Adorable Cute Bernese Mountain Dog puppy
The breed
standard for the Bernese Mountain Dog states that dogs should not be
"aggressive, anxious or distinctly shy," but rather should be
"good-natured", "self-assured", "placid towards
strangers", and "docile". Temperament of individual dogs may vary,
and not all examples of the breed have been carefully bred to follow the
Standard. All large breed dogs should be well socialized when they are puppies,
and given regular training and activities throughout their lives.
Bernese are outdoor dogs at heart, though well-behaved in the house; they 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. Not being given the adequate amount of exercise may lead to barking and harassing in the Bernese.

Bernese
Mountain Dogs are a breed that generally does well with children, as they are extremely
affectionate. They are patient dogs that take well to children climbing over
them. Though they have great energy, a Bernese will also be happy with a calm
evening. Bernese work well with other pets and around strangers.
The Bernese's
calm temperament makes them a natural for pulling small carts or wagons, a task
they originally performed in Switzerland. With proper training they enjoy
giving children rides in a cart or participating in a parade, such as the
Conway, New Hampshire holiday parade. The Bernese Mountain Dog Club of America
offers drafting trials open to all breeds; dogs can earn eight different titles
— four as individual dogs (Novice Draft Dog, Advanced Novice Draft Dog, Draft Dog,
and Master Draft Dog) and four brace titles, in which two dogs work one cart
together. Regional Bernese clubs often offer carting workshops.
On July 1,
2010, the Bernese Mountain Dog became eligible to compete in AKC Herding
Events. Herding instincts and trainability can be measured at noncompetitive
herding tests. Berners exhibiting basic herding instincts can be trained to compete
in herding trials.
