We brought Benny home on January 1st. He's a Bernese Mountain dog. He weighs about 17 lbs, and is about as clumsy as can be. You can see my other buddy, Bling, who I think realizes that Benny is going to be a BIG dog.

Sweet looking pup. Congratulations.

Re: Newest Family Memeber...
 

My wife just woke up and asked me if I brought him upstairs. I guess he knows how to climb stairs.

Re: Newest Family Memeber...
 

Congratulations on the handsome addition to your family. He will get big but the more crucial problem is that they are like border collies, they are smarter than humans.

Re: Newest Family Memeber...
 

Cute puppy! :tu

Re: Newest Family Memeber...

We're expecting around 130LBS.

Re: Newest Family Memeber...
 

Wow!!!

And to think I complain about picking up poop for a 55 lb Pit, a 15 lb Yorkie and a 6 lb Maltese.
My three barely add up to half of that weight.
You should pick up some flags and claim the poop mountains as your own, sort of like the lunar landing or Mt. Everest.:r:r:r

Good luck with that handsome pup. Looks like he will be lots of fun.

Re: Newest Family Member...
 

He's totally adorable! Congratulations.

Your puppy weighs more than my dog... and he's 11 years old. :)


hmmmmmm.... This is not good. I need a bigger dog.

Re: Newest Family Member...
 

Cute Dog! 130 lbs should be quite a good sized dog. Hoping my pup gets to 100 lbs

Re: Newest Family Member...
 

Nice looking dog! Hmm, a mountain dog. As soon as i get a new place, im getting a dog. I dont know a whole lot about dogs, but is this one expensvie? I am looking at a lab, german shep, or gold. retr.

Re: Newest Family Member...
 

That is a cool looking dog! :tu

Re: Newest Family Member...
 

What a cool lookin' Pup! He will ule the house, I'm sure. :ss

Re: Newest Family Member...
 

he's a great looking dog. looking at his mitts he's gonna be a big guy. I have a 7 1/2 yr old German Sheppard who is such a cream puff. They are great friends for sure. Congrats

Re: Newest Family Member...
 

This guy was pretty expensive, at least the most money I've ever paid for a dog. His father was the 4th place ranked Bernese in the country last year. In the end though, none of that matters.

I had a Chocolate lab who was an amazing dog. He was a genius and if Benny turns out anything like him, I'll be happy. They are great dogs too.

Re: Newest Family Member...
 

Thanks, ill look into the bernese more. They look like great dogs!

Re: Newest Family Member...
 

Beautiful dog. Thanks for sharing the pics. Looks like the two dogs get along (lucky for Bling :D) Enjoy.

Re: Newest Family Member...
 

Benny, the new one, is very confident and dominant. The little one has always loved dogs, and wants to play with Benny, but Benny is still in his puppy biting stage. Once he nips, Bling, the little one, a fight ensues. For now Bling can hold his own, but that may not be the case in a week. For now, the best thing we can do is let Bling defend himself and scold Benny for biting.

We had our first trip to the vet today, and she pretty much reiterated that we need to let Bling defend himself while he can.

Re: Newest Family Memeber...
 

That's 124 lbs. bigger than my dog.:r

Re: Newest Family Member...
 

Very cute puppy. Congrats!!

Re: Newest Family Member...
 

Here's an update. He's putting on the LBS. He's still giving Bling a hard time, but now Bling isn't afraid to give it back to him. And they are starting to play as opposed to fight. He's also got all of the basic tricks down. Sit, lie down, roll over, shake hands. The funny thing is that when it's trick time, Bling sits right next to him and does the tricks before Benny can figure out what he's supposed to do.
