General Information
TheBernese Mountain Dog is a hardy breed with a sturdy, heavy build and
a beautiful double coat. Their compact body is well muscled and features
a deep, broad chest. They have a wide head with a slight furrow down
the middle and a pair of average-sized, triangular-shaped ears. Their
teeth meet in a scissors bite and their dark eyes possess a gentle expression.
The noses of this breed are black in color and the tail is long, bushy,
and carried low or in a slight upward curve. The Bernese Mountain Dog
has a comparatively long double coat that is straight or slightly wavy
in texture. The coat is weather-resistant and tri-color. A white blaze
is present on the chest and white markings are apparent on the head
and toes. Rust markings over the eyes, cheeks, sides of the chest, under
the tail and on each eye are also visible.
Character
The Bernese Mountain Dog is a very gentle breed with a cheerful disposition.
They love children and are highly intelligent and easy to train.
They are not naturally aggressive but they make excellent watchdogs.
A true companion, the Bernese Mountain Dog is very loyal and will likely
have trouble adjusting to a new owner after he is 18 months old. They
are alert, self-confident, and cheerful. They are never sharp or timid,
and they maintain their puppy-like demeanor for a long time. This breed
loves spending time with its people, and they shouldn’t be locked away
or kept in a kennel. Bernese Mountain Dogs are a comparatively
sensitive breed. They should be properly socialized and well socialized
as puppies.
Most Bernese Mountain Dogs are not highly energetic but still have enough
energy to play around with their owner. However others need walking
several times a week and can be extremely energetic.
Also this furry animal loves the cold and the snow and will do great
in a winter climate.
Health Concerns
The
Bernese Mountain Dog is susceptible to cancer and they have an average
life span of 7 to 9 years. BMD Club of America is heavily researching
this issue to see if it can be resolved. Despite the breed’s proneness
to cancer, there are a few other major health concerns. Like the majority
of other large dog breeds, there is an increased likelihood for hip
and elbow dysplasia. Bloat and eyelid problems may be prevalent in some
lines of this breed.
