Pet shop Berner
My husband Gary and I were in St Louis this weekend. We went to the local mall and walked passed the Pass Pet pet store. Guess what was in one of the windows, one of those Burnese Mountain Dogs. Gary collected all his courage and went in to get some information. Here is what he was told: According to the store manager: It's a female, 3 months old. The Burnie a slow growing breed not reaching full size until about 2 yrs old. It's the one of the smaller breeds of the Mastiff family. Good watch dog. No health issues except sometimes (but rarely) hip problems. They have a 1 year health guarantee but any health issue have to be confirmed by their vet (maybe the same drunken idiot that is the official vet at the auctions). And for only 30 bucks I could buy an extended warranty. And the best thing is it was on sale at a mere $2250 marked down from $3175 Heck of a deal. The papers from the breeder (reluctantly shown to me) were hand written (noted the spelling Burnese Mountain Dogas was the sign in the window). No sire or dam info listed. The dog is registered through APRI (because AKC to just too darned expensive and APRI is much better anyway). The kennel is Happy Hollow Pets in Williamsville Missouri (southeast Missouri). This Pass Pet store buys most of it's puppies from this breeder and they had lots of different breeds at this store. It is the first time they tried a Burnie according to the store manager.

Re: Female Incontinence
As a DES daughter, I have lived the nightmare from the effects it has had on me. I can not imagine giving my dog any drug that might be linked to DES in any form. I'm sure some would say it may affect humans differently than animals but I'm not willing to take that chance. I can also understand why people sue the drug companies over this, which I would love to do, but my records mysteriously disappeared.

She occassionally will piddle when I scold her or if I want to groom her or even when I give her a belly rub. I checked with my vet and she does not have a UTI or any other illness. We discussed age/spay related incontenence and she prescribed Proin. My understanding that this is the same product (formerly names DES I believe)that was given to pregnant women years ago and whose daughters developed cancer. I hesitate to give my girl anything that has been proven to cause cancer. I would love to hear from anyone with any information on this product. I would rather deal with piddles than the fear of giving a cancer causing drug to my sweet Batty. Shelley Gonzales Bigfork, MT
Re: Berner Sighting!!
Yes indeed that is a Berner butt. We have seen that commercial for a few weeks now. We taped it so we could watch in slow-motion. So watch closely...there is nothing like a good Berner butt!! Gary Penny Turner and Archie (the best Berner butt there is!!!)
