Anyone else's berner get flipper feet sometimes?

14 weeks tomorrow 🫶🏻 the cutest little landshark you ever did see!

So my girl has been having pretty bad diarrhea for the past couple days on her regular kibble and prescription diet kibble - I have no slept at all lol.

Anyways- I have been giving boiled chicken and rice to soothe her stomach but she has been itching a lot lately on that

Does this mean she is allergic to chicken? If so, what would be a better diarrhea remedy food I could give her? Also - can she be allergic to the chicken but not the chicken broth?

Hi, if you could choose an app, product, etc. that could help you with raising/living with a dog, what would it be? Is there something you wish existed, something you need that you can’t find anywhere or doesn’t exist? I was thinking about start-up ideas and about what would help me in my daily life with my BMD but can’t think of anything, except very strong toys. Maybe you guys can give me some inspiration. Be creative (and realistic)! 🥰

This is Lucy, she’s 12 weeks old, we’ve had her for six weeks. Having a hard time getting her kennel/house broke. She actually does well with the kennel, but can not keep her from peeing in the kennel and in the house. I know she is still young, but at this point she is going backwards. Any tips, or do I just need to be more patient? (I feel like I’m patient enough, I’ve always raised Pyrenees 🤷🏻‍♂️)

Hello - I suspect that my 5.5 month old berner ate a soft cat toy - probably 5inx1in in size and soft with no squeaker. She has never eaten anything like that but suddenly I can’t find it so I began to worry since I’d seen her sniffing it earlier that day. I’ve turned my entire house upside down - it’s nowhere to be found.

This happened last Wednesday evening (today is Tuesday so almost a week later). She has been completely normal and all of her bowel movements have been solid and regular, so I started to think that maybe it was hidden somewhere but I’ve searched again and again and it’s not here.

Even though she has no symptoms I decided to take her to the vet to be seen and to voice concerns. They said since she doesn’t have symptoms just to monitor for any change in appetite, vomiting, etc.

They said it is possible it’s still in her stomach. Obviously I will be watching her like a hawk for any signs. I am curious if anyone else has had experience with something like this and what ended up happening.

Maybe one day she’ll pass it or vomit it up!

Our final visit to the dog park…love this baby. “Three years a puppy, three years a good dog, three years an old dog and the rest is a gift"

We haven’t made it to 9 years with either Berner, love your babies! We made it to 7 with Grizz, and 8 years, 8 mo with Bella. I’m gonna miss her so much. She is my best friend.

We’ve been fulfilling her bucket list…it’s sometimes not a matter of when but how do we want it to look, how can I honor her, ease her suffering and give her a peaceful death. It’s a heavy week.

Energy can’t be created or destroyed only transformed. She is almost ready for her wings. She is me and I am her. We are all one. May there be more peace, more love in this world. She has brought so much light. Thank you baby girl. You’ve made me better. May I carry your spirit of tenacity, curiosity, pure energy, and those big brown eyes of innocence always. U have been a gift from God. They’re truly angels to help us in this human existence…we don’t deserve dogs, but I’m sure glad God created them as our companions. I would not have made it this far in life. They’ve been my salve and my balm in life’s disappointments. Life is better w a Berner. Pray for our hearts, pray to ease our doubts…this decision has been so difficult. She has been sick for a long time. She is so resilient and incredible. Best pup in the world.

Smiling Swissters out for a windy walk!

Are Berners known for barking? I didn’t think they were but mine is a huge barker. Don’t know how to fix it honestly and need some serious help. She’s 9 months

Hi! I’m hoping to join the Berner club as I’ve always loved the breed and I finally have the space, time, and stability to own a dog. I currently work from home which will be great for the first few months, but I will have to return to the office 3 days a week starting in March 2025. Luckily my office is only 10 min away, so I plan to come home at lunch to take puppy on a walk. They would be crated for 3-4h in the morning, out at lunch, then 3-4h in the afternoon. Would this be ok or should I look into alternative arrangements?
