Our family is considering a Bernese Mountain Dog as a family pet. All the
information we've come across seems to indicate that this would be a perfect

Dear Mary,
Hello! this is from one of dog-lovers in Japan.
Thank you for your infomation regarding to "Old Dog Vestibular Syndrome".
I read your posting for Bernese Mountain Dog Mailing List and just visited those

you kindly mentioned.
Yes !..., those stories made me remember my late Taro (
with Tom Brokaw (or however the heck he spells his name)! There was a
brief bit at the end about Westminster and who would be the very first
dogs that get shown on the TV but two absolutely lovely Berners
trotting down the hallway! Anyone we know?? Made my heart
pitter-patter!

older) need handlers that don't mind looking like old women or men. If

dogs can get it too.) Everyone should read them as many vets do not
reccognize the symptoms as this disease.
