Breed All About It – Bernese Mountain Dog
January 13, 2010 - 3:17 pm
Bernese Mountain Dogs, the pride of Switzerland,
were used for pulling carts up and down the hills. Today, Berners use these same
skills when they compete with other mountain dogs in Draft Dog competitions.

they are very similar to newfoundlands, and do have a lot of newfoundland in them since they were crossed in the 1800’s to increase size and improve temperament..they are one of the best breeds with children and tend to not have a mean bone in them!

No, Greater Swiss Mountain Dogs get significantly bigger. I have a 7 month Bernese Mountain Dog and he is strong, but the Greater Swiss has a lot more muscle mass.

Sorry to hear that; but for whatever it’s worth? Berners were number three on our list of 16 breeds, before finally choosing Alaskan Malamutes for service dog work. Bernies, although absolutely wonderful dogs, do have a thing with longevity (unfortunately); otherwise they’d have given the Mals stiff competition.
I still admire this breed, though. (Never met a Bernie I didn’t like, either!)
