Hello everybody,
Sitting here in Jeddah watching the war on TV and wishing I was in France with Christl and the pups. Five more days and I will be!
Reading some of thestrings on the list lately has caused me a little concern about people, especially newbies, being led somewhat astray by

I know the standard answer to the raised food bowl issue is to quote
the Purdue study. But can anyone tell me, are there any other known
studies that have either contradicted or confirmed the results at
Purdue? Is Purdue the only known study done, or just the latest, or
the most respected?

Hi Berner-l
My name is Kristin. I live in Ontario, Canada. I have been looking

become a breeder of the Bernese. Can anyone tell me if they will be having

I have to say, I've read the Purdue study and certainly believe the scientific
evidence...I keep trying to theorize as to what the explanation might be regarding how
raised dishes make a difference. This info. might help people give credence to study
results that otherwise don't seem to make

I was wondering, if it's not too painful, how many people on the list, who have had
dogs bloat, fed from a raised bowl?
My three feed from bowls raised about 6 - 9 inches; I started this when a study
concluded raised bowls were *the* answer to bloat. After Perdue's latest findings, I
lowered
Anne wrote "Any guesses as to why the "floor dish" might be safer?"
Here's where we get into anecdotal versus scientific evidence but, with that caveat, Christl tells me (any of you horse people jump in here if you like) that horses that are fed from raised platforms have a higher incidence of
Hi, all, My kuvasz girl Nefi came through her surgery fine yesterday.
Unfortunately, the vet could not remove all of her tumor because it was
wrapped around vital structures, such as nerves. Complete removal
would have meant paralysis. We do not know if she will be incontinent;

Hi All,
A sad day today but a positive ending!
Wee young friend James phoned me this morning to ask if he could bring Mum
and Dad and friend, Henry, over to visit! Henry's Dad is SAS and no doubt
thick in there with the action!
Henry has been very sad the last few months because Dad was away
Dear Members,
Sorry if this in in here twice. I'm just learning about this list.

Hi all,
I need some help here. My crazy Sallie has developed a bad habit of ripping the
shingles off our house and then ripping them to shreds. Our back yard is fenced in,

tried spraying Bitter Apple, but
Hello everyone-
Just wondering about our Berner boy's behavior lately.
Thought with the experience on the list someone might
be able to help ease my mind.
Ringo will be two next month. Usually he's an in

all he wants to do is lay around
Dear Liz,
In answer to your question about bloat, my darling Danny's recently departed
Mika was fed with a raised bowl from the time we rescued her from the hell
hole she was in. We thought that we were doing the right thing, feeding her
in this manner. We had been told by the vet at that time

feeder), there is always someone out there who can make you feel
better...we had a St. Bernard in the late 70's who ate off the floor
and ended up surviving a bloat with surgery...I have had the berners with
