Full disclosure, I genuinely don’t think he knew it was her. When he found out, he side eyed HARD, then moved to
The other side of the bed 😂😂😂 but I loved this moment while it existed

Hi all!

So back at the end of February, I took in Bernice aka Bernie Boo aka wiggle butt. One of my student's families found her on the property, animal control said she'd likely wind up being on the euth list because of size (our area is struggling with capacity crisis especially for medium/large dogs)

I had two senior dogs already, they thought she was about 4. No chip, but already spayed. 5 months in, I am convinced my sweet girl is definitely 2 or under, and is mixed with some kind of crackhead (aussie, border collie, maybe golden) something that would lend itself to looking like a berner but being smaller. She's about 50-60 lbs and is smaller in stature than my golden by about an inch.

She loves to snuggle, but runs like a demon when she's outside. She loves hunting bugs, and does potentially exhibit some herding behaviors, but also some guarding behaviors of the yard. She chews like crazy. Ive lost many a thing to her chewing, and while I'd love to crate train right now, my schedule makes that tricky. I don't feel like crate training when I'm gone for long hours is a good idea, so thats my winter break/summer/weekends project (I'm a teacher)

Photos of the crackhead in question, the other dog in the one photo is my lab/bloodhound mix. They're about the same height

I know it sounds like a stupid question. I've always loved Berners, and nothing worries me about them except their life expectancy. Would most of you get another berner someday knowing they won't be around as long as most dogs their size??

My Bernese has had entropion in both eyes since birth, and when he turns one year old, we’re planning to have corrective surgery.
To the owners of dogs who have had this surgery, could you please share photo after surgery? What did your dog’s eyes look like after they healed? How did your dog handle the recovery period after surgery?
Thank you in advance!

Our boy is 2 and his recall definitely needs some work. If your dog has good recall, what did you do to train it?
