HISTORY OF BERNESE MOUNTAIN DOGS..

Did you know the Bernese Mountain Dog’s history begins in the Swiss Alps, where it worked as a true all-purpose farm dog? 🇨🇭🏔️🐾

For centuries, these sturdy, tricolored giants were the farmers’ right hand—herding cattle, guarding property, and pulling carts loaded with milk and cheese to market. Bred from mastiff-type dogs brought to Switzerland by the Romans, the “Berner” developed strength, endurance, and a calm, dependable temperament perfect for mountain life. 🐂🛷

By the early 1900s, dedicated breeders worked to preserve the Bernese as industrialization threatened its numbers, and in 1907 the first breed club was formed in Switzerland. Today, the Berner is loved worldwide—not just for its working ability, but for its gentle nature and devotion to family.

Gentle. Steadfast. Heart as big as the mountains.
The Bernese Mountain Dog isn’t just a breed—it’s a symbol of Swiss heart and hard work. ❤️🐶
