"bred to work in the swedish winter" - To my knowledge the Bern in Switzerland is the only one ;) funny how often Switzerland and Sweden are confused with each other ^^
I studied the breed when my golden was 7. she passed away at 11. 4 years later still found this dog perfect. I found they are calmer then goldens. I wanted a dog I can take camping every weekendand come with me to the farm everyday. Our puppy was calm from day one now 4 months she never barks only at play time. she is so good camping already does not wonder away even around other people or dogs and will just lay down in the hay at the farm and is great in the crate as she had to get use to it for 7 week of great rest from falling off step and when I am home she like to sleep in the bavkyard and chew on bones and has yet to chew any stuff animals lucked out with her for sure and mad fast learners
I had one we called "Heidi" and all of this is completely true. The thing that's left out is that in their older years they do have hip problems and that obviously does affect them. But yes, they are the perfect and versatile dog, really loving too. She lived over their usual life span to about 13 years.
Have a female that is 6 months old. She is happiest when being engaged by someone in the family. If she's awake she wants to play. I know alot of breeds are like this but the BMD we have is a true stage 5 clinger.
Great jpb.!!! Its awesome how you explained everything.. my wife and i are going to buy 2 GREATER SWISS MOUNTIAN PUPPYS THIS NEXT YEAR IN 2024. WE CANT WAIT.!! LOOKING FORWARD TO ALL YOUR VIDEOS COMMING UP.❤❤ JOHN,BURNSVILLE, MINNESOTA U.S.A
I've had three female Berners. They were very awesome and lovely dogs. Oldest, Milla was a bit stubborn, the second, Jutta was steaming full power ahead and the youngest, Maikki, died guite young. I miss them all. Ideally fitting loyal family dogs, but health is sometimes questionable. You had to chose breeder very carefully. Various cancers are killing 'em and hip problems are usual. I know, when my time comes, they all are waiting me in the other side, with my deceased cats...
Really? There is some misinformation here. We have a Berner and researched the breed extensively before adding one to our family. Without a doubt this is an awesome dog. They are fantastic companions and you haven't experienced canine love until you have a 50kg dog flop on your lap. This is an awesome breed and we cannot be happier. It's going to be Berners for us from here on in. That being said I find it hard to believe this channel is from dedicated Berner breeders/trainers. A Berner tends to bond with a single family member. They are great with all other members of their pack but only have a single person they are devoted to. And they are very suspicious of strangers. A Berner is not aggressive with strangers but they are reserved with anybody outside of their family unit. Also, as noted by other commenters, this is a Swiss breed. It is not Swedish.
Absolutely. Certainly not high activity dogs either, more slow and steady. Our Berner girl bonded with me and was a loyal, lovely friend who was more like one of my children. Smart as a whip and had a sixth sense and could read my mind and mood. Just had to put her down from cancer last month. Will get another Berner after a bit, love this breed
I am so glad you said this! I have a 10 month old male Mt Bernese. He is 105lbs and loves to try and sit on my lap! I freaking LOVE him! Never had a better dog!
That's my experience. Our berner loves everyone in the family but she's my dog... or I'm hers. I work from home so she's with me the most and I'm the source of her food and treats.
I got mine to cart Skijor in winter (we weren't the fastest...but we were the best looking in the race) But the best trick was..."find your boy" And he'd run off to find my son...very handy at the cabin
You have to discipline them from puppyhood. They want to know what is allowed and not. Sadly, a certain percentage are given up age 1-2 bcz the master wouldnt discipline them. An undisciplined one is 120 pound monster jumping on people or threatening them.
Mine was smart enough & loving enough I never HAD to discipline him. In his 11yrs he put me before anything or anyone. I promise they know all about your character.
@@suehowery1286 " i promise you they know all about your character" what a great statement. I agree 100%. So often, i think how much he is a mirror of me. When i say discipline, I mean verbal discipline. A strong NO is all you need. But they need to know what is not allowed (ie:jumping on people, biting their jackets, etc.)
@@fdllicks My Bernese was a one person dog. I was his person. Fortunately I had no behavior problems with him. He's the only Bernese I ever had. I just didn't have problems with him 🙂 So I guess some people do. What a great dog I had..he was so different from any dogs I owned. I loved them all but this Bernese stood out. I love him & miss him so. Thanks for the comment.
When I clicked on this video, I may have thought it was going to be about why bernese mountain dogs should get an A. Like, as a grade. Something about the font gave me that impression. xD
@@madginger3634 yes but she's been getting out of it because of age but some of hers live to around 12. Ours was one of her last. She still shows them tho
Apart from bulldogs, bernese dogs are the ones with the most health problems in my experience. Everything from physical ailments to allergies, anxiety etc etc. They are popular where i live and the dog parks i frequent, almost every one i’ve come across have problems or die fairly young...

My now 2.8yrs old 50.3kg/110 and love walk 10/15/20km and stil like walk more and i do live in appartement. ua-cam.com/video/RLDuJdZ7hOU/v-deo.html And love big loges. ua-cam.com/video/Ii67kZXEvyQ/v-deo.html I see alot on reddit people try get there BMD big fast and that big problem. I like big bmd to but his healt is more important then gis size. Big dogs need grow slow and not fast so there bones get strong. Other problem now days is people try make big dogs bigger. Normaal size for BMD is 50kg/110 but now days thy go up 60kg/ 132lbs or more and that to big for BMD.

Omg we also had a Bernese named "Heidi " . She passed away at age 10 few years back . We missed her so much.
We just received our beautiful 9 week old male Bernese mountain dog.👍👍 his name is Casper and yes, he is very friendly..
If you want a lap dog, this dog is for you. Go big or go home.

I think so too😇
They look wonderful but I live where the summers can be hot. Perhaps a little too much shedding also.
Have a female one, which is very active. I call her sometimes being a husky with the wrong coat on.😂
How is a Berner/ White Shepherd mix do as a pet
Yes, it is suitable as a family dog, as long as the dog gets enough exercise.

How can Sweden and Switzerland get confused. 🙀😂😅
Bernese Mountain Dog is a family dog and not a working dog (of course there is somewhere) , But nowadays a hobby/family dog, Also🥰
I got mine to cart
Skijor in winter (we weren't the fastest...but we were the best looking in the race)
But the best trick was..."find your boy"
And he'd run off to find my son...very handy at the cabin

Swedish winters 🧐
Bred in Bern, Sweden, the more you know.
I love berners. I wish I could rescue one. I don't have 1800 dollars.
Over 6 months it's $70 a week. Set up a savings account😊
Swedish winters.... I'd be happier if you'd said Swiss.... Being Swedish myself, I know quite easily the difference 😂
Wow and the fellow in the video is a Brit! He should know the diff!
Is there such a thing as a miniature burnese dog
I wish...I guess that is where the Bernedoodles come in...
I LIKE IT
Blink please Joe. The Bernese is not doing well today with few dogs living past 7.
All depends on the breeder
@@madakee1054 Do you know any breeders with longer lived dogs? please
@@madginger3634 yes but she's been getting out of it because of age but some of hers live to around 12. Ours was one of her last. She still shows them tho
@@madakee1054 what kennel? Please

Thanks for this video now I am quite sure I will stay away from Bernese.

I see alot on reddit people try get there BMD big fast and that big problem. I like big bmd to but his healt is more important then gis size.
Big dogs need grow slow and not fast so there bones get strong.
Other problem now days is people try make big dogs bigger. Normaal size for BMD is 50kg/110 but now days thy go up 60kg/ 132lbs or more and that to big for BMD.
