> So, register Nola and go for it!! Thanks Janice for writing all the stuff I was going to! <G> PLEASE, do register your Berner puppy. You might think of it in terms of *why* you chose to buy a purebred. You paid all that money so that you'd have a good idea of what you would get, right? That benefit comes from pedigrees which are maintained in a *registry* so whether you plan to breed or show or not, it's important that your BMD be IN the registry. And, once your pup is registered...enter her in the Berner Garde database (http://www.bernergarde.org/) and update the record throughout her lifetime. For $15 and a couple of minutes to fill out the paperwork, there's no question in my mind... ALL BMDs eligible for registeration with the AKC should be. It's a part of our future. -Sherri Venditti
