We love our Berner. He’s 2 and only 70lbs! The most amazing dog we love him so much.
I love my Berner. He's so sweet and gentle. Plays well with ALL dogs. A bit TOO nice at times and gets kinda bullied at the dog park by little dogs but he never fights back hahaha hello from 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Thanks for watching! Ours are super sweet too!
Bernie is 4yo & around 130# and ALWAYS gets beat up by other dogs and kitties no matter their size. He is very submissive and super friendly. I got him from a breeder who specifically breeds Berners for farms & ranches. Mine is a service dog.
FYI his dad is 11
I have three berners Roscoe a blind and deaf boy, and Dakota and Texas 2 rescues from a high kill area
@@bernielea1019 so cool!! My friend has a bernese mountain dog service dog for medical alert!!
I absolutely ADORE my Bernese.
He is gentle and loves everybody, everything.
Hi, mine is only 7.5 months old, but getting heavier and bigger (35kg now). He's quite a troublemaker sometimes ;), but he is a sweetheart. Greetings from Poland
If you want a berner be ready for a lot of love, hair, and constant companionship. The shedding is legit when they blow their winter coats, we call it berner glitter because it gets everywhere. Other than that I can't think of anything I don't love about our big girl. 2 years old and 100lbs. She's everyone's friend, just the sweetest, most loving breed.
Mohawk Valley Farms....that'd be Heaven to me!!!
Berner Heaven!!! Bravo guys!!
Such a wonderful video!
Thanks for watching and following!
amazing dogs, just got our first berner after my lab passed, interesting on the differences between those breeds forsure, kodi is 6 months 67 lbs on the road to be a big boy! great vid
Thanks for watching! We love ours (despite the title of the video)! Every Bernese we’ve owned has very similar traits but also still has their own distinct personality. At first I had a hard time telling them apart, but now I know who’s nudging me just by facial expressions. Lol.
I really wish that dogs have a longer life span. U are so happy when they are around n so sad when they had to leave. Missed my australian shepherd always.
Yeah, we will be very sad to see these dogs go, as they are part of our family for sure! Bernese live approx 8 years which is way to short!
@@MohawkValleyFarm how long have y'all been involved with Berners?
@@bernielea1019 Hello! We’ve had Penny for 3 years. She was our first Bernese. It’s actually been a great experience. (We now have 4 Bernese).
@@MohawkValleyFarm Bernie is my 1st but definitely not my last !!!! His daddy is now 11yo and ready for retirement. I've got puppy fever BUT I always have puppy fever when it comes to Berners lol. Best advice I have for anyone considering a Berner is GET PET INSURANCE!!! Bernie is my medical alert AND mobility assistance SD. He's my hero! But even if all he did was lay around drooling and leaving furfetti I would still want several!!! Most loving affectionate intelligent 4 legged friend Ive ever had the pleasure of having in my life. We live in the Deep South so he's indoors only most of the year. During the hottest months, our playtime outside is between 2am-3am, which suits him fine bcuz he comes from a multigeneration line of livestock guardians. He's always been nocturnal and a day sleeper😍
I have a Swish Mountain dog. Looks just like a Bernese but with shorter hair.
Great dogs, very loving breed, the best
Hi can you tell me how long puppy nipping last with Bernese puppies? Thanks!
I love my berner hes 5 months old n his name is saber hes very playful kind n can be lazy n we love get hes also mixed with bernese mountian dog n a saint bernard
We have two, one female 3 years old and one male 1-1/2 years. Would have more if we had room. Good in our RV too.
Definitely the best breed I ever had. My only problem is that my Berner is turning 7 tomorrow and it says online that their life span is 6 to 8 years, I don’t know what to do.
Mine is going to turn 4 in February. I can hardly believe how fast the time has gone with my Sébastien. Best dog in the world and I tell him that every day along with how much I love him.
The only bad part about owning a Bernese mountain dog is that they don't have a long life . I'm just going to spend as much time as I can loving and enjoying mine and I hope you can do the same with yours.
If they poop a lot maybe it's because there's a lot of corn and meat and bone meal in their prepared dog food? Is there? Maybe you need to feed them meet and vegetables and pre and probiotics? They would pretty much only poop once a day because there's not any filler in that to make them go more than once maybe twice.
MY 4yr old Berner is named Penny, and she's also super energetic xD I adore my 2 girls, they're so sweet and fun and just love to be with us. And yes, very good around the kids (except when exicted :P)
Totally agree!
my fiancé and i are making our way through your videos! we love them, are you having another litter of berners soon?! i may have the itch now for one instead of a golden 🙂
We got the mix Burmese x golden,great dog
Sorry….I missed this post. Yes we had a recent litter and another coming later this year.
We have both and they get a long so well if you have room for both i recommend it!
Have you considered giving these dogs a job on your farm if they don’t have one already? I’m curious how they are around your farm animals. Love it so far!
Yes! I plan to build a cart that they can pull the grandkids around. Maybe hall pumpkins for the future pumpkin patch! Lol.
@@MohawkValleyFarm : Hello from Canada! 🇨🇦 We have a Bernese mountain dog Nala. Although not with the luxury of living on a farm, we strive to give her a great life too with walks on the trails, swim in the lakes, lots of cuddles and belly rubs. You guys are awesome to be raising a Bernese pack. Way to go!
I have heard of Bernese pulling cheese carts and that they could be trained into herding. Something to maybe try out on your farm! :)
nice
My puppy is on his way!! A few more weeks.
Awesome!
