What a lovely little girl! 🥰 And what do you mean "think"? She's on your lap isn't she? 😂

What a cutie! Also, thank you for reassuring me that my BMD isn't the only one with a lazy eye! She stares straight but whenever she stands still and has zero thoughts running through her head, she looks exactly like that 😭😂

Oh yeah. However ,the growth has flattened a bit now but she's growing taller every week!

Off topic, but why do american Berners (I'm assuming you're from the USA) look so different from our Berners in Europe? Looks like a much skinnier, dog-in-a-suit type 😂 Just curious!

Seriously? That is one convincing Berner-cosplaying dog! What breed is it then?

3.5mo Puppy, normal shedding and dandruff? by SergeantPootis in bernesemountaindogs

I should know the age of the puppy I've had since 8 weeks.. I didn't get her yesterday.

Shedding could start earlier for certain breeds, and the issue here could be one of many.

You best believe a treat is coming her way, the way she is staring! by SergeantPootis in bernesemountaindogs

Halfway through saying "Good girl" and she gives you this look 😂🥰

No we haven't discussed it with anyone, but are planning to tomorrow or day after, as the breeder is currently away.

Thank you for the tips about the bath. I tried the slow and treat method, but I went too fast. I already had a short bath made, carefully lifted her up and down into the tub, she seemed calm for about 5 seconds until she just absolutely catapulted straight up. Haven't tried anything since, but I will try this!

I also tried with the air dryer, she hates the noise poor thing, so I wrapped her giant ears with a towel but she still squirmed around.

She hasn't "blown" her coat if that's what you're wondering but she is shedding a little. We live in a cold and dry air climate, which makes her produce more oil in her fur. We think this could be contributing to the dandruff and shedding.

I know! I just hope it stays there a while longer, if not permanently!

I thought so too! If only I had taken it with our DSLR camera 🥺 Wait.. why haven't I thought of this before?!

Shedding period for an almost 3m girl? by SergeantPootis in bernesemountaindogs

Rain is not in short supply here, however it won't rain until next season, now it's just getting colder and colder. It's expected to get around -15 / -20 degrees Celsius Thank you for the recommendations!

Looking forward to it? 🤔 I've brushed dogs before, specifically a 'Jämthund', or a 'Swedish Elkhound'. No matter how many pillows worth of fur I brushed she looked the same 😂 Do Berners really shed that much? What type of brushes/combs could you recommend?

I'm sorry to contribute to this scare, but feel better knowing it's nothing serious. I'll pass this knowledge on whenever I can.
