Saint Bernese

First couple weeks he was VERY mouthy and nipped a lot! Confidence is through the roof and he also is very vocal and gives us "sass" when he doesn't get his way or doesn't understand a new command. After a couple weeks he already eased off on the biting. He loves learning commands, he now knows "sit, stay, wait, place, crate, bow, and heel". SO friendly with people and loves every dog we meet. He gets brushed every day. At 4 months he weighs 42lbs. Absolutely adore him and his spanking personality

Bausy (from Scottish parlance for big clumsy animal) is the best,most loving dog we’ve ever owned. He’s nearly 120 pounds of goofy, playful, intelligence! We couldn’t ask for a better dog, although even though he understands and can execute every command, sometimes he’s stubborn and we can end up with a battle of wills! His feelings are often easily hurt, too. So it’s best to correct by redirecting rather than scolding. Beautiful dogs with a very loving nature. Highly recommended, even though they can be goofy and whimsical.

This dog is so much more stubborn than we wanted. She is also a giant ball of bull in a China shop when she gets excited. But she is perfect for our family. We have a 4yr old and a 1.5yr old and they could lay on her all day and she wouldn't move. She is so gentle with them. She sheds like.....insane but she doesn't mind being brushed so thank god I don't have to hold her down. She hates having her nails trimmed and finally has settled at the groomers enough that no one has to be there with the groomer to help. She loves to be part of whatever we are doing and is happy as long as she is with us. We love her!!

We love our baby bear! He is 8.5 months old, sitting at 110 lbs (he grew SO fast). He has a gorgeous trifecta coat almost exactly as a BMD. Our boy is a very happy, friendly, and energetic puppy. When I say energetic, I mean that this dude gets the ZOOMIES, he runs around my little cottage house like a horse in and out of every room 12 times, it's humorous. He gets SO excited to be with us that he likes to slip out the front door and circle the car with hopes of coming with us. He follows me absolutely everywhere, including the bathroom. He loves laying on my feet while I cook as well. There is no doubt in my mind that he would ever hurt a fly, however, his size can be painful itself. I've been knocked over plenty of times with his excitement. I have noticed some stubbornness from him, mostly when I am telling him to come back inside from playing in the yard. I will say some of the stubbornness is decreasing with time though. He is SO MOUTHY, he loves to have our hands or arms sitting in his mouth. He isn't biting, just holding our hands. Apparently that is a very common trait, both his mother and father have. I took the positive reinforcement approach to training him, as recommended, and I feel as though it isn't quite enough. I end up rolling up a newspaper and popping him or a surface to startle him every now and then, but generally I stay patient and calmly tell him demands then love on him tons when he listens. As far as health and grooming, He has had a couple of allergy issues on his skin. We live in Louisiana so it's pretty hot for him and we limit his outdoor time but he tends to get irritated hot spots. I am no vet, but I rub coconut oil on his spots and it has worked every time. I also catch it pretty quickly because I groom him and check his body while playing at least 2-3 times a week! Last thing, the dude loves sticks, he has tried to bring branches in the house countless times.

I got mine from a woman who breed the two, was trying to sell and when people weren’t buying them, was going to bring to the pound. Daphne was 4 mounths old when I got her. I had a Bernese mtn dog at home and I had lost her mom a couple of months earlier. Daphne and Atty were instant family with each other. Sadly, I lost Atty last August and it’s been only Daphne since. She is the most lovable dog you can meet. She goes to work with me every day and is as happy as can be as long as she’s with me.

This breed is the best combination of both breeds. She is active, silly, and just loves life and everything about it! She is very social and loves meeting people and other animals. She is always happy. We have 6 grandchildren and she is so gentle and sweet with all of them.

He is an amazing puppy loves to be playful outside and also loves being cuddled on the couch and relaxing.

Ginger is a very smart, sensitive, expressive, loyal and intuitive soul. She loves people...after getting to know them for a few minutes. Except for the excessive shedding, she is the best dog We have had!

