She even didn't cry or whine at the first day to the new home, but just breathe heavily when she was sleeping, I guess she was nervous but we didn't have to deal with the crying all night.

I will keep coming back to see more updates from other berner owners.

Gosh all of you guys have me soo jealous of these new bernese puppies! I have been in touch with a few breeders and cannot seem to locate a local litter..... We are in NJ where are all these pups from?

Hi All,

My 1.5 yr Berner Brutus shakes his leg also, I was getting worried myself.

I wonder what other questions this site can answer for me?

Hi and welcome to the site! Apparently this is a common thing. But so far I haven't been able to find out what it comes from???? Rileys has been shaking his leg since he was a pup...he is 4 now. And it is always the front right. Which one does Brutus shake???

With Brutus is tends to be whichever leg is not supporting much weight. I think I read that with some other posters also.

I think you should not worry very much. All 3 of our Bernese had the shaking front legs when they were puppies but only one has had any health issues as they grew older. It may be a Berner type of "growing pains" which my husband had as a kid. I wouldn't worry too much unless your dog also starts limping for more than a few days. Even then, most often rest will cure any soreness. It's only if the dog or puppy refuses to use a leg for more than about a week that I'd take them to the vet. I do recommend ALL Berner owners to get vet insurance, if only for the first 2 or 3 years when many genetic issues about joints show up.
