Bernese Mountain Dog - Pet Care Information

Bernese Mountain Dog
The Bernese Mountain Dog is a striking, tri-colored, large dog. He is sturdy and balanced. He is intelligent, strong and agile enough to do the draft and droving work for which he was used in the mountainous regions of his origin. Dogs appear masculine, while bitches are distinctly feminine.

The Bernese Mountain Dog is a native Switzerland dog. These dogs are also known as the Berner Sennenhund (Bernese Alpine Herdsman's dog). The breed descends from Swiss peasants' dogs which were used for centuries as shepherd dogs, draft dogs and watchdogs. Some breeders believe that they have some blood of ancient Molossian. The recorded history of the Bernese Mountain Dog was started in the end of the 19th century.

Bernese Mountain Dogs are not the most intelligent of breeds, but they are eager to please. With determination and kindness they can be trained for obedience and one bitch at present is competing in working trials. They just love to please! Some of the breed are quite clever and they have a sense of humour.

Training should start early and be consistent. Training sessions should be short and interesting and the puppy should be happy to do what is asked of him/her. No tricks are needed to train them just perseverance.
