Bernese Mountain Dogs
I thought I’d post a couple of photos of Bernese Mountain Dogs. As many of you know, we (occasionally) breed, raise, train and show these wonderful dogs. They are a Swiss breed that is relatively new to the US, and becoming very popular. Stop by the cabin sometime when we are there and you can meet our eight!
Here is a photo of Millenia (ours) and Nick (our friend’s). They are brother and sister. We also own Daisy and Bode (not shown), who happen to be children of Millenia and Sailor (photos elsewhere on this site). It can get really confusing!

Training Dogs and Leading People
As you probably know, Lynne and I are very invested in breeding, raising, training and showing dogs. (Although, we’ve slowed down a lot recently.)
I’ve noticed that some of the key guidelines for training dogs, also apply to leading and managing people and organizations. Please don’t interpret this as an insult!
