Hi Everybody!
Could anyone help dealing with a tripping Bernie?
I have a 4 year old Berner. He is my first dog, but I'm his second owner.
He has a bad habit of taking trips on his own. The former owners had a
little care for him, so when he was bored, he were gone for days throughout

Hi Maureen,
It is not so much the strength of a Flexi as the strength of your arm. Buddy
is 115 pounds too. When he lunges to chase a deer, I've found it best to
drop the lead or suffer (and I do mean suffer) the consequences. Thankfully
he merely chases the deer off his turf. I have also

I have done early spays on 13 litters, all berners. I have not had the
unfortunate to have any of them require ACL surgery. But, a question I
always ask when there is an ACL issue is whether the lines have had a
tendency toward this and is the conformation such that the dogs are a

did you want one as a family companion, or did you also want to do obedience

I always used a Flexi with Riot, and didn't have any problem. On the odd
occasion he would race after something, I'd call to him to stop - call very
quickly! You can also (kind of) push on the button on the Flexi to kind of
slow it down a bit (creates a bit of a drag on the line). It's very

I find the webbed version, despite price, much nicer not only in resistance
but also in case it ever gets tangled around yr legs or other dog´s legs. My
Mali has a webbed flexi and a lab I used to walk had the cord and it hurt
incredibly any time it got tangled!

Lindsay,
Congrats on your new boy!!! I got Smokey a short 8
months ago and I know how exciting it is. I am a
graduate student so I do most of my work from home. I
was worried that Smokey would be really upset and
noisy when I left and since i live in a duplex, I was
worried about our neighbor.
Does anyone know of a good vet in the Los Altos area of Northern California
who will do OFA X-rays without anesthesia?
Thanks

Does anyone have the URL for the information on early spay/neuter study that
was do at one of the Vet schools, maybe Purdue or Pittsburgh.
I'm trying to convince a PPO that there puppy would not be a midget if they
end up getting one from us. :-)

Sorry Gang I had the wrong day. Kathleen emailed
me, along with several others, that the walk is set
for Saturday. Please accept my apologies. I wrote it
on the calendar, long, long ago. :(
Hope this didn't cause too much confusion.

When I was vaccinating my litter a year ago I called Jean Dodds at Hemopet to find
out the best way to vaccinate them without over doing it. She suggested just parvo
and distemper then rabies as close to 6 months as possible depending on the law.
The puppies got a round of shots at 7.5 weeks

Maureen,
I use a 10 yr. old Blue Flexi leash. It has always
been able to hold a Berner (we are on our 3rd BMD, 2
rehomes and an SPCA rescue). The first BMD worked that
leash for all it was worth - in out, in out. The
2nd was the best dog I ever walked on leash (former
owner sent him to
