I've been needing to help train my little brother (and his new Wife's) puppy recently, since I used to train dogs at a kennel for a few years. Had to head over to my parent's place today and take her and our older dog Buster on a long walk and teach her a thing or two. Harper the female pupper is really energetic.

Some breeds need a lot of exercise and attention or they just get restless. Does your brother have experience with dogs?

Aw beautiful! I love rotties - the dog I was going to be looking after was a rottie. I've had them my whole life and bred/trained  and handled them professionally. Absolutely love the breed - such great dogs! I've never seen a Maremma Sheepdog before though so that sounds like an interesting mix.

We're actually going to a Bernese mountain dog.

We've waited that long for our boy though, that we're really tempted to get a litter brother and sister when the time comes!

I was totally going to get a Bernese when I lived with my parents, but they got a Golden doodle instead. They're just lovely. I grew up with Alaskan Malamutes, so I am used to fluffy walking couches haha.

I'll show you a picture of Bjorn when I get back to a computer!
