The Bernese Mountain Dog is a large and majestic breed known for its striking appearance, gentle nature, and strong working heritage. Originating from Switzerland, they were originally bred as farm dogs to work as all-around utility dogs, pulling carts, guarding property, and even herding cattle.

Bernese Mountain Dogs have a strong and well-proportioned body with a dense double coat that is long and silky. Their coat comes in distinctive tri-color markings, including a jet black base with white on the chest, face, and feet, and rust-colored markings on the cheeks, eyebrows, and legs.
