Bernese Mountain Dog Discussions / Re: berners

Hello:)
Just thought id put in my two cents, even if the topic is dead.
I have two berners, one of which is 4 and one that is about 18 months and have no problems with allergies or anything of the sort, they get fed dog pellets(for breakfast) and have recieved all there vaccines with no problems what so ever.
Maybe its just here in australia, i dont know, but i often attend events with the bernese mountain dog club of western australia and have not heard any other members that have this problem either.
Although i must say there are alot of problems with hip and shoulder problems, with my older bernese having shoulder problems and my younger having such bad hip problems that at one point we were told to seriously consider getting him put down. Although with alot of hard work swimming him up to twice a day, he bult up alot of muscle and is now much better.
I recomend everyone considering getting a bernese to definantly get one, i could not ever imagine going back to another bread of dogs. There just like a member of the family, they eat dinner with us, they sleep in our bed, they watch tv with us. The only problem is that they think there a lap dog :p, a slight problem when you have to bernese both weighing nearly 60kg both trying to sit on your lap..
