Odd Request
My friend in England would like to get a collar for her lovely big Berner boy that looks like jewels around it. Does anyone have any ideas. You can contact me privately if you like. Thank you. Coral.

Re: Request for Input - BMDCA Info Sheet Re: Understanding Pedigrees
reposted in plain text for Robin. Read up people, I know you have questions and input about this one - I'll dig up some of the old digest posts about the registry information that some of you have done, anything else you've posted that you think might help, let me know and I'll try to find it to give to Robin! Pat - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello Everyone, As I shared in an earlier post today about the BMDCA Info Series, work is underway to prepare an Info Sheet on the topic of understanding and putting information to work gleaned from pedigrees when researching breeders and selecting puppies. Please remember the audience for this public information series -- those considering the breed and/or new to the breed. What would be really helpful to the volunteers working on this project is to hear from those new to purebred dogs and/or new to the breed. Specifically, we'd really appreciate understanding what you didn't know back then and what you have found insightful since that time regarding pedigrees and related topics. And, BMD breeders, we need your help as well. Please reflect on your novice puppy buyers re: their knowledge or lack thereof in terms of pedigrees and offer any insights than you can. Writing this Info Sheet is proving to be harder than it sounds. And we really want to be helpful to the target audience. Please be advised that I plan to share your input with the team working on this unless I am advised that I may not forward the thoughts shared. Many thanks in advance.

Fwd: Request for assistance - Pawprints
We're well into the festive season and only now am I doing some greeting cards (they'll be handed to family members tomorrow). One such card is To Gramma ... from my BMD Jake. Any ideas on how to safely get his pawprint onto the card? I suspect those ink pads from Staples are indelible, and food colouring probably isn't a better option. I could always just wet his paw and stamp the card, then outline it and fill it in myself, but it's just not the same. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Happy holidays to all!
