My experiences in responding to newspaper ads in our Atlanta paper have
been mixed. My ad read: Bernese Mountain Dog. Looking for puppies?

When I have called the ad department, they want to charge me $208 to run

. The quality of the training at PetSmart needs to be judged
individually by the quality of the individual trainer. Some great, some
terrible. I would sit in on some classes before deciding to enroll your
pup. I would advise this of any trainer.

There are probably other things, but this is what I can think of right

Good luck to your friend, and I hope the puppy makes it.

I had heard only positive things about Revolution, it would be useful
to
hear negative ones (including second- and third-party accounts).

drain does
not actually kill them. The little bu**ers live to suck another day.

alcohol where they soon succumb. I would suggest using Methyl

but as many of us have learned, you can't own just one berner at a time.

I have fostered countless litters of puppies for our local humane
society. Most come to us from less than ideal circumstances. If they
don't have intestinal problems before we get them, they usually do after
a couple of days of being on a different (better) diet. I keep a BIG

I posed this question to Ruth Reynolds several months ago - rhetorically
- and will do the same here. How many of us buy a car the same way
today as we did 20 or even 10 years ago? Information is power. When
Consumer Reports empowered the buying public with information on how to
buy a car,

It appears this whole situation was the culmination of a series of

Trisha, I'm sorry to hear about the story of your friends. This is the

The owner of the dogs for sale is Howard Moore, who may or may not be
some relation to David Moore.
We have not identified who bred the 2 females he has up for sale.
