Bernese Mountain Dog

We can only describe the Bernese Mountain Dog as a majestic and intelligent breed that is known for its calm and friendly demeanor, making them ideal for families with kids. Its name came from its place of origin, Switzerland’s Bern Canton. They boast a stocky figure and a tri-color, thick coat of black, rust, and white, which is perfect for cold weather.

The Bernese Mountain Dog was originally bred with strong legs for the mountainous terrain. They were also developed to be working pets, often guarding and herding on farms. According to Mental Floss, these beasts are very powerful because they can pull up to 1,000 pounds!
