It's time for me to break down and get my first dog. I have a two year old son, a house and two fairly well adjusted cats. I have my eye on three breeds: Golden Retrievers, Samoyeds and Bernese Mountain Dogs. I've had unsolicited advice about the relative merits of them all (the upshot of which is usually "Buy a mutt!"). I'm particularly interested in hearing from owners of Samoyeds and Bernese Mountain Dogs. What are the tricks and traps? Any conditions that I should *absolutely* meet before buying one of these? Please reply by mail... Mark Smith (...ihnp4!mtgzz!mtuxn!fjrtt1!mark!mark; that's two marks)
