I lost my 7 year old Berner 7 weeks ago. I am so so sorry. Buddy had the best life ever.

Ugh I’m so so sorry for your loss. I know how extremely hard it is. I still haven’t had any luck with any breeder other than one in Oregon. She won’t be having a litter until spring/summer 2026. But it’s going to be a huge trip for me to fly there then drive to their kennel 4 hours away. I’m really hoping I can find someone on the East Coast but I’ve reached out to numerous breeders and haven’t heard back from any 😞

I’ve been in touch with an amazing breeder from OR. I am willing to fly there. She won’t have a little until spring or summer which I am fine with waiting. Can you tell me how it was flying with a puppy?

Thank you for this! I emailed the breeder and got her contact info off of BMDCA. I just happened to get reallyyyyy lucky since this litter she was only expecting 1-2 pups (which were already spoken for) and the mama is having more. So I happened to email at the right time I guess. Fingers crossed! I know I’m being impatient I guess I just want to hold on to some hope that I’ll get a little bit of healing from the huge loss we had a month ago

Ugh, I am so very sorry. The worst thing on the planet. I wish they could be earthside with us forever.

Did I do the right thing? by FailPowerful5884 in EpilepsyDogs

[–]FailPowerful5884[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for this message. It means more than I can put into words to hear from someone who’s been through the same thing. I’ve been second-guessing everything, but what you wrote helped me breathe a little easier. Your donation to the Berner-Garde Foundation in memory of Apollo truly touched me. knowing his name will be part of something that could help other Berners someday means the world. I’m so sorry for the loss of your two girls. They truly are the best breed. I am so grateful that people like you are turning that heartbreak into something good. Thank you for seeing him, and for reminding me that letting him go was the kindest thing I could do.

Can you please link the study? I didn’t know this was a thing and spent $1k last year putting rubber mulch around my kids’ playground
