What type of dog do you suggest? & info on Bernese Mountain dogs?
I’m trying to figure out what type of dog me and my fiance should get. We want a family oriented dog that is good with babies & little children. We were thinking of a Bernese Mountain dog, but we need more info on them.
To anyone who owns a Bernese, what are they like around children? How easy are they to train? Are they violent? & anything else you could think of!
Thanks <3
We have a Bernese Mountain Dog aka Brener
She’s two and is wonderful with children. They are super friendly and easy to train, sometimes the breed can be a little sensitive and require firm but gentle training. If someone is unfamiliar to the breed I often say they are comparable to the gentle golden retriever.
Definitely family oriented and the most dangerous thing about them is their coffee table clearing tail…haha They are a happy dog, always smiling and if you walk out of the room for a moment they are always thrilled to see you again!
My sister also has one, and I have heard many say they are like frito lays chips, betcha can’t a have just one! Although it is difficult to train two while in the same room, I have met several families who have more than one. They are super with other dogs and pets of a variety. They, like many other larger breeds are prone to hip dysplacia but we kept her on a good brand to promote a slower growth rate with extra protection for their joints.( we fed her “chicken soup for the large breed dog lover’s soul” ~ sounds like a mouthful but it is a great brand for a good price with positive results.)
I often joke that I’m going to bathe her in “neet hair removal” any that the carpet of fur on my hardwood floor would be the only downside! I don’t brush her obsessively but certainly give her some extra attention when she’s shedding which is usually twice a year, following winter and a lighter moult coming into fall again.
My husband enjoys playing a little rougher with her, she adores him. Our son has both snugly moments and races around the yard with her. And she loves long walks, jogging or bicycling, but aren’t necessarily highly energetic dogs. I know a senior who has a male and rarely exercises.
The are like chameleon… excitable when you are… relaxed when you are, sad when you are. She is happy to met anyone new and would likely prance around wagging her tail if a burglar came into the house… but you can train them to bark on command, and it is a good firm bark. They are ordinarily quiet natured and not known as a barking breed.
