Bernese mountain dogs
Tricolor Alpine breed
Bernese mountain dogs are large, sturdy working dogs originally bred in the Swiss Alps for herding cattle and pulling carts.
They have distinctive tricolor coats—black with white chest markings and rust-colored accents—and a calm, affectionate temperament.
Known for their gentle disposition with children, they make loyal family pets despite relatively short lifespans.
Our Bernese mountain dog loves the snow.
