Bernese Mountain Dog
Turning our attention to one of the big dog breeds, you will find this striking, beautiful, and sweet dog.
The Bernese Mountain dogs are known for their docile and placid nature, but they are also playful and would love to romp with their owner, to whom they’re loyal to a fault!
Known for its big and imposing stature, this sturdy worker dog stands at an impressive 27 inches at the shoulder.
Yet, it is not a size that should make you fear, as they are definitely known to be family pets. They love their owners and families but are known to be aloof and indifferent to strangers.
Originating from Switzerland, they were initially the brains and brawns of the mountain pastures, as they worked on farms and did all sorts of jobs.
Despite this, they are now known as gentle giants, as they get along marvelously with children and humans in general.
They have their signature silky, smooth, tricolored coats (that need daily maintenance), and know that they are going to thrive most in cold weather.
