Bernese Mountain Dogs

Bernese Mountain Dogs are generally not considered hyperactive; they are known for their calm and gentle demeanor. While they do enjoy playtime and outdoor activities, they typically have a laid-back personality and are content to relax with their family. Regular exercise is important for their health, but they tend to be more moderate in energy levels compared to some other breeds. Overall, they strike a balance between being active and relaxed.

People often dislike CCTV cameras due to concerns about privacy invasion and surveillance. Many feel that constant monitoring can create a sense of mistrust and reduce personal freedoms. Additionally, there are worries about the misuse of footage and data breaches, leading to fears of being unjustly targeted or profiled. Finally, some argue that the presence of cameras can create a sterile, unwelcoming environment.

Perceptions of Greeks can vary widely and are often influenced by stereotypes, historical conflicts, or cultural misunderstandings. Some individuals may harbor biases based on negative experiences or media portrayals, while others may simply lack familiarity with Greek culture. It's important to recognize that generalizations about any group can be misleading and fail to capture the diversity and richness of individual experiences. Promoting cultural exchange and understanding can help bridge these gaps.

To care for a Bernese Mountain Dog, ensure they receive regular exercise, such as daily walks and playtime, to maintain their physical health and prevent boredom. Their thick, double coat requires regular grooming, at least once a week, to minimize shedding and prevent matting. Additionally, provide a balanced diet tailored to their age and activity level, and keep up with routine veterinary check-ups to monitor their health, as they can be prone to certain genetic conditions. Lastly, socialization and training are essential to ensure they develop into well-behaved companions.

Bernese Mountain Dogs can typically transition from gruel to dry food around 8 to 12 weeks of age. At this stage, they should be developing enough teeth to chew dry kibble. It's important to gradually introduce dry food by mixing it with gruel initially, allowing their digestive system to adjust. Always consult with a veterinarian to ensure the timing and type of food are appropriate for your puppy's specific needs.

It is likely that people who exercise regularly have stronger hand muscles, which may allow them to squeeze a clothes pin more effectively than those who do not exercise. Regular exercise can contribute to overall strength and muscle endurance in various parts of the body, including the hands and fingers.

The Bernese Mountain dog originated in the Swiss mountains, Switzerland. Many 18th century paintings show dogs which looked just like the Bernese type dog. The breed was named for the Canton of Bern. They were working dogs particularly good at draft work, pulling carts to market. They also were used to drive dairy cattle, to watch over the farm and as a companion to the farmers. By the end of the 19th century many other working dogs were being imported to Switzerland, which brought the numbers of the Bernese down as workers began to use other types of dogs. An effort was made by a group of people including Professor Albert Heim and Franz Schertenleib to preserve the breed. They went around finding what remaining dogs they could in order to stabilize the Bernese. Today the breed makes a wonderful companion and they still to this day enjoy whatever draft work you can give them. The breeds talents are tracking, herding, watch, guarding, search & rescue, carting, and competitive obedience.

I am going to have to say no. While I love Bernese Mountain Dogs, they are big and playful and need room to run and use the energy that these dogs have.

If you already have the dog and don't plan on spending a long period of time in an apartment I wouldn't get rid of the dog. If you are going to be there for a while, I would consider finding a new home for your dog.

The best thing to do is to pull out your phone book and look up dog groomers. Call them and get their prices. It also depends on the dog's coat condition. If he or she is matted and very dirty then the price might go up. Just call around and see what prices are being charged. Also you might want to ask your Veterinarian what groomer he would recommend in your area.

Alot. I have one and she drools every 20 minutes. But maybe yours might not drool alot.

Bernese Mountain dogs are really hard to get hold of, however alot of farms breed them, so you might find some there. Girls are usually around £800-£900 to buy, and the boys are around £700 (: hope this helps.

In my experience the females are nicer, the male in my case was not aggressive or anything but the females were more peaceful, quieter and loving. But there were 4 female dogs and 1 male dog so that could influence it. I have known a few Bernese where the females were reserved and cautious and the males were easy going and friendly. I think it depends on the individual personality of each dog, and the socialisation of them.

The Labrador Retriever is in the AKC Sporting Group.

Male Bernese Mountain Dogs are usually 25 to 27½ inches tall at the shoulder and weigh 85 to 110 pounds.

Bitches (females) are usually 23 to 26 inches tall at the shoulder, and weigh 80 to 105 pounds.

as many as possible as long as they as the dog is kept fit and healthy. Illness can make the puppies have problems when born, so just be careful.

I think a good name for a bernese mountain dog is Rumbo like on the movie Fluke:) Other names may include, Sam, Pup, Dee, Bea im not that good at names but i would love to have a bernese mountain dog called Rumbo:D

Generally, yes. Bernese Mountain Dogs are somewhat large and tend to have longer, thicker fur which enables them to conserve body heat better.

However, dogs are a bit like people and are acclimated to the climate where they were born and have spent their life. A Bernese Mountain Dog born and raised in a warm climate may not take as well to cold climates as one that was born in and/or has lived an area that does incur cold.

my Bernese Mountain dog which is a male weights around 7-8 stone! and for his breed that is quite small, and he's no bigger than 3 foot. however my nans dog (girl) is much smaller in weight and size.

yes they get along well with other dogs As with all dogs, for them to get along, it is important that they are socialised with other dogs throughout their puppyhood. This allows them to learn the dog body language. The first place they learn this is from their mother, and the first 8 weeks are critical for this. Bringing friendly dogs to their home while they are still young helps them to realise that visiting dogs can be friends, not a territory challenge. Taking them out to parks to meet other dogs on neutral territory is also important. The more any dog meets other dogs the less excited it will be and the more likely to behave. Remember, as you are their pack leader, they will take their cue from you as to how to behave. So relax and they will too.

"Burmese Mountain Dog" is two things:

1) A corruption of "Bernese Mountain Dog", a large and gentle Swiss farm dog, bred to pull carts, do some guard work and as a companion dog.

2) A mythical dog from Myanmar that does not exist. One version is that it is Asia's famed Skunk Hunter. See links below for more.

Yes, the Bernese Mountain Dog sheds more than average, hence they are not recommended as pets for those who are allergic to dogs or dislikes shedding.
