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.
