We finally did it, we passed it tonight, but boy did my lad go through a stubborn streak this evening. We got there though and finally have completed the lot, feel really good about it!!! Woohooo.!!!!

well done to your boy.

Ohh bless well done! I used to have a Bernese called Kerry, she was supposed to be my Mums, but that's another story! Very difficult breed to get past 7 eh?

Well done!!

Well done Kai :) :) and Sue for your wonderful training skills ;) :)

> Very difficult breed to get past 7 eh?

There have been a lot recently which have been reaching double figures as they are printed up into our GB club books. BUT there will always be ones which don't live that long. They are such a lovely breed to live with and i can't wait to get another one so very soon.

> Sue for your wonderful training skills

I'd like to think it was more my skills than Kai(who is the most stubborn dog at times)..

Thanks guys for your lovely messages..

Time to look forward to starting the puppy classes in a few weeks time.. I'll be doing this all over again(I must admit i do love this training and the people i meet as well)!!

I think, historically, the problem was just tolerated? Don't forget Kerry, I had in 1996...over 12 years ago and I think the research and forward thinking has done a lot to eradicate the poor lines being used. Thanks goodness!!!!

Congratulations :-)

Congratulations Suejaw on passing the gold - I'm working towards it very slowly at the moment, so I know how much hard work it is :-)
