Read MoreBernese Mountain Dogs, or "Berners", are an American Kennel Club (AKC) recognized breed with a rich history. From their origins in Switzerland pulling carts, driving cattle, and watching the farm, Berners have quickly become a favorite around the world for their affectionate, easygoing personalities.

Before you and your family decide to make a Berner part of your family, please take a moment to consider the strengths, weaknesses, and recommendations that will help you make an informed decision!
