Bernese Mountain Dog Breed Review by Nadine Dempsey

I have my first Berner now. I have found him to be the happiest dog I have ever owned. They are very loving. So many emotions displayed in his face. You will always know love with a Bernese.

Bernese Mountain Dog Breed Review by CC

The strongest bond I’ve ever had with a dog wasn’t actually one of my own, but my grandmother’s neighbor’s Bernese mountain dog when I was a little girl! However, that dog died at 5. The average life span of these dogs is 7. I can’t take that much heartbreak and would rather get a dog that will hopefully be with me for 15-16 years. If you’re dead set on Berner, I would recommend a mix.

Bernese Mountain Dog Breed Review by CC

I had a bond with this dog like no other dog I’ve ever owned. However, he died at 5. Average life span is 7 years. I will never get another because I can’t take that much heartbreak. I would rather have a dog that has a chance of being with me a good 15 or 16 years.

Bernese Mountain Dog Breed Review by Nicole

First Berner we have ever had, and the last breed we will ever have! Baxter is 8 months old now, and our family has never been so in love with an animal as we are with Baxter! He is literally the sweetest dog ever, and so incredibly cute!!!! He does the goofiest things, makes us laugh, and repeats the goofy behavior. I swear he does it on purpose....just love him to death :).

I had my Bella for 11.75 years. She was the most beautiful sole I have ever met. Even when he was hurting for one reason or another she never showed even a speck of aggression only love came from her.She was about 2 years old when my wife passed leaving me with 3 kids under 8. Bella was there for us until the day she passed.I will never get another breed of dog.

Bernese Mountain Dog Breed Review by Vicky C.

We have a 5.5 yo male Berner. (Between the hubby's fam & mine, we've had 8 different purebreds and mixes.) Our Berner is so awesome that we no longer want any other breeds. He has been amazing with our 4 yo & 2 yo daughters from birth. Berners are gentle giants for sure. He is fiercely loyal and a wonderful guard dog. The only thing I should warn potential owners of is that the Berner lines carry a higher than avg risk of cancer. We caught ours extremely early, choosing to pay for all the extensive testing (3k) due to my gut instinct. Marty was diagnosed was chronic lymphocytic leukemnia in May 2018. We elect to monitor his lymphocyte count with monthly blood work. 7 months later (Dec 2018), we are close but not yet ready treatment (thank goodness). In addition to cancer, when our Berner was a puppy at 4 months old, he knocked over our 2 yo niece and proceeded to swallow Ariel the little mermaid (2k for that surgery). He also loves mulch so we're on a constant lookout. Berners are very expensive (we've probably spent 10k+ on him), but they are the BEST breed for babies and young children. All they do is protect my 2 tots and shower them with kisses. The last thing my girls do before going to bed is to hug & kiss our boy. Knowing how much they truly cost and knowing that we're going to loose him sooner than originally expected, we would still do it over & over again. The breed is amazing; our boy is amazing; and we're close to adding another!

I first saw, and immediately wanted, a Berner over forty years ago. I have now been a human to them about ten years. Well worth the wait and am still in training, lol.

Bernese Mountain Dog Breed Review by Cheri Gorgol

I fell in love with this breed when I bought my first Berner back in 2010 & never looked back. I have one now & am looking to extend our Berner family in the near future. I will always have a Berner. My Murphy is the best dog, hands down, that I have ever had the good fortune to raise & love. I HIGHLY recommend this breed for a multitude of reasons. They are loyal, intelligent & have enormous hearts. Their capacity to connect with their humans is incredible. I can’t tell you how many times I have wondered if my Murphy was human. They pick on our cues so well. I do really wish they had less health problems. I had a 16 month old Berner pup who suddenly developed a sinus cancer & died less than 4 months. My almost 8 year old Murphy has lumps all over him & even though his vet says I don’t have anything to worry about, I do. With that being said, I love the breed and could not picture my life without one.

I have one and he is the sweetest thing ever. He is a gentle giant and loves to cuddle.

Bernese Mountain Dog Breed Review by Madison Kuzmiski

I have a Bernese myself they are really the sweetest dogs out there, my daughter is so in love. They make great family pets and are called the nanny dogs because they are the best with children. This dog is very laid back and will cuddle you but will also go on long walks and play with you in the backyard. If you would choose to have one yourself I strongly recommend you have a large house and large yard these dogs can grow over 100 pounds. I call them the gentle giant because they may be so huge but they are also so sweet!

Bernese Mountain Dog Breed Review by Terry Reilly

Back in early August I begged my dad for a bernese and he finally caved in. We got ours from looking on this website and I absolutely love my bernese he is 11 months now he is the most friendliest dog out there. It says obedience training is recommended but I'm 15 years old and I trained him all by myself and he is very intelligent. He loves to learn new things and I would highly recommend getting a Bernese cause they are the most loving dog out there

Bernese Mountain Dog Breed Review by Karlie

I bought my first bernese almost a year and a half ago. She is by far the best dog I have ever owned. I raised golden retrievers for 15 years before I looked into a bernese mountain dog. I will never have any other breed. They are loyal like a golden retriever with a lot more personality. They are goofy and sweet and extremely gentle and intelligent. My female was completely potty trained within two weeks of getting her at eight weeks. She had sit, speak, lay down, stay, come, and don\'t touch that down within the first month. Now she listens to me just with hand signals. They would make excellent service dogs as they are a little bigger to reach things and they are very loyal, confident around strangers, and easily trained. I highly recommend this breed for families as well. They are loyal without being too overprotective with strangers and such. They only real downsize (as long as you don\'t mind the shedding) is that they have a shorter life expectancy than a lot of other breeds.

Bernese Mountain Dog Breed Review by Dianne Charron

There is no sweeter dog than a Bernese Mountain Dog. They are very loyal. trusting and loving. They are wonderful with children. They are very gentle but can knock over toddlers by accident. They easy to groom as they do not need to be clipped. The only drawback is shedding. If you don\'t mind vacuuming daily...and an occasional hair in your butter...this is a perfect dog!

Bernese Mountain Dog Breed Review by korki

I just would like to know if they can become a wonderful service dog? I am physicaly disabled, but still also can walk. I ride a scooter to go to the store n which the dog would go also yto help me with things i can not reach well. Some balance ect. Are they good for this and how easy are they to train? Will be done by me in a training place. Do you suggest this breed for that reason? Thanks!

The Bernese Mountain Dog is an easy to train dog breed that originated from Switzerland. A member of the working class breed of canines, the "Berner" is easily recognized because of his sturdy frame and soft tri-colored coat. This dog was first recognized by the AKC in 1937 and continues to be a popular working dog. With the great personality they possess, a Bernese Mountain Dog Puppy will make a welcome addition to any family.
