I am not that experienced so I am sure other people will have more suggestions but Smokey is a backtalker. I mean he in general is a talker and when we first started training he was quite upset at the idea he had to listen to me. Basically what the trainer told me is the following: 1. He must

Smokey at a lightbulb. It was on the counter and he just ate it when I went downstairs to do laundry. I called the vet's office but they are gone for the night. He seems fine right now but should I take him to the emergency room? Should I give him something to eat? Should I make him throw

THANK YOU!!! This is just wonderful. All of the advise about cotton balls was right on the ball. After writing the list, the answering service at my vet's had a vet call me and I brought Smokey in. After an X-ray and some examination it turns out that smokey swallowed the bulb whole!!!

So, I currently have a 1996 Toyota Rav4 which I thought would be a fine sized SUV for me, my boyfriend and my dog, Smokey. Turns out we have decidied this car is far too small, especially if we intend to add something else (baby or puppy) to our lives. So we have decided to buy a new SUV, to

I have a question for the list. Smokey has once again hurt his leg. This is about the 4th time something like this has happened. I am worried that there may be something I (and my vet) are missing so here's the story: Smokey is 1 year and has twisted his ankle, broken one of his toes, and now

Dear Berner-Lover, I am sorry I cannot respond to you by name, but you didn't sign your email. I wanted to respond to you as some one who has not been involved in the breed for very long and who not too long ago went through the process you are going through right now. So to start--it sucks.

Dear Kenny, I also live in a townhouse and backyard isn't even fenced. We have put up a dog run but that is barely sufficient. My dog, Smokey, is now 11 months (closing in on a year in just a few weeks) and he is pretty well adjusted to the situation. Something important to consider is that you

I wanted to add a little to this topic. Smokey is my first BMD. His breeder, Rui Rosa, was a very, very kind man who not only trusted me with this wonderful puppy but also trusted me given that I am only 22 and was just starting out. I assured him that I had the money, space, and love for a

I came across this boy who looks more like a berner than a newfie or rotweiller. The picture is probably not good enough to tell though. Is there someone around Huntington NY to look?

Lindsay, Congrats on your new boy!!! I got Smokey a short 8 months ago and I know how exciting it is. I am a graduate student so I do most of my work from home. I was worried that Smokey would be really upset and noisy when I left and since i live in a duplex, I was worried about our neighbor.
