Well, the vet just called me. She said she didn¹t see anything obvious. No
tumors, no blockages, no real reason for the nasal discharge. She thought
the lining of his sinuses looked inflamed, and took a biopsy, to be sure.

To all my dear friends,
Tonight I had to rush my dear Beau (the Magnificent Bernese Mountain Dog) to
the emergency animal hospital ... His breathing was so labored, he groaned
with every quick and shallow breath. This came on so sudden. All week he¹s
had a little cough, I took him to the vet on Tu
What I like about the Swedish system ... Is that it's not JUST based on
the dog and bitch's actual scores ... But on what they THROW!! Of
course, I'm sure that in Sweden you have the same problem we have in the
US ... People xraying and not sending the results in ... Or pet owners
simply not xrayin
HOOORAY!!! This is such GREAT NEWS!! I was wondering how long they were
going to take!!! I had seen months ago that they opened it for military
families only. Imagine what that can mean!!?? Not only can people now
take their dogs to CRUFTS ... But it opens doors for breeding, heck,
even vacations!!

I've just learned about a dog show that will be held next year near
Niagara Falls. It's a Molosser dog show, not an AKC show, nor an FCI

judges, all entries will receive written critiques. It seems to be a
just for fun type show
Pardon my ignorance ... Bu, What does BISS mean? I'm guessing it relates
to some sort of Champion-like title.

So, where can I find photos of red berners?? I'm searching now ... But
if anyone would like to send me pictures of theirs .. I'd love to see

Cheryl, I'm not sure why you don't want anesthetic ... but keep in mind. If

Hi all,
For those of you who remember early last week I was asking for you
My question is .. knowing (now, I'm new to the breed) that blue eyes are a
disqualification; and knowing that with the AKC and CKC a dog can be
distinguished as pet only, thus litters from it could not be registered ---
What (type of) breeder would sell said pup with papers stating otherwise??
HHAHA!! I just saw that commercial and wondered ...As I don't have my Berner
yet (Looks like the litter will be due March... sigh, more waiting) .. do
Berners have brown markings on the underside of their tail?? I thought I saw
that much ...
