Comments:I really enjoyed looking at your photos of your gang; past and present. I especially enjoyed looking at the veterans photos. It doesn't look like Berners get grey or show their age (I should be so lucky). I have 3 Berners ages 5,5, and 4. I hope I'll be able to submit all their photos to the veteran’s page in the future.
Thanks for sharing.

We lost our Berner about 2 years ago.

Enjoy your Berner!

This girl I found is a wonderful dog and I certainly can understand, after spending 24 hours with her, how attached one can get to this breed.
I'm doing complete "due diligence" to find her owner, but if they can't be found, I will take her on, no problem!
Your site's wonderful!

Comments:The story is unbelievable to see Cleo has had 14 male dogs...It makes me laugh ... I have 2 Berners , 1 born on Oct. 24th also , but in 2004 ... Nikko is 2.5 yrs old and Goliath (my giant) is born December 10th, 2002 (4.5yrs) ..
They are the sunshine of my life , and I bring myself to read veteran dogs and the ones that passed on to doggie heaven... My heart goes out to these loving dogs ..they are so special . I can't imagine the day I will lose one of them ... it scares me so much already. I hope they get to live the longest of BMD lives which is about 12-13 yrs old ...
They can be found on www.berner.org ... in the gallery section... On the left hand side where there is a search engine , you can type either Goliath , or Nikko and you will find my wonderful dogs ... Nikko being a small berner , more like the original swiss dogs ..and Goliath being American breed ... somehow I believe with Newfie bloodline somewhere's ... but beauty is only skin deep ...they are both beautiful in their own ways ...

My deepest sympathies to
Cleo ...

Comments:Hi,
We have a Bordernese (at least we are fairly sure)
At first sight we thought he was a Border Collie, but on closer examination we saw a kind,soft face and considered the possibility of a mix with a Spaniel of some kind, but he has the look of a Bernese about him. Photo's on the Internet have confirmed this for us.
We got Ollie (previously known as Max) from a rescue centre in Herfordshire. He had been locked up in a shed in filth, won't go into further details.
At first he was a dominant serious dog. We made him know we were the Alpha members of the 'pack' and he eats when we have finished eating, goes through doorways after us and is thanked for barking (once or twice only) for letting us know if there is a stranger around or a knock at the door. He sleeps in the kitchen in a mesh crate (door open) at night and with the door locked when we go out for a couple of hours. He did not play at first but now he is quite mad. We have a special toy which he can only have when we are ready to play, he has others of course but we need to make him know we are in charge.
He loves to run and will go off on his own if allowed (and no, he is not allowed!)
His main hobby is--------being with us.
Ollie is between 3 and 5 years old at best guess.
Hope this of interest to you.
I would be delighted to here about any Bordernese out there.

Purchased from ampaws.com Larry and Mary Schnell, Mexico, Missouri. His name is DUKE. An extremely affectionate, intelligent, quick lerner! His father is Lincoln and Mom Lexi. Just a little question- he loves to bite your hands.. ankles....I am sure it is his teething.. right? Any suggestions? First timers for this type if puppy. Our other dog was a Shepherd/Lab mix and he lived just shy of 16. I realize that this breed doesn't have that kind of life expectancy- Thanks again..

When i read your story i started crying. I just have one question, are bernese mountain dogs as good as they sound. Because in all the books it says that they are one of the nicest dog and they're gentle with kids...is that true?....well i hpe you can answer my question. thanks kathy lee

Comments:Rosie,

Thanks for your mail to my Longlease Guestbook.

I understand your concerns re the short life expectation and possible health problems associated with Bernese and wishing you all the best with your new Bordernese Boy.

I have had two Bernese lived very healthy lives to ripe old age but also have lost two very young to cancer.

This is a major concern within the breed, however is one that all responsible breeders are addressing.

By coincidence I have just uploaded an article re. crossbreeds to my Longlease Site

http://bernese.biz/articlecrossbreeds.htm

A cross breed comes with a question mark!

