mountain dog
Large herding canine
Mountain dog refers to any of several large, sturdy dog breeds developed for work in mountainous regions—guarding livestock, pulling carts, or rescue operations.
The Bernese mountain dog, Greater Swiss mountain dog, and Saint Bernard are well-known examples.
These breeds share traits suited to cold, rugged terrain: thick coats, powerful builds, and calm temperaments.
Our Bernese mountain dog loves the snow.
