re: OFA Xrays - benefit to PO?

based on your ofa results, you may decide that you do or don't want to do certain activities with your dog. for example, i show my dogs in obedience do draft work with them. i won't jump a dog with elbow dysplasia ( i will limit, as much as i can, the dog's chances to decide to jump something) i

Re: Backing up in a cart-long part 4

I didn't mean to turn this into a treatise but I've been having side bar discussions with a couple people who keep adding on with fitting questions and I thought that the answers might be beneficial to the community at large. Please think of this as a shoe fitting. Each dog, its gait and the

harness adjustment

Nope, no problem with her rear legs hitting the tree--plenty of room there--and her traces are adjusted so that the tree is flying; also her loops are consistently in front of the brakes as they should be so no problems going down hill. Her length seems to fit the cart length. Thanks--Christy

Insect Repellent??

My two boys, Porter (13 mo old BMD) and Kief (7 mo old GSD) are being bit by what I think are mosquitoes. Porter seems to be getting them around his eyes Kief is showing alot in the groin area. These are the ones that are noticeable, but there may be more. The bites don't seem to bother the

Our World-Renowned Therapy Dog, Moritz (and his biped, Barry)

I just received this invitation from Barry Schieber, who is owned by the now-famous Moritz the Therapy Dog, of Nose-to-Nose fame. It's just delightful to read about how Moritz and Barry have been embraced by the Berner community as their fame spreads. Enjoy! Vicky Whitney in Bozeman, Montana

Re: keeping cool

We have the extra large size for my big boy Porter. He LOVES it! He drags it around the house with him!! However, make sure you buy a waterbed patch kit as they can put holes in it very easily - it's non-toxic(the dogs like to use it as a wrestling mat the dragging doesn't help either!!) ---

Moses, people magnet

I am struck by how many people are immediately drawn to Moses during our walks. I take the dogs on errands with me, weather permitting, and walk them on leash around the area stores, post office, etc. Moses is, within seconds it seems, surrounded by a crowd and he shakes hands with his fans

Another gifted artist - do take a look!

I've seen some of this artwork before, but wanted to share it all. Michael Jurogue Johnson is a very gifted artist, and his style is just such joy! Do take a look at the website and see how many Bernese Mountain Dogs he's snuck into his artwork. Frankly, I think he needs to focus on Bernese

How appropriate that I read in a recent message from Pat Long that Sandy Novocin is collecting information about symptoms that we see in Bernese that seem to suffer from something similar to Multiple Sclerosis in humans. She wants to provide information to a neurologist that is interested in
