>>Sure it varies considerably, but can anyone give me
an estimate of when a male Berner's head fully fills
out?

Generally, the brains arrive by UPS around two years
old. Until then, that head can be pretty cavernous. In
the interim, the head generally grows large enough to
support the brains that are on back order, as well as
enough to stuff the packing material the brains are
shipped in.

Usually around 14-20 months, the head takes final
shape, but the first spurt usually starts around 9-10
months. 

However, we are still waiting for Panda's brains and
head to fill out. At 6 1/2 years, his head is still
incredibly feminine, so much so that 20 year vets in
the breed think he's a girl!

Judging by my 14 mo old's youthful exuberance; I'd say the fill in may
take the longest!

Well, Bob, it does vary considerably.  Picture a 13 yo boy and a 30 yo
man
... and a 60 yo man.  The 30 yo man is "filled out," but keeps changing
throughout his lifetime.   So a Berner boy's head may be filled out by
2.5,
3 .. but will keep changing just like the 60 yo man.
Now, when does a Berner boy's head "fill in" is another story :)
