The Bernese mountain dog originated in canton (state) of Bern, in the central region of Switzerland in the early 1900s.🇨🇭 Their ancestors believed to have been around on Swiss farms dating back two thousand years ago. They are one of the four types of Swiss mountain dogs (Sennenhund).
The Berners are large, sturdy, strong built, heavy, with thick, silky, long tricoloured coat. The BMDs are outdoor dogs at heart, alert, loyal, affectionate, cheerful, intelligent, calm, gentle giants with good-natured and mellow temperaments.
Did you know Bernese Mountain Dogs are incredibly strong and can pull up to 10 times their own weight (35 - 55kg)?🐾