Wishing you the very best with your Boy, let me know how it goes

I love Bernese but was worried about their short life expectation and possible health problems, so have recently got a Bordernese, that's a cross between a Bernese and a Border Collie. He's 14 weeks old, with huge paws and a really sweet Bernese face. He is adorable. He's the first dog my family has ever had so we are on a learning curve, and need plenty of advice. If anyone else has a bordernese please let me know how you have got on with him / her.

Comments:Hi Christi,

Thanks for your message on my Longlease Guest Book.

With all my dogs I just give them a good brush every few days, when they are shedding I use a comb to strip out the old undercoat. I rarely bathe them but we do lots of walks in the rain which keeps their coats wonderfully soft. I feed sardines and other oily fish regularly for a healthy sheen.

But my dogs are country dogs and running around outside most of the days, during the winter when it is very muddy their white bits tend to get a pink tinge, we have very heavy red clay soil here and they get very muddy a lot!

If I wanted them to look immaculately groomed then would be another matter.

I would take them to a professional groomers then for the full works!

There is a group on Yahoo for owners of Bernese Mountain Dogs, it is an International Group of some 2000+ owners of Berners Worldwide. I know discussions come up a lot on Berner L re. grooming and you will get the best advice here as to which grooming tools to buy. I am in the UK so no use telling you what I use, the brand names US are different.

I would join Berner L , it is a group of Berner Lovers including many experienced breeders and vets who can help in all matters relating to our beloved Berners

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Berner-l/

Let me know if you need more help here.

Yours Bernerly,

One truly never knows.. God Bless you for having the courage,and having and giving to everyone "All Love", as your Momma always says..

Comments:About 2 years ago I read your website, having done a search for the horrible cancer Samson had. My beloved Golden Retriever 'Bandit'(15 years 6mths) had just been diagnosed with it, and I wanted to know more about it. Sadly it was little more than a week before I could bare to see him suffering anymore. It was the hardest decision I've ever made, but I knew he could never get better and his quality of life was fast becoming very poor. Baring in mind his age and that he was declining so rapidly, Chemo just simply wasn't an option.This was nearly 2 years ago now but I think about him ever day.
Your website made quite a differnce to our lives, as we got to find out about Bernese. We took our time, considering if they were the right breed for us. We visited discover dogs, several small bernese shows, and asked lots of people advice. Finally we got to choose "Bruin." He's the most delightful and wonderful Bernese puppy! I write this 4 days after his first birthday.
It was probably not in the happiest circumstances that I originally read your website, but i thank you for sharing Samsons story, as we found out just how wonderful Bernese are!

Comments:After seeing your site, it has reminded me of the bitter sweet memories of my beautifull Bernie. Although not a erise, he was a beautifull big black newfie, who also died very quickly and suddenly from a malignancy. Although our other two newfs keep us on our toes by letting us share there lives and affection, and unending love, I still often think of my bernie. Your site is an inspiration to all of these big beautifull creatures, who are so much more than dogs

I am in a dilemma as whether to bring to to the vet or let him self recover. You see, if i had believed in the vet's words, Zacky would have been put to sleep twice.

I am already grieving for Zacky who seems to be on borrowed time..

Comments:Dear Jean,

We would like to pay a special tribute to a very special man, who not only has given of himself and his talent to help raise money and call attention to rescue Bernese Mt. Dogs & other breeds for decades, but to help in the research of illness as well.

Willem Wijnberg,our personal HERO, even now giving and doing so very much in the fight to shut down the puppy mills and pet stores around the world selling pups from these mills..

At an age when even a very healthy man could be enjoying life without the incredible stress of reaching out to people who care about the puppies and dogs living in blight,Willem on the contrary planted the "seed of hope" in Chris's & my heads, as well as of course Jean's..
The seed was planted, and the project began. World wide response started to trickle in, and then the trickle became more of a flow as more graphic descriptions of the atocities arrived on our computer e.mail, as well as by snail mail..

Willem, in spite of not being in the best of health, told me that he once again felt like a young Warrior on a mission, and daily continues to amaze us with his commitment to his/our cause..

In a world of "let someone else do it",Willem Wijnberg,a caring child of God says,"I'll do as much as I can", and he does, even more!