Beaux has been amazing. He has been the easiest dog to train. I have two older dogs and he has been great with them. He is shy with new people and very protective already. Super playful but also cuddly and lazy at times. He is very sensitive so he doesn’t like to get in trouble which has worked out good for me lol

A gentle giant, rolling thunder, car ride lover

Penny is without a doubt, the perfect dog. She is an excellent companion, just as happy to go out with you or curl up on the couch and watch a movie together. She is stubborn and independent, but also a people pleaser. Not always the easiest to train, but only because she has a mind of her own. She loves people and "understands" children even though we don't have any. She'll lean into any adult and beg for pets, but has never pushed a child around. Unlike what it says here, she's a great apartment dog. Might not do well on a really small unit (she IS big), but she seems to be very happy in our 3bdrm place. I'm really not doing my girl justice here. There's nothing like the feeling of being greeted at the door after a long day by the biggest, goofiest, most loving (and loved) ball of fur. Or having her hop on the bed and cuddle up together at night. She does shed quite a bit, and drool a lot, but a little mess is more than worth the love and joy she has brought into our home

Chief is a bit of a mutt but Bernese Mountain dog and Saint Bernard are his most dominant breeds. He's a gentle, sensitive, affectionate and lovable soul. He loves everyone and everything. Gets along well with our cats although he finds it hard to leave them alone. Has always been very calm, even when he was a puppy. He's very energetic outdoors but a complete couch-potato indoors. Loves to cuddle and hugs. Dislikes being alone. He's very intelligent but can be incredibly stubborn. Can take time to teach him new tricks since he has that "What's in it for me?" attitude. Took a long time for him to learn recall (or more like not to ignore me) but he's made major improvements. If he finds something interesting outdoors however it can be very hard to get his attention. He's still very eager to please, you just have to be very consistent. Positive reinforcement is a must as he is very sensitive. We live out in the woods where he can roam around freely without a leash. He walks well with a leash too but I only use it occasionally while training. He loves exploring and run around in the woods. He often picks up trees and large sticks as he's rather obsessed with them. Thrives in snowy cold weather. Has a crazy good nose and loves to sniff everything. Could possibly become an excellent tracker. I often bury treats in deep snow so he can search for them and dig em up. He loves it, and is incredibly good at it. He doesn't require a whole lot of exercise. He's energetic but lacks tons of stamina, so a good 30 minute walk is usually all he needs. After 60 minute walks he spends the rest of the day sleeping, more or less. He's fine with shorter walks provided he gets plenty of mental stimulation. He craves tons of affection and often leans in on people. He can be very clingy and has gotten incredibly attached to me which is a common trait with Bernese Mountain dogs. They get very close to one particular family member. He still loves everyone who visits us and gives them tons of love. He's very very sensitive and if I'm sick or feeling down he refuses to leave my side. He picks up on how you're feeling very quickly. He has an incredibly soft mouth too. He's extremely careful when you give him treats. You have to teach a lot of dogs to do that nicely but he's just a natural at that. As for health issues there has barely been anything. He's had a few problems with itchy ears but I just have to make sure to clean them regularly. He doesn't shed very much (except for seasonal shedding), and doesn't drool a whole lot either. I brush him once a week and his coat looks great. He's my best friend and wouldn't trade him for the world. He's an incredible dog.

He loves to lay around and chill out. Loves too cuddle!

Jett is an amazing part of our family!She is very gentle and calm and is fiercely protective of my 9 yr old. She loves kisses and hugs and continuous pets!! She is well trained and very smart! We love her so very much!!

We adopted our boy at 4 years old. He's a big, slobbery, clutz but we wouldn't trade him for the world! A great protector of our little dogs and our toddler.

She was a bit tough to house train, but other than that, and chewed everything that wasn't nailed down as a pup, but couldn't ask for a better dog. Out son was 3 when we got her, and we had an attitude ridden jerk cat, and a cat with serious PTST. My son crawled over her, played with her while she ate, no problems or concerns. She tolerated the jerk cat with occasional head bumps to put him in his place, and she bonded with PTSD kitty and they were best of friends until kitty died. Gentle, kind, protective by standing between her people and the unknown rather than showing any signs of aggression. We just put her down and when we are ready we will seek another.

Just getting through puppyhood. Rusty loves car rides but won’t get into the car on his own. He wolfe’s his food down in seconds and is growing like a weed. We say he has giraffe legs. He is very loving.
