| Barkley was
whelped on November 15, 2001 here at Nineveh. He is the son of Bux
vom Luag is Land and Welina v. Kopfrein. He has grown into a large
Bernese, weighing approximately 112 pounds. Evaluated at the age of
14 months, Barkley's PennHIP evaluation report concluded that his
passive hip laxity profile ranking was greater than 90%. This result
means that Barkley's hips are tighter than at least 90% of the dogs
in the Bernese Mountain Dog breed database at PennHIP. His OFA hip joint conformation was evaluated as Excellent and his OFA elbow evaluation was normal at the age of 26 months. He is
very curious and is the family clown; he has been known to eat crayons
if he finds them! |
