[Guest guest]

he's just a baby - they do that

I had 2 giant schnausers - a lab/retriever - 3 minis - and

3 cats this afternoon - I was also told one of the feral

kittens is somewhere in the family room - very feral - she

took claws to at least 3 of the guys

What a beautiful dog! And look how happy he is!

Let me ask you, do Bernese drool? I absolutely love big huge dogs, but

I can't deal with the " leaky " ones...<G>

My Max, Lap puppy

Max at age 6 showing you're never to old to be a lap puppy. That's

D Pearson buried underneath him. I haven't had him with me for over a

month. Because of my back and the back yard not ready for a dog yet.

so he had a blast being with me and my two best dog club friends

today. Of course we watched the dog show after the Macy's parade

Bernese are supposed to be a dry mouthed breed. However that said

some do have loose flews and drool more than others. They do however

shed a ton. They are a double coated breed and well, my first male

every other week I would brush out a dillons grocery sack full of

fur. And they really blow coat when the weather changes in the

spring. We also have a lot of heath problems in the breed. But they

are one of the more expressive breeds. You can usually tell what they

are thinking by watching their expressive faces. That look on Max's

face is commonly called the berner grin. Max is toward the small end

of the standard on size. He is not heavly boned . Weighs between 95

and 100 lbs most of the time. And is a total goof ball at times.

In my part of the country with the heat and humidity we get in the

summer, they are an indoor dog with the air conditoning. Hot spots

and heat prostration have to be watched for during hot weather. They

don't do well as yard only or kennel dogs, but flourish as house dogs

and companions.

I've always thought they were beautiful dogs - though we will never have

one unless somebody leaves one at the pound, since all our " kids " are

rescues of one kind or another...

And all are " housedogs " (including the 100-lb German Shepherd/Malamute

cross) and all are spoiled rotten, just like they should be! ;-)
