Hello,

Happened to find this new Berner Board...I currently also subscribe to two boards on Yahoo...one general one and one for Berners who have been affected with Aseptic Meningitis (AM).

I have Finnegan who turns 2-yrs old on 6/15 and am getting a 2nd male next week!!! That's how I happened to find this board...searching for new puppy training ideas, etc.

Finn has pretty much recovered from his AM, and that unfortunately cut our Conformation Showing to an end, as I would not breed him, and therefore felt we should be taking away points from other people showing their dogs. So, hopefully Puppy #2 will have a show career.

Glad to find others who love Berners...how can you not love them afterall...

All the best,
Gail and Finnegan and Dugan (to come)!

Welcome to BernerTalk ! Glad you found us.

We also have a Berner with AM. So I have a pretty good idea of what you have been through. Riley will be 4 yrs old this month. The AM has been in remission for 2 years now, and while he does still have a few health issues, they are minor in comparison.

I look forward to the information ( health issues ) as well as the insight ( new puppy training ) that you can share with the group.

Again, welcome to BernerTalk !

Sorry to hear that Riley also suffered with AM, but VERY HAPPY to hear he's doing just fine at 4 years old!!!

I am hoping that Finn's AM says in remission forever!

I am getting a 2nd Berner puppy next week and just am praying that my abililt to hit 3/100 jackpot of an AM puppy does no happen again!

Take care,
Gail

So sorry to "hear" that both of you have dogs with the AM illness I don't know much about it. What is the ages when your Berners were diagnosed with it?? Mine just turned 1 and I'm always worrying about health issues

What CUTE puppy picture and he sure turned into a handsome boy.

I am also new to this forum so it's great to see more members joining!
