The Bernese Mountain Dogs ("Berners") are working dogs with origins from the farm areas of Switzerland. The breed was rescued from near extinction by Professor Albert Heim around the turn of the century and the population of the breed has increased slowly since that time.

Bernese Mountain Dogs are large, heavy animals, tri-colored and thrive in cold weather. Although they are large ( 23-27.5 inches and 80-110 lbs) they have sweet characters and are outgoing, affectionate dogs who love children. Berners are versatile dogs that enjoy competition, obedience, agility, herding, pulling carts and tracking. Bernese Mountain Dogs are also known to be good therapy dogs bringing cheer to others. Although the dogs are versatile, they are individuals so they aren't good at every event!
