A Berner might be for you if:
You want a companion dog and have lots of love to give your pet
You spend a lot of time at home You have young children (Berners are known to love children) You like to relax with your dog You are forgiving about shedding You have space for a large dog You like to play in the snow You can commit to training your dog to obey you. You like dogs with "good looks" :) |
A Berner might not be you if:
You plan on your dog living in an outdoors kennel area or dog run
Nobody in your family spends a lot of time at home (Berners really need their humans) You want a hunting, retrieving or jogging dog You are obsessive compulsive in keeping your home dog hair free You live in a tight home and easily feel overcrowded (Berners get large) You live in a hot climate and cannot offer cool shade to your dog You don't believe in dog training (you wouldn't want a large dog to make all the rules) You can't afford the costs of a large dog (food, vet care, etc) |
