Hi guys, I couldn't seem to find the 'right' place for this thread, so I thought this would be a suitable place.
A little new here, Im from the big WA state. My family has had its share of dog experiences, mostly mutts if you so wish. We had a brilliant little dog, that we believe was a springer cross lab. though we only knew the springer was the mother.
weve had a lab back in the 70s, and a border in the 80s. We're in Australia now, and my mom has been wanting a dog. Of course I have a love for berners, and have been trying to convince the other family members that a berner will be bags of fun. Though my mother wants a flat-coated, or Labrador, or a golden, though they're a bout $600++.
My mother seems to have this false impression that a berner is about the same size as a Great Pyrenees (which I saw a 9 months old dwarf an alastian, and fell in love with it; when i was 12 though). We live in a BRILLIANT area to take these kinds of dogs for walks, theres a huge estuary(40mi sq.), lots of walk paths, 10 minutes to the beach...
My mom has bad allergies to dogs moulting too, a golden retriver, or lab moulting is fine. A malamute would be a killer.
Any factual information, with strong references should help my case
PS. Our next door neighbours have a beagle, and the others have a ball of fluff(a Maltese X Shih Tzu). Our friends have brought their staffy which has been a great character.