I and Chris consider this Gentle Man a Brother, only seperated by an Ocean. We Love him as we do Jean, for all they both do to Honor God's creatures..

May Willem continue to be such a positive inspiration to all of us who truly want justice to prevail, in our quest to 'Shut down the mills'..

The puppies and dogs are waiting to be set FREE !

We plan to make that day come, thanks to a seed planted by Willem Wijnberg in the Netherlands..

May all of your dreams have wagging tails and smiling faces.

Berner Hugs to all, Herb & Chris Baker

All those letters we will send to Oprah Winfrey and ask her to do a show on this item becouse most of the people do not know about this bisiness .Oprah is self a great dog lover and her influence on her publick is very much and her shows go world wide.
We like to see that Oprah tell her publick under whitch curcomstands those poor animals must life bij those puppy millers and how unscrupulous petshops sell the puppy,s from those puppy millers.Most of those puppy,s are sick and have all kind of hidden hereditary illnesses as HD,ED,skin and hearth problems,trough the fact that puppy millers do not take care about those illnesses the only thing they will is to urn as much as posseble money for as less as posseble cost.

The mother and fathers of those puppy, must life under very bad curcomstance , they must life in very small cages where they hardley can move the bottum of those cages are from wire-netting who make terreble wonds on the paws and those cages are put one on each other so that when the dogs do pie or poop it will fell on the understanding dog those cages are almost never clean up,the puppy millers do there cruelty job in dark clousd barns so that the outsite world do not know about it.
The dogs never get medical treatment if necessereley ,those dogs never see the sunshine ,those dogs never feel the green grass under their paws,those dogs get the most bad cheapest food,those dogs must life there live long in prisson.
An human killer who have kill an ather human and waight for his dead pennalthy have an much better life then those poor animals,the only crime this poor animals have don is to by born as a dog and fell in the hands of those criminals.

So please every dog lover who read this tell your friends about this and writh a letter to Oprah and send this letter to Chris and Herb baker there email adress is
cwbaker@catskill.net .Trough his work Herb have very influence friends who are also friends from Oprah and one of them a famus movie star and well know acteur from the American TV have offer to gif all the letters to Oprah and ask her to do a show on this item.

Dog lovers this is your big change to fight against the unscrupulous puppy millers backyard breeders and petshop ouwners to get there businiss out of the world.

SO PLEASEand i can tell you if you have writht those letter you will feel your self a much bether Human.

Comments:Our Dear Friend Jean,

'Twas a delight talking live by phone across the Atlantic, which seems so much smaller now..

We HOPE that the dog lovers of all breeds will take the opportunity to helpin our quest to rid the world of puppy-mills,pet stores,and even more heinous atrocities being perpetuated on not only Bernese Mountain Dogs,but on all breeds,small,large,and medium.. There is no bigotry when it comes to exploiting and abusing dogs and puppies by people with no values,or morals,when their goal worldwide is to make money by exploiting and abusing our four legged friends and albeit,kids !!

We hope that one at a time, folks will write to the above e.mail address, and express their thoughts and experiences, so that our attempt to bring this information to the Oprah Winfrey Show, hoping that she will do a show on these atrocities will be indeed succesful !!

Willem Wijnberg,who came up with this idea,is doing and has done so much for so long to help our '4 legged kids', can be honored for all he gives if people just go their computers and express what they know is the Truth about the mills,and other venues of atrocities..

THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE,and we need letters !

To all who read this unusual letter in Jean's Guestbook, please, please, take part in putting these puppy-mills and the pet stores dealing with puppies from these mills out of business by writing and taking part !

Hoping to hear from oh so many of you,

Respectfully, Herb and Chris Baker

Nice to find these web-sites.I just found out that my 6yr old rott has Lymphosarcoma.My girls name is Mally and has been my pride & joy since I brought her home at 6wks.She goes for a biopsy on thursday so I can know how long I'll have left with her.I tried really hard 10yrs ago to save my cocker who had gotten a blood disese.Don't think I want to put her thru the chemo,which after reading all these sites is the only way to buy here some extra time.But still do not know what to do.Just wanted to thank you for the site..
