I practically raised a berner though as he was the first one i ever fell in love with at a dog daycare i used to work for. I became friends with the owner and treated him like my own dog.
He passed away a few months ago at the age of six. He had addisons disease as well as a thyroid problem.
I have done lots of homework and researched my breeder and so far they have never had any issues with all 12 of their berners. So fingers crossed!
Charlie, my 1 year old, has alot of stomach and intenstinal problems... he cant seem to fight off anything so its always giardia or coccidia or colustridium, something giving him an upset tummy. Fingers crossed, we have him sorted out now and on some additional supplements that should help strengthen his defenses.
Max, our 2 year old, has idiopathic focal seizures. The meds generally prescribed for this have some side effects we are hoping to avoid so we are testing out some holistic treatments first. We just received the supplements in the mail for him last night, so fingers crossed that they work!!!
Sounds like you've found yourself a great breeder!!! what state are they in?
