Want!!!!

I met a pair of elderly ones about two years ago, and instantly fell in love. They'd both got the breed's trait, of leaning against you when you stroke them, in abundance. I've since seen a younger one out around my town, but haven't yet worked out who the owner is, because it'd normally stood waiting outside shops being minded by a girl about the same height...

I have little to add about Bernese Mountain Dogs, but after your comment about the leaning I felt compelled to say that Great Pyrenees do the same thing :)

Too bad they only have a life expectancy of 6-8 years :(

He will grow to the size of a small rhinoceros, but he'll still be cute.

good call - of course you need eyes better than mine but it's certain readable to younger Redditors!

My thoughts exactly...

I'm taking a mental note on that breed's name. I want one!

Keep in mind they get very large, and the shedding borders on ridiculous. They're super friendly, though.

I've always wanted a big dog. Depends how big though, I'll have to look at some pictures. Shedding can be a pain though, but definitely not a huge deal. Super friendly is a mega bonus. I want a dog to be my best pal, and friendly to everyone around me.

This is definitely the one for you, then. They're not Great Dane big, but they're bigger than your average dog by a noticeable margin.

I met a nearing-adulthood Bernese last winter. It loved everybody. Super cuddly. Took me three days to get all the fur out of my clothes.

Sweet jeepers. We petsit my brother/sister-in-law's Alsatian Anatolian shepherd sometimes. Delightful giant doleful-eyed oaf of a dog, but he turns dark carpet blonde outside of five minutes. Last time I vacuumed him every day for a week and finally got it under control just in time to send him home. ed: wrong kind of dog.

DREwelsh•

Yeah we have a creme carpet in our living room but between cleans it turns completely black.

My black tri Aussie leaves fur tumbleweeds that float across our all tile floor.

Are they best friends? I just got a Bernese and I'm thinking once she's about a year and a half I want to get a Newfie as well

1
DREwelsh•

Well they are both rescues with some health and behavioral issues so they are not really best friends but they get along most of the time.

Edit: spelling

Second the want! Just wish I had space for one in my apartment.

That dog is going to chew on your furniture, dig through the rubbish bin and cover your house in hair, and you won't be able to stay angry at him for more than few minutes. Stupid cute dogs ruining my anger...

I can't tell if you're trolling or just blatantly wrong: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernese_Mountain_Dog

Burma's not exactly the kind of place to have thick coated mountain dogs.

I used to think Burmese too but it's Bernese, sorry
