FACTS:
Strikingly aristocratic, Bernese Mountain dogs are one of the most attractive of the Swiss working dogs. But don't be misled by their big size. Berners are sensitive, extremely devoted and above all, super sweet dogs.
The Bernese Mountain Dog breed will suit a home-loving owner who has space for this gentle giant, likes grooming and enjoys an affectionate but not particularly active companion, and doesn't mind some canine drool.
PERSONALITY
Bernese Mountain dogs are good-natured pets, who love to be included in all aspects of family life, and make wonderful companions. They are affectionate, patient, and especially good with children, protecting them if necessary. They are social and need to be with people and given plenty of affection. Bernese Mountain Dogs will generally bark to advise the arrival of visitors but will soon settle down again. Provided they have been introduced to cats, and other household animals when young, they will live with them happily.
