RE: Head fill-out
>>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!

RE: Head fill-out
Judging by my 14 mo old's youthful exuberance; I'd say the fill in may take the longest! -Original Message- From: Burlile\MemoriesBMDs [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 05, 2003 2:48 PM To: Bob Husted; Berner-L Subject: Re: Head fill-out >Sure it varies considerably, but can anyone give me an estimate of >when >a male Berner's head fully fills out? 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 :) Tailwags, Cathy Burlile Memories BMDs Springfield, TN
