The Bernese Mountain Dog

The happy wagging tail and calm demeanor of the Bernese Mountain Dog make him or her a splendid family pet.

Bernese thrive with a job and can be trained to be useful sled dogs. They are large and strong, so a potential owner should be able to commit to consistent leash training and not be averse to living with some dog hair.