I have a berniedoodle love him. 9 months old super active. Thinking of getting a MB too. What food do you feed them.
We use the Diamond Naturals through Chewy. We’re considering another brand that was recommended to us, but can’t remember the name right now.
What’s their grooming regimen? How often to brush them, trim their hair, etc? Do they need to wear coats in winter or are they warm enough?
Brushing is good.....but don’t trim them. They naturally shed when the weather gets cold. Great outdoor dogs!
Thank you!
These guys have a very warm internal temperature that is their norm and a double coat. The cold is where they thrive best and snow is the dream in the life of a Bernese. No-no to heat, warm temps or long periods in the sun. They must be kept cool like in the a/c and short walks in the summer, morning or evening when it's cooler.
Hi question, I noticed your Bernese mountain dogs are not as "fluffy" is there a specific breed. My sister has a Bernese and it has enormous fur. Recently I purchased a Bernese but it doesn't look like the big fluffy Bernese. Nor does it look like the greater swiss breed. The dog was expensive but I think it's not a full breed he is skinny has the tricolor pattern but is not furry as I come to know Bernese.
Our male is pretty fluffy, compared to our females. We got him from Romania. Certain breeders like particular traits and try and breed those traits.
I love my Berniese mountin dog
how do bernese mountain dogs do with a prong collar for a experienced owner
We don’t use them, but some people do. They do fine as a training collar, but probably not needed forever.
@@MohawkValleyFarm thank you for the advice!
Best collar is the remote trainer, we use the beeping feature and my bern responds to it perfectly. One beep and she comes running to my side. Took a day or two for her to make the connection.
My Berner only 💩 once every 24 hours. He eats Dr Gary's Best Breed Salmon Herbs & Veggies. Its the best kibble Ive found.
Yes they are very friendly and like to
Cuddle...but they do need both mental and physical stimulation..it will help then live longer...🤖
My wife hates drool… are they quite bad for it?
No, Berners aren't big droolers like a newfie or a Saint. They'll drool like any big dog but it's not excessive.
What the longest you've had one live . I know someone who has one that is 11 years old .
Average has been 8 years. But unfortunately most of the bigger breeds don’t go over 10 years.
Mine lived 11 years. I believe processed foods shortens their lives. Find out about BARF food which can be frozen and is raw natural diet which can be made at home.
My berner is crazy, he’s only a year and a half but he runs like a bat out of hell. He’s only 80ish pounds and doesn’t look that big.
My Leia is same way.
@@JohnDoe-nz6bk he's calmed down a bit but still loves to run😅 i kinda want to look into a slat mill so he can safely run to his hearts content
@@Raine_Water my Leia is 4 and still is crazy. She loves to run, especially after rabbits, skunks etc. She loves to eat other dog poop too. 🙄 she's a handful and is overwhelming, but I would definitely get another berner and newfy.
That's funny because my Berner runs like crazy after a good nap. We call it his Tasmanian devil run!! So beautiful too when he runs he almost looks like a race horse.
Mine has always liked eating his own poop( which I have always hated) but now that he's grown up he obeys me when I say no. Wouldn't obey hardly at all as a puppy.
oh my! have two litter mates, Grant, the male weighted in a 86lbs a 7 months. already larger than his dad. vet thinks he'll be 120lbs easy. yes raining is non so a my house
I love Bernese Motrin dogs how could you hate them
We love them too!
They obviously LOVE them they have like a zillion
Reminds me of Godzilla--with just one swish of their tails, they knock entire mountains down--accidentally!
I like my Berner that poops a lot 😂
Train a bernese to swim young if possible than see if that skill transfer to next generation pup.
No they are good dogs
We actually agree 100%
My Berner is 11 and still thinks He's a 130 lbs lap dog.
Wow really !!? Your Berner has made it to 11?
Well thanks for saying that because it gives me hope that mine may live a long life too!! Mine is almost 4 now.
We're so close that I will be a blubbering worthless mess when he passes.
@@sylvestercoffee7212 He passed away in July and I’m so blessed that I had Him for. 11 years. I’m waiting for the right time to get another Berner. His death devastated me.
I'm so sorry John and I do hope you find a wonderful new Berner puppy in the future.
My first Bernese Bella lived for 11 years also. I was heartbroken and waited a year before getting another Bernese ,Rosie who is 6 years old now .She is so sweet and very smart not to mention this breed has such a comical personality. She is so loyal to me and my husband and adores our 7 grandchildren . I know how hard it was when Bella passed away but so glad we opened our hearts to another puppy 6 years ago . Rosie is such a blessing to us and all who meet her❤
No, we love Bernese Mountain Dogs!!! I have a blind and deaf boy, Roscoe
We love them too! Just having an “engaging title” was our goal. We can’t imagine having our farm without them!
@@MohawkValleyFarm hahah I was like, who can't love berners?! I have 3 actually, just when I was commenting Roscoe walked by, but I have Dakota and Texas two 1 year olds that got rescued from a high kill shelter, they were gonna be put down 10 minutes before someone came and rescued them...where did you get your bernese mountain dogs
@@bookworm28427 That’s awesome! We got ours from different places. One from Romania, and one from Tennessee. The other 2 from different Breeders in Oregon. Really great dogs!
@@MohawkValleyFarm they truly are!! Tell you berners that Roscoe, Dakota, and Texas say hi!!
They poop a lot because they eat a lot they have to eat so much because of their size
I have six
Your so wrong since your saying this I’m unsubscribeing to you I have one that’s 15weeks
Sorry you feel that way. It’s just a title. We love all our Bernese. 😊
