"Properly trained, a man can be dog's best friend." ~Corey Ford
Griz, a two-almost-three-year-old Bernese Mountain dog is a gentle, loving animal who willingly posed for my camera. Isn't he a beauty?
These gentle, cheerful dogs love children. They are very intelligent, easy to train and are natural watchdogs, but not overly dominant. A friend for life. Self-confident, alert and good-natured. They are fairly friendly with strangers, and are generally good with other pets and dogs. These dogs may be slow to mature, remaining puppy-like for quite awhile. The Bernese needs to be with people and not relegated to the backyard or kennel run.
He's gorgeous Kate. I love this breed. As you say, so friendly. Inclined to get heavy and also inclined, sadly, to get hip dysplasia. Super photo.
ReplyDeleteNice dog, there is a guy around here who walks one like this everyday. The dog always seems to have fun.
ReplyDeleteGriz is a big old bear-like dog and might be why he is named Griz. A lovely dog to be sure.
