Bernese Mountain Dog Breed Information
The Bernese Mountain dog is a working dog of Swiss origin. The Swiss name for the breed is 'Berner Sennenhund'. They were used to pull the carts of the dairy farmers and served as companions and guardians on the farms.
Males are 59 - 69 cm at the withers, females 56 - 66 cm and weights are in the range of
32 - 50 kg. The breed is stocky, large-boned and well balanced. The coat is of medium length, thick, soft and has a natural sheen.
The temperament of this breed is, without doubt, its greatest attribute, and a Bernese Mountain Dog’s personality will develop full and ideally only if the dog is allowed lots of human companionship. Typically, the Bernese forms strong attachments to the human family.
Striking and distinctive in appearance, he is a totally natural dog. He is hardy, loyal, and eager to please -- an ideal companion dog!

| Heidiland's Bianca Tessa vom Zuegholz - Schauinsland’s Akim We sadly lost our beloved Bianca during the birth of her first puppies. She gave us 8 beautiful puppies from "Basko v. Hofacher" from Bearcreek Berners. Our biggest "Thank you" goes to Brigitte and Jack from Bearcreek Berners and their wonderful female "Camona" who has fostered our little puppies. We could not have done this without you! The puppies have all gone to great, loving homes. Thank you everybody. |

"We met some great people, some became dear friends through our Llamas and dogs and finally, we felt at home, even if our Swiss accent will always be a part of us!" says Ruth Zimmerman of Sunrise Ranch.
