When I had my first Bernese in 1974 they were very new to this country and we knew very little about them. It was some years later that their poor...
Here's some of mine from long ago. I owned/bred Bernese for 26 years but don't have any now.... [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] And fido is...
Yes I agree, it's good policy to find out if this could be a problem in the breed. ps; I haven't been able to find any more on the GSD, only that...
Yes, that was the paper published in conjuction with the research that discovered the gene. There haven't been any published reports of Border...

Good thinking....... "hello Mum, would you like me to come round and cook a Sunday roast?" :mrgreen:
