"SO, this debate about "free range berners", combined with my recent experiences (& expenses)has taught me that some berners are probably very happy receiving their exercise on the leash (hello, Zeus), while others seek more freedom of movement."
Antoinette, Good for you! All your HARD work has paid off in peace of mind. Even though he seems to be "unimpressed" with all your efforts you can rest assured that he is safe and sound and can safely run free in his back yard. Also no other dogs can get in to harm him and you'll never have to worry that he could get tangled up on that lead run you had previously. Even with a swivel I've heard of dogs ending up strangled while tied to one of those. So, even if it may seem like you did it all for nothing, you didn't. You have proven in another way that you are a loving and responsible dog owner. : ) Take a bow! Bernerly, Mary Jeff & Mary Chapdelaine SnoBear Berners [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://snobear.freeyellow.com
