General Board for Big Dogs with Big Paws / Re: thoughts on Bernese?
« on: May 04, 2008, 05:54:25 am »
Hi ...... while I read a lot, I seldom post. In our household we have a 4 year old Bernese Mountain Dog, an almost 4 year old English Golden Retriever and an almost 3 year old Leonberger. I must say that Louie, the Berner, seldom drools. About the only time he does is when treats are being handed out and the two girls get theirs first. We have a Berner next door to us at the lake too. In fact they got theirs because they fell in love with Louie, and at first did not even know the name of the breed, but just knew they wanted a 'Louie dog'. lol Riley never drools.
Louie, from the time he was a puppy has been so laid back. People have always referred to him as an 'old soul' from his early days.
I also belong to a Berner board, and believe me, there are more and more Berners living to 12, 13 and 14 years of age. Malignant Histiocytosis is the cancer that most affects the breed.
In summary, I just want to say I think Bernese Mountain Dogs are a wonderful breed.
