OK: I have to 'brag' a little bit to the 'group'. Things have finally 'settled' down from whelping our first litter naturally. We had one, two years ago through c-section. It was a LONG day ...from noon to about 10pm. But out of it 10 pups (Big ole bruisers) with 8 surviving...even had one in

I was going to take a break from this list for a while. I have had positive and negative experiences on this list as what we all experience in life in general. However, this evening I had such a pleasant experience - I wanted to share it with fellow Berner lovers and so I thought - ah go a head.

Admittedly I am not an experienced dog owner, Tatty being my first, but when researching where to get a puppy from none of the breeders we found would take back puppies for any reason other than within 7 days if the health check was negative (the legal state in France I believe). With the 3

Sad to say, the Berner-L may NOT be used for any commercial purposes, and that includes attempting to sell puppies. In the agreement that you accepted to be on this List, you will find explicit reference to this: "The mailing list is not a place to find puppies or offer your dog for m

I have a few hints for bathing your Berners in your bathtub. First, Get yourself a rubber mat so your Berner feels secure in the tub. There's nothing worse than a sliding Berner who is then leary of the whole process. Winston loves to get a bath and jumps right into the bathtub onto the rubbe

After weeks of not enough sleep and being a slave to the ten puppies, the last one leaves today (except the one we are keeping). It is hard to say good-bye to the little ones who have been my life for so many weeks, and I wonder if all breeders cry over the missing puppies. I worked very hard to
