Bernese Mountain Dog

by Linda Rehkopf

Overview

Ranking #39 in dog registrations by the American Kennel Club (AKC), the Bernese Mountain Dog was developed as a farm and draft dog. But the Berner's outgoing personality is one of the most-loved aspects of the breed. Once this affectionate, playful, and gentle canine bonds with his person or family, he will do anything to make them feel secure and happy. Along with complete coverage of breed-specific care, this comprehensive guide will cover all the activities this versatile working dog would enjoy participating in with you, including conformation, obedience, carting, agility, tracking, herding, and therapy work—or just a long, lumbering walk that ends with a big "Berner hug."
