I have been owned by 8-week old Henley for two days now and I have a few of what will no doubt be many questions! 1. In the literature I received from the breeder, it's recommended to not let my berner up and down stairs until he's a year old. There are no stairs in my apartment, but I do have five steps off the front and back porches. Should I be sure to carry him up and down those until I can't pick him up anymore? 2. I would like to teach him how to retrieve. Any suggestions? 3. An acronym question - PPO. I think I used to be a PPO because I was a potential owner? I'm just curious what it means. Am I now a DHBM? Deliriously Happy Berner Mom? :-) Thanks! Deborah and Henley
