The Bernese

    A bernese mountain dog is a wonderful and good-natured dog. The BMD easy adapt in new situations and environments and takes most things calm. A bernese should be stable, not frightened and devoted with level temperament. I think that a bernese is a bit like Winnie the Poh, nice and kind-hearted with a wonderful, cuddly personality. Doesn't  always think so fast, but have a heart of gold! It takes a bit more time for a BMD to understand obedience element in the beginning of the learning period then for a toller, but in return the BMD is more reliable to always accomplish the things that they have learned, instead of finding out new ways to do the things like a toller can do.
    In most cases a bernese neither have instinct to struggle or hunting, and that can be good to think of from the beginning to build up an interest for objects early with the puppy  to make the training easier. The BMD should stay on the yard by itself and not run away on own adventures, so for that reason it is good that the hunting instinct almost is non- existent. A bernese should be a multifaceted dog, possible to use to many things, if you want a dog to work with and in the same time wants a calm and cosy family dog, the bernese can be a good choice. Their size can of some persons experience as a disadvantage, but with the good-natured, calm and cosy temperament a bernese have, I don´t think it is a problem at all. Possibly when they want to sit on the lap...
Like the toller and the cavalier, the bernese is a real life- enjoying- dog that really knows how to enjoy life!
