Here are some Bernese mountain dog photos for you to get a good picture of the breed.
Bernese mountain dogs are large dogs with a tri-color medium-length coat. They’re silky, soft dogs who often weigh up to 110lb, so be prepared for the size and strength if you get one! It’s also important to note that their lifespan is, unfortunately, a little less than most dogs. The average lifespan of a Bernese mountain dog is only 6-8 years.
They have a double coat so while you should get them frequently groomed, never shave the coat. It’s there for a reason, and doesn’t just protect them from heat.
They’re often called a small dog in a large dog’s body because they don’t need quite as much exercise as you might think. They love their people dearly and are very affectionate with children. They’re at their happiest cuddling up to you on the couch, and one walk a day should be enough to keep them in shape.
Because they’re affectionate and eager to please, you’ll find your Bernese mountain dog is easy to train. However, you should help them reach their full potential by working hard still. Introduce them to other dogs and people at an early age and encourage good habits. This is important with any dog.
