About

The Bernese Mountain Dog is known for its friendly and balanced character. Originally a herding and driving dog, it has become a popular family dog that is both willing to work and gentle. These dogs are particularly people-friendly and thrive best in a close family environment. Thanks to their high intelligence, they are well-suited for various tasks like companion or tracking dogs. Bernese Mountain Dogs need sufficient daily exercise, with regular walks and activities crucial for their well-being. While they are not extremely active, they enjoy outdoor time and activities with their people. A well-structured daily routine with tasks and play ensures they stay happy and balanced. Loving and consistent training is essential to nurture their intelligence and talents. Though Bernese Mountain Dogs have particularly beautiful coats, they are easy to care for, requiring only bi-weekly brushing. Their robust nature and ability to interact gently with children make them excellent family members. A balanced Bernese loves being part of everything and contributes to the harmony of a household with its friendly nature.
