Bernese Mountain Dog (Berner Sennenhund), aka Bernese Mountain Shepherd Dog, Alpine Shepherd Dog, Dürbahler, Bernese Shepherd Dog is a balanced, strong and self-confident dog, at the same time she is affectionate and friendly, excellent companion and perfectly trained, previously used as a dog – a shepherd, and cattle guard, as well as dogs in sleds. This is a spectacular long-haired working breed of three-colored dogs.
In the middle of the 19th century, dogs were harnessed to carts and they cheerfully delivered milk from the farm to production.
Sometimes small children were assigned to the dogs, but the Bernese Shepherd Dogs could well work independently.
Later, they began to be used in this capacity in other European countries and even Canada.
Today the Bernese Sheepdogs are no longer used as pulling power, but that does not mean that they cannot pull carts!
