I have a bernese too, Bramble will be 6 next year and she is a sweetheart. I'm currently looking for a puppy but having little success :-( I don't think that any other dog is quite the same as a Bernese, they worm their way into your heart don't they? She is our second Bernese, but we lost our first one when he was quite young - heartbreaking.
I have to say that the Bernese that is currently on Eastenders can't be a real bernese - cos mine would have Owen's body dug up in 5 minutes flat :-D :-D
