A Swiss breed originally used as a search and rescue dog as well as a draft dog, this working breed weighs in at 70 – 130 pounds and stands 23 - 28 inches tall at the shoulders (withers). Today the breed makes for a great companion and is also utilized as a service dog due to their intelligence, tolerance, and adaptability.
The BMD or Bernie as he is affectionately referred to, is a big, teddy bear of a dog that is loving and devoted to his family and especially tolerant of children. Large and lumbering, this breed does well in both suburban and rural environments. The Bernese Mountain Dog does best when he is a part of the family, enjoying outdoor activities. He is best suited to cooler temperatures both indoors and out.
The coat on the Bernie is medium length and sheds moderate too high. The coat is easy to maintain through the regular use of a stiff brush to prevent matting along with the occasional bath. The beautiful coloring and markings are known as Tricolor which is a combination of a black coat both white and rust colored markings/trimmings on the face, legs, tail, and chest.
