Re: Had Enough
Hi Everyone, I wanted you to know that I've spent the last 2 1/2 days talking with the woman who wrote the post about looking for a berner puppy and her frustrations as such. What I've found is that this person is the direct opposite of what her post implied to many on the list. What prompted me to contact her is that I felt she needed help and education about our breed. Having been in her shoes before with the snobbish way some breeders can come across as, sent me a "cry for help" of sorts. I'm glad I contacted her. She's received MANY replies to her post, with most, just the way she described in her original email, rude! She's forwarded many of those to me. Most eye opening to say the least, the names from these emails to her didn't surprise me however what did is the fact that most of these folks claim to be the biggest supporters of BARC and educating potential puppy owners here on the "L"! Ya, go figure! I understand the puppy mill comment threw alot of us for a loop, and she has since come to understand the "true" meaning of puppy mills. My thanks to BARC's website and Jim for their nice and understanding email to Melissa of such. The very last thing I want to do is cause another outbreak of insulting posts and or useless thread over her email, but do want to point out that when we see posts like this, take the time to be understanding and to find out information about the person on the other end. A simple "Hi, is there anything I can do to help" will get a receptive response as opposed to "SHAME ON YOU" That's the only nice, if you will response she received and about the only one I can actually write here due to language/content. In closing, as a breeder and owner I have no worries over placing one of my puppies with her and her family. Nor have I held back any names of who she should contact for reputable breeders in her immediate area. I hope this helps to smooth over the uproar. Peg..

Where Did You Get Your Dog
Bobbie, thank you for your wonderful insight into what we (all) should do and say to those that gave us our start in the berner world. Bobbie gave my family and I the most wonderful gifts of all. She gave us Branson & Zorro. And, it comes with a story of heart-break, love, friendship and unselfishness. When Branson passed from MH 3 years ago. I received a phone call about a week after his passong from Bobbie. She said that she had a litter of puppies just about ready to go home and she wanted me to come up and pick my choice. I wasn't sure if I was ready for another berner but thought, Ok I'll *just* go and look... So, with that I went to look. After spending a few hours with Bobbie and the puppies, I came home in tears because this wonderful friend of mine, (Bobbie) wanted no money for this new puppy. All Bobbie wanted was to fill my heart with love and laughter again after my incredible heart-break over losing Branson. Bobbie knew how much we loved this boy of hers, she knew the dog show travels and money spent on Branson, most of all, she knew what Branson gave to our life. Our joy, also brought happiness to Bobbie. Please know that nothing could fill the place in my heart reserved just for Branson, however what Bobbie & new baby Zorro did give us is, the bond of friendship, while always there with Bobbie & I, it only solidified that bond and no matter what it will always be, the gratitude I have for Bobbie is immeasurable With this These friends/breeders know how I feel but to continue with my gratitude I want to thank the following for giving me, my story of: "Where Did You Get Your Dog?" Candy Roper: One of my best-friends. She gave us Durra and our start to this wonderful journey with BMD's.. I'm forever indebted to Candy for who I am and what I do today, it is because of you & Dura that I have laughter in my heart and all these friends to share it with Bobbie Hefner: Also my friend & confidant... For Branson and now, Zorro. The advice, friendship, laughter, pain and tears are and will always be, treasured! Ruben & Kim Gaeta: What can I say? The two of you are simply wonderful... No two friends could be closer than Kim & I... For "Cinder" & "Little Raisin/Wee Raisin"... Jeff & Mary Chapdelaine: Here again, what can I say? No one could EVER fill your shoes It's the bond that Mary & I share, nothing and no one could ever take that away. For "Sierra".. Our pink toed, skunk belly, pretty princess ;-) Look out world cause Sierra's on her way out to steal your hearts. April Rifenburg: For being "surrogate mom" to all my berners.. Branse shines through Nitro. Our friendship is priceless!!! Finally, to all the breeders who give their time without hesitation to us berner owners! We wouldn't have or know this unconditional love without you! Big Berner Hugs To All..

Soft Treats
I agree with Marjie with the string cheese. It's a wonderful training treat, keeps well in your pocket or treat pouch, dosent smell up your van like forgotten pieces of liver, (don't ask, haha) and best of all, it's a small snack for yourself on those long hikes, drafting work, parades etc We use them as bait in the show ring. They're perfect, store easily in a sandwich size zip lock bag and most dogs will do back-flips for cheese... :o) Peg.

Does Your Berner Babble? (Talk)
Our Zorro, Swiss Stars Fooln' With Thunder says, plain as day "Mom, Mom, Mom". This is no joke, you have to hear it to believe it. And, if I'm not paying attention to him, he'll sit and babble "mom, mom, mom" until I do pay attention to him or he'll just come up to me, get in my face and say "MOM!"... It beats all I've ever seen or heard from any dog. His timing is always right on, so I believe, this dog knows what he is talking about and saying... ... Plain as day, not kidding... ;-) And, his baby, "Indy" is picking it up too... Peg. Dale & Peg McQueary Thundering Pines Bernese Mtn Dogs Northern California U.S.A.
