My first Berner was a male who his first year of life was very very sick.
At 4 mos he suffered from pancreatitis, parvo, had exploratory surgery,
followed by kennel cough and pneumonia and generalized demodetic mange.
By the time he was a year old he was just starting to shine as far as his
health
this is a really interesting topic. i have a question--does anyone out there have an
"intact" male or female for reasons OTHER than to show or breed because i would be
really interested in knowing other reasons there could be for not doing it since so
many other (health or otherwise) problems s
