Bernese Mountain Dog

Bernese Mountain Dog

The Bernese Mountain Dog is another breed who prefers being in the snow.  They hail from the Swiss Alps and were originally kept as farm dogs.  This breed officially began in 1907 yet it took until 1937 for the American Kennel Club to recognize it as part of the Working Group.

While they adore being outside, they are also well-behaved inside.  Their size requires activity and exercise but they have more sprint than stamina.  If they don’t have any joint issues, they love to hike.  Without enough exercise, they tend to bark and harass others.
