Find Bernese Mountain Dog gifts at the Forest Cottage.
The Bernese Mountain Dog
arrived in Switzerland along with the ancient Roman soldiers. They are large dogs at 25 inches high and weigh about 85 pounds. They are strong and muscular. The coat is thick and black. There are patches of light brown on the upper legs and also above the eyes. The white chest blaze is edged with light brown. The facial mask may be white and also the feet and tip of the tail.
These energetic dogs are attentive and can be impetuous. They do not have a tendency to bite. They are loyal to their master and are suspicious of strangers.
These dogs were used by the ancient Romans as fighting dogs. Armed with heavy iron studded collars, they were sent into battle. They made excellent herd dogs in those times and still do today. They are full of energy and their heavy coat makes them resistant to the coldest winters, but they are not well suited to warm climates. These beautiful dogs are intelligent and loyal.
