Here is the article from the BMDC GB Handbook 2002...
Here's the second article: Bernese, DNA Testing and the Approaching Dilemma, also from the 2002 Handbook
Both the above articles are posted with permission of the author, Steve Green, who is the Bernese Breed Council Health Co-Ordinator.
He would be very interested to hear your thoughts on setting up a British data base, either as part of Berner-Garde or a separate UK one.

I thought you might be interested in the original BMDC GB survey of mortality; the file is large, about 200KB.
It was originally published in The BMDC GB Magazine Volume 3, Number 1. December 1989.
