Description

The Bernese Mountain Dog is a large, gentle breed known for its distinctive tri-color coat. Originally bred as farm dogs in the Swiss Alps, they are now popular family companions. Despite their size, they are calm and affectionate with their families. However, their high energy levels require regular exercise and mental stimulation. Their thick double coat requires regular grooming to prevent matting. Early socialization is essential to ensure they are well-adjusted and friendly with other pets and people.
