I have a big Berner girl, her name is "Maddie". I had Maddie pre-limed hips and elbows at 20 months old. Because at that time she weighed 116 lbs. I was worried about her joints. The pre-lims were excellent and clear. Maddie has continued to grow, and fill out, she is a beautiful girl we affectionately call "Maddie-Moose" because all my other Berner girls have been about 90 lbs. average. Maddie is now 129.8 lbs. I just did her x-rays again, Maddie is over 3 years old. DR. Keller at OFA advised me that Maddie is OFA Excellent - hips, OFA clear - elbows!!! So, Pat for my brag money. When Maddie has a litter I will donate $20.00 per puppy to whichever Berner charity you choose.
