Can Bernese mountain dogs go for long walks without getting too hot?

Asked by Wiki User

Don't walk a Bernese Mountain Dog (or any dog that's sensitive to heat) during the hottest part of the day during the summer.

During that time of year strenuous exercise should be limited to early in the morning, or evenings, when it's cooler.

As far as I know, yes they can. It takes a special kind of dog, but if they have the will and drive those little balls will be swinging back and forth between their furry legs in no time at all!

Don't ever let someone else decide what is best for you - don't listen to others. Do what is right for you, what you think and what you want - be yourself, make your own mind up and be your own person. You will not get anywhere in life if you always worry about what others think and base what you are going to do on others opinions.

There are two ways to interpret this, either as a generic slang greeting in American English or a question about a particular yoga position.

In response to the generic slang greeting, the answer will depend upon who you ask and at what time you ask the question.

What things dogs don't likes?

Asked by Wiki User

It depends on the individual dog and doesn't matter what the breed (each one has their own personality.) Here are some things some dogs don't like: * Their owners yelling at them * Being abused physically * Being ignored and not given love or any attention * Not being fed or given fresh water * Loud noises * Unexpected noises * Riding in the car or truck (some dogs gets motion sickness) * Fear of water or just don't care for swimming in water. * Having a bath * Other dogs ... some dogs may be just 'people dogs' and prefer not to be around other dogs or they can be aggressive towards other dogs. * Aggressive towards other people. * Strangers on your property or near your vehicle or even your children. * Being left in a hot car * Being left out of family fun. Dogs can't go everywhere with the family but many dogs will pine for their owners and the family as a whole no matter how nice the kennel is that you put him/her in. These are a few, but the most common.

Do Bernese Mountain Dogs only come in black tan and white?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, all pedigree Bernese Mountain Dogs should be black, tan and white. Any other colours are considered ''faulty''. Here is an extract from the official Kennel Club breed standard about colour for this breed:

''Jet black, with rich reddish-brown on cheeks, over eyes, on all four legs and on chest. Slight to medium-sized symmetrical white head marking (blaze) and white chest marking (cross) are essential. Preferred but not essential, white paws, white not reaching higher than pastern, white tip to tail. A few white hairs at nape of neck, and white anal patch undesirable but tolerated.''
