Big Lad

Reuben is getting bigger, he is already as wide as Rocky, a big lad this one!

Sun worshipper

Morgan

One of the nice things about running our dog blog is that we get people telling us about their Berners.

We even get pictures sent in, so here's Morgan, a lovely chap belonging to Wanda. Morgan is a very fine pup, well he has to be

as he is Reuben's brother! He like Reuben is growing massively and Wanda thinks he is related to a beaver the amount of chewing he does

and like Morgan, Reuben is the same. We replaced the dining room door today as Reuben decided to make the cat flap Berner size!

Dawn Patrol

Aunty Montana, WooZah and Spotty on watch in The Cauldron with what looks like Bliss's backside spoiling an otherwise good photo!

Builders mate

Rock HQ resembles more of a builders yard than a smallholding at the moment, and as usual Rocky has to be exactly where we are "helping".

Pretty Poppy

This is a new Berner to feature on these pages, Poppy, a very shy Berner who might be on Rocky's to woo list.

Play the game!

Acer and Reuben playing by the stream, no matter how hard Acer tires Rocky is not going to join in.

The Bear!!

We found this clip of the big Irish Lad sent over by his owner Flash. This is Bear, hes a boy Berner from last years litter.

Bliss

Plotting fresh mischief

A right boot full!

Reuben is 17 weeks or so and a big lad. He is going through some social training now and is being taken to visit people in Vic the Volvo and already he fills the back of the estate car!

Something to get your teeth into!

Spotty has moved on from carrying half a tree round with him, he now favours one inch thick wooden planks.

Rocky the red nosed Berner......

...had a very shiny nose.

Well its his tongue actually but why spoil a good song!

Going home

Sally went back home today after a short stay testing the facilities at Rock HQ. When she arrived she was gleaming white, glossy black and a lovely russet brown.

By the time she left she was dusty, coated in pond slime and not quite so gleaming white. She has had an action packed few days and found time to to get very friendly with Rocky. She was very pleased to see her owners and they were glad to be reunited with their dusty dirty dog.

She was so keen to get back to her home she jumped in the wrong car!

And Rocky, he just looked very pleased with himself!

Dont watch me!

Rocky has always been a dog that knows his own mind, and when he and Reba decided the time was right for puppies they took off into the bracken away from any prying eyes. Sally his latest love has been staying with us and Rockstar here has resolutely refused to perform, even when she tried her best feminine Bernese moves he turned her down. This afternoon while I was feeding the fish and talking to the Technohermit who had ventured our side of the Bonsai Mountain for tea and biscuits I saw Rocky leading the love struck Sally into the Cauldron and off into the bracken where from the sound of things the earth moved. We left them a while and then went to see how they were. Clearly they were very pleased with themselves and hopefully Sally will have caught and there will be the patter of tiny paws further extending the Dolyhir Clan.

Just a bit....

Reba looking a bit mental in the entrance to the bunker the Berners have built under their Berner Bush.

Naughty!

Auntie Montana is in the bad books for chasing geese!

Power nap!

Reba and Nemo getting some shut eye

Sleep over

Sally is on a sleepover at Rock HQ so Rocky can have his wicked way.

100% cute

Bliss as a puppy

Just looking!

Rocky taking care of the new dog feed supplies

He took persuading to come out!

Do you really want that biscuit?

You have to really want it not to give it away.
