Hi friends! Today, I’m taking a break from my usual monthly update to instead share this: four reasons I’ve thought of why you should get a Bernese Mountain Dog. You might think that since we’re Bernese Mountain Dog breeders we’re a little biased, but the reason we breed these dogs is because we love them so much. These are a few of the reasons my family and I are so glad we have Bernese Mountain Dogs (or Berners) and a few of the reasons you might love having one, too.
1. You will always have a loyal friend.
Your Berner will always be a loyal best friend. He’ll never get offended and decide he doesn’t want to talk to you anymore or get so busy with other things that he doesn’t have time for you. Your Berner doesn’t care if you’re popular or rich or “cool.” Just feed him and give him some attention and he’ll be your best friend for life!
2. You’ll always have someone excited to see you when you come home.
Even if we’re only gone for a few hours, when we come home, our Berners are crazy, over-the-top excited to see us. It’s always a nice feeling to have someone so excited that you’ve come home!
3. You’ll always have someone to cheer you up.
It’s hard to feel grumpy when you have a furry, tail-wagging friend nuzzling you. If you’re feeling sad or grumpy or annoyed or worried, some time with your Berner can be a great help!
4. You’ll have someone to help you get outside and stay active.
On those days when it’s cold or rainy and you might feel like just being a couch potato, your Berner still needs a walk! Your Berner will make sure you take time to get out in the fresh air and stay in shape.
What about you? If you have a Berner, what are some of the things you love about him or her? Let us know in the comments below!
