sigh. oh Pat. Pat. Pat. Don't you realize how valuable that giant stuffed Costco Berner is to those who own tactless, intact male Berners????? Win that Berner and slap a nice big pink ribbon on "her" -- then watch as your big male approaches "her" -- (I own a Costco Berner). This stuffed Berner is matchless at ignoring your male. He will flip her ears. When no reaction is forthcoming, your male will face her and eye her with confusion. Back to nuzzling and flipping ears. Nope. No reaction. Your male will become more tender ... more ardent ... until that ear is (you may trust me on this) sopping wet. Still no reaction. Your male will whine. No reaction. Bark. No reaction. He will sniff her nether region and give you, his owner, a very confused but hilarious expression. You can practice "LEAVE IT" with that female. You can practice "NO SNIFF" with that female. She will be worth her weight in gold. trust me. Maria Crifasi owned by Daisy and Buddy Catoctin Mountains, Maryland
