I do therapy work with our Berners. Start with a basic obed class (do this
regardless of what you are planning to do) and work towards getting a Canine
Good Citizen Certificate. That is the basic start, but in the meantime

We had to induce vomiting with our girl after eating onions, green pepper,

Thanks Christne Kabler
I am glad you went into detail about the info. Being a newbie and
learneing more and more about the Berners this info will be helpful.
Thanks Pat
Thanks for the support. Will let you and everyone know when I adopt my

Hi all,
Slow me just realized that there are shows this
coming weekend in Berkeley Township, NJ. I noticed
that there is an entry of about 17. Hopefully I'll
be able to meet some others from this list at the
show. Anyone coming down?
Would love to meet and put a face with a name.

Pat,
I have always tried to stay in touch with the owners of both the sire
and dam of my dogs. The owners of the dams were always very happy to
hear any news, I didn't know who the owner of the sire of my first
Berner was, the owner of the sire of my second Berner always kept in
touch, and the own

Your act of selfless kindness and generosity has touched me

generosity given without expectation or even the possibility of
thanks is the purest form of kindness. It helps restore my faith

In addition to wondering how many people keep in touch with their dog's
"paternal grandparents" I also wonder how many breeders keep the sire's
owners informed about the puppies throughout their lives.

Hi All, This has been a very intersting thread,
particularly Lisa's points. Lisa, you did an
excellent job pointing out the many considerations
involved in deciding to become a breeder. Having
worked in rescue for a few years, I saw the
consequences of poor breeding. While I'm sure the

If, as a result of your post or any calls you have made around your area,
someone offers you a show pup, from healthy lines, tomorrow, be very
suspicious. There are brokers and backyard breeders who are now involved
with Bernese who would be delighted to "guide" you and tell you whatever you

Lisa,
You bring up some great points especially having proper accomodations for a visiting
girl. I'd sure hate to have some accidents -- of course I'm not a breeder and never
expect to become one even though I've been in the breed since 1986. While I can
appreciate the efforts of others being
It is no secret that the Bernese Mountain Dog is not the world's healthiest
breed. There has been discussion as to whether any lines are free from
cancer. In addition, immune systems appear to not be terribly strong.
These are just a couple of the problems with which the breed is plagued,

Years from now, when you have at last obtained that Bernese that is winning
in the show ring, performing well in working events, and, too, possesses an
admirable temperament, you will want to also ask your mentor(s), and those
with decades of experience as breeders to evaluate your dog. Let us
Hi all,
I had so much fun recording the answers to my first Fun Survey that I'm
doing another one. You can either copy the survey into a new email and
record your answers or just send the answers. I'll be recording data for
3 weeks and then I'll post my results.
Have fun!

After twenty years of involvement in the breed, I have formed opinions
regarding what I feel should be "required" to become a conscientious breeder
of Bernese. It is my hope that, especially, our fine breeders
will contribute to this thread.
Since just about anyone can become a dog breeder, I sh

Someone please e-mail me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] regarding any rescue information. VERY
interested in rescuing a Berner now that Caesar is older. Where do I get on a list or
be informed of any rescues in our area (withinn 5-6 hour drive), East Coastish...

Hi Esta! Nice to meet you -- always fun to meet someone in our neck of the woods.

For those of you who know Klarsson, or met him at the recent PVBMDC regional

I can't remember whose dog it was. At one of the Bernese Weekends at
Shirley Chong's a Berner gulped down a glove before any of us could react
and grab it. Really was amazing as the pup had to gulp big to get it down.
A bit of peroxide later up it came no worse for wear. The dog was fine and

Hello Danielle,
Well my method wouldn't really help on a hike, but my vet told me to "feed"
my dog 1/4 cup of salt to induce vomiting. I did this one time when I found

frantic because he had done that before and it result
