Berners are sociable, calm, and playful. They’re friendly around people of any age, but they’re not into apartment life; a well-fenced yard is essential. They also need to be involved at home instead of being left in a kennel outside. Since they’re made to work, Berners love to learn and are trainable. Due to their size of about a hundred pounds, early socialization and obedience training are essential. If you want to have a Berner, take note that their minds and bodies mature slowly— remaining puppyish for too long. They are also sensitive, so harsh corrections aren’t good.
Berners ten to live a short life, perhaps due to or despite their temperament and beauty. Their gene pool is small, so they’re prone to many health problems due to inbreeding. Many people want to breed more of them, not caring about how it affects the breed. So if you’re planning to get a Berner, refrain from supporting such irresponsible practices.
If you have concerns about your pet’s health and/or behavior, make an appointment with your animal hospital Norwalk, CA.
