Male dogs look majestic, while female dogs look gentle. Originated in Europe, it was once the best helper for shepherds in history. As time went by, it became a popular toy dog. In the early days, it was a breed that gradually developed in the Bern region of Switzerland by pulling goods, making cheese, and pulling carts in weaving shops.

There is archaeological evidence that the large Bernese Mountain Dog appeared in Switzerland during the Bronze Age (2000-800 BC), which shows that the Bernese Mountain Dog originated from its homeland, Switzerland. The ancestors of the Bernese Mountain Dog were brought to Switzerland by the Roman army and later mated with local sheepdogs, resulting in four different varieties of mountain dogs, of which the Bernese Mountain Dog is one.

The Bernese Mountain Dog has three colors: black, white, and yellow. Male dogs are masculine and female dogs are gentle. By the end of the 19th century, the tri-color Bernese Mountain Dog had become very rare, because the tan and white dogs in the shelters of the Great Pass of St. Bernard were very famous and sold at high prices. Therefore, farmers in the valley began to work hard to breed tan and white dogs to get the most economic benefits.

Generally speaking, an adult Bernese Mountain Dog is a very gentle, polite, and well-behaved dog. They have the following advantages: strong, highly obedient, confident, not afraid of difficulties, and never wild. When they are puppies, they sometimes appear very curious and very lively, but they are never annoying. Many Bernese Mountain Dogs become very quiet after growing up, ignoring strangers, but they become very excited about familiar people and often climb on their laps. They are also very gentle to children and other animals, making them masters of taking care of children and other animals. They have a strong sensitivity to human nature, so they are also a perfect family dog. Bernese Mountain Dogs are loyal to their owners, and they will stand firmly in place and remain calm in the face of strangers. They are the best working dogs.
