Puppy Issues

Ok berner experts as a I am a berner in waiting my wife has a concern that hopefully someone can respond to? Her concern is allowable length of time a new puppy can be left at home alone? That is in the event she chooses to go shopping with the girls or perhaps an occasional day trip. I am out of

Pet Therapy

My Breeder

Re: Kenny's choice

Thanks Lisa, Although your information was very negative I apprieciate and need to know both good and bad of berner ownership. You say you paid 30X the purchase price of your berner for his illness? The breeder I met and very much liked gets $1500 per pup. If in fact that is the going rate do

My Berner Opinion

I'm SOLD!!!!!!!!!

Thanks to All for the Great responses!! I think I can deal with the hair (fur) issues? Hopefully the consciensous breeder will help avoid serious health issues? I noticed the poop eating issues in the mailing (YUK-YUK-YUK-YUK) gotta break that habit!!! Cost is an issue as well and hopefully my
