Bernese Mountain Dogs are outdoor dogs at heart, though well-behaved in the house; Bernese Mountain Dogs need activity and exercise, but do not have a great deal of endurance. They can move with amazing bursts of speed for their size when motivated. If they are sound (no problems with their hips, elbows, or other joints) they enjoy hiking and generally stick close to their people. The Bernese Mountain Dog temperament is a strong point of the breed. Bernese Mountain Dogs are affectionate, loyal, faithful, stable and intelligent. We have a lovely selection of Bernese Mountain Dog Gift Items including Bernese Mountain Dog Cushions, Bernese Mountain Dog Throws, Bernese Mountain Dog Doormats and Bernese Mountain Dog Bags.
