The sweetest souls to walk the earth...Bernese Mountain Dogs

[@pleochrome]

He’s like someone took a colouring page of a Golden Retriever but coloured it in as a Bernese Mountain Dog.

[@thelaughinghyenas8465]

That could be a very good thing. Hopefully he will have a long and healthy Golden Retriever life with a great Bernese Mountain Dog attitude.

[@Nikki-tx6kh]

Well, she said, Bernese mix, he might also have some Retriever on him. The face is kinda more Retriever than Bernese.

[@Theendgamelv3]

It's a "Nana" dog. They along with Newfies and St. Bernards are so wonderful with children. I call these kinds of dogs "Nana" dogs due to Peter Pan. Also they are very affectionate from what I know too and just seem like big loveable goofs.

This is indeed such a kind wonderful breed. When I was struggling with my mental health and stayed in a hospital for a bit, they had two Bernese Mountain dogs as therapy dogs. They were such sweet fluff balls.

[@stevencorey7702]

Emmett:"It's not that I'm nervous. It's just that the food to shampoo ratio is lacking. Going to speak to management about this..."🤔

[@gloweye]

We used to have a Bernese Mountain Dog, and when it rained, we always tried to dry him off a bit to keep the house clean. And he always smushed his face into the towels that exact same way. We always thought it was because he'd have water in his eyes and was irritated by it. And yeah, a Bernese leaning into you with all his weight can be a surprising amount of force. I don't think I need to tell you that a big, cuddly dog can knock you over by accident if you don't pay attention.

[@Nabinut]

I'm far from a dog person but there's a Bernese Mountain Dog in my neighborhood that I just have to stop and pet every time he's in their yard. Almost makes me want to get one.

[@dostayer3369]

Yep, I have to agree about the Berners, unfortunately I had to let mine go a couple of months ago and he would've been 11 next week if he survived. Miss him so much... In the latter half of his life he was used as a Therapy dog (in the first half he was a crazy dog) for children, elderly and other dogs and was only really trained at the age of 5 and in the end he excelled in obedience. Older dogs can learn new tricks, might take some time, but they absolutely can...

I wish I could have a BMD. They are easily my favorite breed. I'm personally torn about the ethics of having a dog that is so short-lived with such regular, serious health problems though. I would never presume to say definitively that no one should have one, it's just a personal dilemma. It's along the same lines as people who breed dogs that are genetically likely to have trouble breathing. This good boy, and BMD's in general, are such beautiful dogs and wonderful companions.

[@rridderbusch518]

Emmet is *mostly* BMD. "Purebreds" are often so inbred that they suffer. Our Beagle was a bit American Foxhound and she was healthy for 20+ years. Her bit of AF made her extra pretty! People would literally pull their cars over and ask about her. They'd all say, "That's the prettiest Beagle I've ever seen!"

[@hypnoteapot]

I grew up with these dogs and none lived older than 8, sadly. They are great companions but indeed really fragile. 😢

[@rridderbusch518]

[@Undomaranel]

That's why mixes are a thing. They're not always accidents at the holidays, but intentionally diversifying the gene pool. I always found the Goldshaw farm 'episode' funny where he finally got the DNA results for Abby and compared them to Toby (livestock guardian dogs, maremmas). Spoilers: He had to give up on the idea of breeding them because despite Toby being from the Midwest and Abby being a Cali girl... they're cousins.

Me and my parents have and had Bernese, my parents still have one, a rescue this time, the others we had from Puppy stage. Our oldest Berner got to 14 years old, which is quite impressive since the average is 7 to 10 years. He was the best dog to wish for and in my youth helped me through bullying and depression. One time I was so sad and he came and snuggled up to and wouldn't even let my mom get close to comfort me his coat was wet from my tears but he stayed firmly on my lap till I calmed down. Even our than puppy female who normally he let do anything to him had to learn the hard way that at this time coming close was a big no. Even after that he would stay close to me the whole evening until I got to bed.

Thank you, I find just watching the grooming process to be soothing, I have PTSD and severe depression, so I am considering a Service Dog.

Best wishes to you, Steve. ❤ After my brother-in-law died, nothing could get my sister's 3 young teenaged sons (and her) out of depression, until they got a labradoodle puppy. Then, despite the intense grief, there was also joy, and smiles, and unconditional LOVE, freely given by that lovely canine soul. A dog will certainly help - the exercise from the daily walks and playtime will help lift your mood, the absolute love and joy and acceptance they give, and the love and care that YOU give to THEM - your heart and psyche will heal... Again, best wishes, Steve! ❤

Oh man, this hits home. Just had to give my bernese x collie up. She was the perfect dog. So chill at times yet so clever and easy to train. Although when she was excited/ not stimulated enough, she was basically a tank with ADHD. Shes with a wonderful family, though. That's all I can ask for

[@firbolg]

I can say I was partially raised by a Bernese Mountain dog. 😂 He was the sweetest and gentlest of giants. He would be happy to lay down next to me while I read a book in the woods behind my parent's house. He would even serve as impromptu pillow... and was the most patient and chill dog I could wish for as a small boy back then. Unfortunately, my parents got divorced and I was separated from my friend and my father then went on to abuse him. Still feel guilty nowadays even If I know that there wasn't much I could do as a kid. In the country we used to live, animal welfare was not a priority. As my way to redeem myself, I'm trying to fight my anxiety and PTSD and go to the local kennel to go for a stroll with the local doggos. Unfortunately my current home doesn't allow pets of any kind so I can't adopt. Soon...

[@littlecatfeet9064]

I’m so sorry about losing your friend and him being abused. You have nothing to feel guilty about. But definitely helping dogs out at the shelter would benefit you. I used to walk the shelter dogs and it was a great experience. I couldn’t adopt at the time.
