Good looking dog..... with all that fur he must be hot in the summer......I guess that the fan is to keep him cool !! Cool dog... /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif
thanks, he weighs 150lbs now. he certainly loves the snow and cold weather, he perfectly happy outside when its 10 degrees. in the summer we have his fur shaved and it seems to help keep him cooler but also keeps are house alot cleaner and helps us see ticks. we leave him in the airconditioned house whenever its over 80, he had a seizure a few years ago from walking him when its hot.
As a kid I had a St Bernard and we used to set up a small kiddie pool that he could lay down in when it got hot. Of course then he would get out and shake off......what a mess.
We got a kiddie pool for our Berner but before we could fill it with water he dragged it off as his new toy.
Our 2 year old Schoner Switzer Hund just got a new little sister. We drove to Columbus, OH last week to meet Jessica, a rescue Berner from Kansas. The kids are getting along just fine. They are great travelers and especially love the "Red ROOF Inn."
Hi Doug,
As they say the fur has been known to fly around our place. They all carry tons of coat all year long.
this is a photo of the wife working on of the boys at a draft test.
Bolus is the Cat he is no farther than 3 feet from me when I am working, sleeping, reading, or watching TV, he's been there and saw the first wife come and go.....
