Do Bernese mountain dogs have double dewclaws in the hind quarters?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Bernese Mountain Dog is not a breed known for having double dew claws, and for showing all the dew claws are usually removed. Breeds that are desired to have double dew claws on their hind legs are Beauceron's, Briard's, Pyrenean Mountain Dog's/Great Pyrenees and Lundehund's. Although some Bernese Mountain Dog's may be born with extra dew claws, they should be removed if the Dog is to be shown as some judges may class this as a fault.

Would a Bernese Mountain Dog or a Golden Retriever be a better dog for beginners?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Both the Bernese Mountain dog and the Golden Retriever would make a great dog for a beginner. Bernese Mountain dogs tend to shed less but are slightly less social around strangers than the Golden. The Golden does require more trimming/clipping than the Bernese however they are easier to train and don't grow to be giant like the Bernese. Both of these dogs are just about equal so whichever one you choose is going to be determined by your own personal preference.

In all technicalities, you can. Dogs can breed with any other dog, provided they are fertile, and even some other non-dog species like coyote.

However, that's not to say you shouldbreed your dog. There's a lot of risk, bothfinanciallyand in health wise when breeding dogs, especially when breeding mutts that you can not predict.

Is there anyway you can get a bernese mountain dog that stays small forever?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The breed, Bernese Mountain Dog, was not bred to be small. Why do you want a small one? Obviously you don't want this particular breed then. Find yourself a small dog that you do like. If you want this breed then you have to like the entire breed as it was meant & bred to be. This is a working breed & not bred to be small or it could not function.
