Publisher's summary

Bernese mountain dogs are the second-largest breed of Sennenhund-type dogs, a group of four breeds developed to assist the herders and dairymen of the Swiss Alps in their daily lives. Not only did Sennenhund dogs like Bernese mountain dogs guard livestock, but they also protected the homestead and provided herding and drafting services. Modern-day Bernese are more likely to play the role of devoted companions than farm dogs - a role they excel at due to their affectionate and docile natures.

All four of the Sennenhund breeds are hardy, good-natured working dogs with striking tricolored coats, but only the Bernese have gained widespread popularity in the United States. While Bernese mountain dogs are generally agreeable canines, early socialization and training are musts to uncover their true potential. This in-depth guide to the affable Bernese mountain dog will teach you how to make the most of your canine’s cooperative temperament and how to avoid problem behaviors before they start.
