Thanks for the help
I appreciate all the input you all gave me on drooling and insecurities and behavior of both the BMD and the GP yesterday. I am unsubscribing to the list as the *&@%! breeder decided to sell the pup she was holding for me last night. (I was supposed to go pick him up today.) I frankly can't afford a purebred and was excited about finding the mix. So, I guess I'll go back to my beloved Golden Retrievers and hope that in the future I'll afford a BMD or maybe I'll come across another mix someday. Thank you all again. You're a great group, but my inbox can't handle the e-mail and the saddened heart of the breed I won't be buying right now. I'll look you all up in the future if I ever run across one again and become a BMD mommy. ~Julie Conifer, CO

Drooling Thanks, another ?
WOW! Thanks for the awesome responses already on my drooling questions! Just what I needed to hear. A second thing I've heard that I wonder about is that my friend described the Berner as pretty insecure. She said her neighbor that has one can not ever leave the dog outside. When the owners were out of town the care taker had trouble, the dogs (BMD and Great Pyr) pooped all over the house and the Great Pyr ran away. . We have as I mentioned before a big (98lbs.) male Golden Ret. for whom we are buying a buddy ( We just lost my female Golden to cancer two weeks ago. ) He really misses his buddy. We have a nice size yard in the mountains. (8,600 ft.) My hubby and I both work and are counting on leaving them both outside as we always have with dogs while at work. They are inside most of the time that we are home as they are a part of our family. Do you all know of a tendency for the Berner to be a bit insecure like what my friend described? I just need to know what I am getting myself into here, you know! :-) Your input is very much appreciated! By the way, the dog I am looking into in a cross the bitch is a Great Pyrenees. (just a coincidence with my friend's neighbor-they're not the parents) Thanks Again, Julie [EMAIL PROTECTED]
what age do puppies start drooling?
Hi, I'm new to the list. I am considering whether the berner is the right breed for our family. I have researched the dogs and have learned that SOME drool. If a dog is going to be a drooler, at what age does this typically start? Can this trait be seen in the pups? For the dogs that are droolers, how bad is it? I hear it is not as heavy as St. Bernards, but I am imagining more than our golden retriever who shares his latest drink with us? I apologize if this topic has been addressed before. I was unable to access the archive site. Feel free to respond if person if this is not appropriate to the list. Thanks, Julie [EMAIL PROTECTED]
