> We have the absolute sweetest little Berner - her name is Ouisie and she turned 7 months on Saturday. She currently weighs around 42 lbs. and people often ask if she is a "Mini-Bernese!" She is our baby and we have no intention to show her - but, I'm just wondering if anyone thinks that she may be abnormally small. We could care less how big she gets, but it occured to me the other day that I should probably make sure there isn't a medical reason for her petite frame. If anyone has any input, we'd welcome it.
Misha, If Ousie is in good flesh and health, the weight you mention indicates to me she may be a small girl when grown. I have had a couple of Berner girls who never hit 70 pounds when full grown. I think Ouisie may be very much like them. One died a few years back at age 8 and the other is still with me. Ruth Reynolds Pioneer Bernese www.jersey.net/~mountaindog/rar
