someone, anyone, everyone, put into the acutal words ... yeah, like

Playing devils advocate, just what is so special about a Bernese Mountain Dog? My sisters Golden provided tons of love and affection. What do Berners have that Goldens or other breeds don't have? I have owned a Golden he was a very, very special boo Bear. What do Berners have that my

the kids liked it (they like it less now that he is 70 lbs). We are working on this with him, but like all Goldens, he just has a lot of energy. However, Kona the Berner will just go up to kids and sniff them a little, and then sit down by them and wait to be petted, and if they are willing

Thanks for the link to the Booster Tub, Susan! I have been looking for one of those washer/washing attachments ever since New England Serum stopped carrying them. Warm baths here in the winter months consist of loading up 4 dirty Berners at a time and hauling them to my vet's on the weekend.

Okay, I have a question why is it okay for a rescue organization to chose not to share this info, but not a breeder? I didn't say it was ok, I just stated that it's a fact. Personally, I don't agree with it. I think all known medical and identity information about the dog should

Sure it varies considerably, but can anyone give me an estimate of when a male Berner's head fully fills out? Well, Bob, it does vary considerably. Picture a 13 yo boy and a 30 yo man ... and a 60 yo man. The 30 yo man is filled out, but keeps changing throughout his lifetime. So a Berner
