Graduation Day!

Saturday was my daughter's grade 12 graduation. I get a lot of flack from her about having a blog dedicated to the dogs, so I told her I would put her on my blog today (see Amy, I don't love the dogs more than you). So here are pictures of Amy in her grad dress:

Yes, the dogs are in the photos with her, but this is a "Berner Blog".

Happy Graduation !!!!

Wow! Your Berners are beautiful! And it was so nice of your daughter to wear a color that goes so well with your dogs :)

We've got a 10-week old and can't wait until he's the size of Bosley and Maggie, though it's reassuring to read that, like Bosley, he'll be in his hardheaded stage long through his first year!

An Extraordinary Dog For Extraordinary People

"The Bernese Mountain Dog is different from most other dogs in many respects. Take his size, for example. Everything about a fully grown Bernese is big and strong, massive and mighty; his body, his paws, his teeth , his tongue, his tail,his emotions, his responses, his will, his good, and when they exist, not-so-good habits. Anyone who wants to adopt a Berner needs to think large. A Berner cannot be carried to the vet's in a basket; a struggling Berner cannot be pulled along on a leash; a fully-grown Bernese cannot be forced into a down position by the use of a hand-or even two. A Berner cannot be bathed in a sink, scooped up with an arm, or lifted across a puddle. A Berner slurps water with a bigger tongue from a bigger bowl (and thus slobbers more water on his folks); his coat takes longer to brush; he must go for longer walks. A Berner's paw leaves bigger , deeper, muddier tracks in the house, in flowerbeds, in the car, and on clothes; he shakes off more water upon entering the house after a hike in the rain; his tail wags with greater strength at a higher lever; he barks less frequently, but louder. A Berner bounces more merrily, mourns more deeply, sulks more sadly, resists more strongly, clings more closely, and loves more intensely. A Berner Sennenhund requires more than the little finger. He needs the whole hand, no both hands; no, still not enough. A Berner needs the total person."
