| Bernese
Mountain Puppy Breed Profile |
 Hailing from
the Swiss Mountains, the Bernese is one of four breeds of
Swiss Mountain Dogs, and the only one to possess a long coat.
Descending from the Mastiff dogs of Ancient Rome, the Bernese
can trace it's ancestry to Roman guard dogs that were left
behind as sentries as Roman armies marched through the Swiss
Alps. Interbreeding with local herding dogs produced a dog
that was smaller in size than the Roman Mastiff, but still
retaining it's steadfast enthusiasm to serve it's master and
trustworthyness, as well as a keen ability to herd livestock.
Mountain dogs have been used for centuries to herd, pull carts
of goods and produce to market, and to guard home and hearth.
When machines replaced the need for dog carts, fanciers took
steps to ensure that the breed was preserved. In 1907, a club
was formed to promote the Bernese Mountain Dog. The breed's
popularity soon spread to North America, where it has been
included as a recognized breed in the "Working Dog" Group.
Bernese Mountain Dogs are large, sturdy dogs. They stand up to
27.5 inches at the shoulder and possess a medium length, shiny
black coat with distinctive brown and white markings.
Bernese Mountain Dogs make wonderful family pets. They are
intelligent, affectionate, loyal and protective. Their natural
herding instinct makes them first class babysitters! This breed
needs a lot of exercise, so it is essential that families
considering a Bernese Mountain Dog as a pet be able to offer a
large, fenced yard and plenty of vigorous exercise. Grooming
needs are moderate - a thorough brushing every few days is
important to keep the coat glossy and tangle-free. Early and
consistent obedience training is recommended to help this breed
reach it's full potential as a great family dog.
