My mom has a berner. Awesome dog! She's on the small side, was originally purchased for some insane amount of money as a super amazing breeding dog or something but ended up with a uterine infection that necessitated her being spayed. My mom purchased her after she healed up as a pet. She's a gorgeous dog and just a love to be around. We hope she lives a long, long time because she was very carefully bred and has all the important stuff signed off but we know there's a decent chance she may not even with all the certifications and stuff.
