The Easter Hunt

Most people hunt for eggs on Easter. Maggie and Bosley think eggs are boring. So what do Bernese Mountain Dogs like to hunt on Easter?

Snakes!!

"OK Maggie, you look a bit worried so I'll get the head and you get the tail."

"Now . . . Pull!!!"

"Bosley, let me try having the head. I can handle it, I know it."

"Yup, I've got 'em now!"

"Bosley, concentrate on what you are doing, and get your foot off my face!"

"I said, get your big, *&%@$# foot off my face!!!!"

"Do you think we did it, Bosley? Do you think we got this snake?"

"Well, Maggie, he ain't movin', so I think we got 'em."

Another successful Bernese Mountain Dog Easter Snake Hunt.

With snakehunters like Mags and Boz along, one can truly feel safe hiking those river coulees at Lethbridge!
Happy Easter to you all!

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."
