Dogs are always beautiful, but some breeds are really special. Bernese mountain dog is large and heavy, strong and loyal, but gentle and kind, just a kind of a friend every child would like to have. It really is a perfect family dog, especially if you can provide adequate living conditions for this gentle giant. Visit Bernese Mountain Dog Breeders CaliforniaAssociation pages for more info about this wonderful breed.

Bernese dogs belong to a family of Mastiff dogs, and originate from Switzerland, from the Canton of Bern, they were named after. They are quite large, somewhere around one hundred pounds or more, for adult male, and little less for females. They have really beautiful, thick, double coats, and many wonderful qualities.

Berners are good in guarding, carting and tracking, and make very good watch and search and rescue dogs. They are very easy to train, and have especially good nature. They are very friendly to all people, and tolerate all other animals, including cats and dogs. They are very good with children, full of patience and tolerance.

They don't live very long, maybe eight years in average. Bernese dogs are prone to bloat, cancer and hip dysplasia. They gain weight easily, and it is important to take a real good care about their diet. Don't over-feed them and make sure they get only the best quality food. This way you might prolong your dog's life expectancy, especially if you make sure it gets enough exercise every day.

They need spacious, fenced in yard to spend their time in, playing with their owners, or at least with other dogs. They need their owners' company, and don't appreciate to be left alone. If you live in an apartment, consider buying some other breed, this one simply won't be happy living in a small apartment, because it is a very active dog. Take your dog for a walk every single day, it will be good for both of you.

Bernese dogs won't be very happy living in some small apartment, but their owners won't be very happy either. Berners shed, daily and seasonally, and you have to give them a good brushing every day, if you want to keep this shedding at minimum. They have very thick hair, and it needs regular attention. The coat is black, the belly is white, and there are symmetrical white, black and rust markings on the head and legs.

If you are interested in buying one pure Bernese, find a reputable breeder. Specialized breeders are highly experienced, and they provide healthy, socialized and defect free puppies, with best characteristics you can find. Thanks to the fact they keep them in adequate conditions, puppies are easy to housebreak and perfectly adaptable.

Another reason for choosing reputable breeders only is the fact they are able to give you valuable advices about this breed. Their suggestions will make your life easier, and you will be able to take care about your new family member on the best possible way.
