Haven't seen any brags on the L for awhile, and I haven't bought any raffle
tickets yet. Not that I need an excuse to buy raffle tickets from Joye.
One of our local obedience trials (Did I say local?? It is 210 miles away
and in another state) offered non-regular classes so we put together a te
Wylie doesn't bother with socks or shoes, but does take stuffed toys out
every time he goes outside. He often will collect as many as he can cram in his
mouth, maybe 3 fairly large toys. If he drops one he works diligently to pick
it up before he will go outside. He carries them to the back y
Big hugs to the birthday pups! I get to take care of Winslow every once in
awhile and he's a sweetie. He is still taking road trips and travels like a
trooper. He's been out camping with his people this summer and moves pretty
well for a 12 year old.
You all are so lucky to have these dogs in
OK, I'll bite on this one. This entry comes from my darling Raven's
performance in Utility B at the Long Beach Specialty.
I really don't think it was totally her fault, there must have been some
dognip sprinkled in that obedience ring.
We were doing articles. Raven watched disinterestedly while
Both my live Berners are certified Delta Pet Partners, but I learned that my
huge stuffed Costco Berner is a therapy dog as well.
One of my co-workers had an elderly mixed-breed dog that was her daughter's
best buddy. Daughter Amy was 14 and the dog must have been 13 1/2 because Amy
had always
Robin, thanks for reminding us all to check out the Specialty pics. When you
can't be there it is nice to look at photos from Sieger, obedience and draft
as well as the conformation pics.
Thanks again,

I am sad to announce that one of our Berner friends is moving from West to
East: Salt Lake City to Pittsburgh! We are sad to see Watson and his human
family Bridget and Chris leave their Berner community here, and hope they will be
warmly welcomed by the Pittsburgh area Berner community.

Here's another perspective: I always try to educate people about the breed
if they ask, but why is it so terrible if they think your dog is a mixed breed?
Maybe they won't want one!
In my experience, most people's comments and questions about the dogs are not
said with malicious intent. P
Hi Beverly, is your car a wagon or sedan? I have a 15 year old Toyota
all-trac wagon, which I think is a little smaller than a Legacy wagon. As someone
else said, it is a permanent 2-seater but my two--and sometimes their Berner
friends--ride very comfortably in the back.
I drove this car from
Joye, put me down for $60 and split the tickets between the two paintings.
Thank you for these reminders on the L--sometimes I forget and I know this
raffle won't be running too much longer!

By the way, could the raffle in Long Beach use one of those Sam's club Berner

Kenny, good for you for wanting to do pet therapy with your future Berner!
How to start:
First, when you contact breeders tell them what you plan to do with the dog.
They can better select for temperament by choosing a puppy who is very
people-oriented.
Second, when you get the pup make sure you
Congratulations, Vilma and crew--and thanks for posting! I always look to
see if HIT is posted along with results from the breed ring. Being in a
run-off against yourself would feel pretty weird!

Congratulations on your first ever obedience title, and especially for doing
it in such style! There is nothing quite like that very first title and the
special feeling you get from working together as a team. Keep up the good
work!

This has been several years ago, but my first Berner, Rosie, was asked by her
vet to be a blood donor and she donated on a couple of occasions. Rosie was
about 75#, which was sizeable enough to be of value as a donor without
compromising her health. I would have no problem agreeing to one of m
I have a large young male Berner with an elbow problem and yesterday I took
him in for a recheck and ideas on medical management for the problem. His
movement is a bit odd aside from his limp, so we decided it would be good to
re-Xray the elbow and get a shoulder film as well just to make sure

Pat, when I was a kid the expression Sitting on the Throne meant one thing--I
hope yours is different!

If your Berner is genuinely interested in meeting new people, and adapts well
to situations that may be out of the ordinary, therapy work can be very
rewarding. I take Raven to work with me one day a week and she visits on the
inpatient mental health unit. Often these folks cannot have dogs be
Training for draft work and draft tests certainly has paid off in Raven's
therapy work. Today she hauled the cookie delivery wagon around the Salt
Lake VA Hospital, continuing a tradition for my department.
Our therapy staff brought in cookies and other goodies and made up plates for
the variou
Like others who posted, I don't know much about retinal detachment in dogs but can
offer a perspective on the condition in humans. I suspected a detached retina in my
right eye and insisted the eye doctor see me that day. Have you ever been to the
movies where the film overheated and you coul
Hi, I think Mary-Ann Sontag-Bowman just posted about this ad.
I talked to the person for quite awhile. The GOOD news is that he said he is
taking the entire litter for early spay/neuter this Monday. He has one dog
placed locally, still has 7 pups available.
The parents have no clearances. Peri
Hi, I thought you all might enjoy this poem. I don't know who wrote it so I
can't give credit--sorry! I take Raven to work every Tuesday and she does
her magic on the inpatient mental health unit. One of the interns looks for
her every Tuesday and gave me a copy of this today, along with his
