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) 

What are you doing? Get off! You're supposed to pull this cart!
