anorexic saint bernard?

Looks like a Belgian Sheepdog? Let me do a quick look..

that's a doberman

Its a Swiss Dog, but its not a saint bernard

It's a Swiss Dog, from Bern. In German you call it "Berner Sennenhund"

NO, simply .... NO :1orglaugh

Bernese Mountain Dog or Bernese Cattle Dog.

those dogs are so nice, my parents have three.....truly awesome dogs!

really? if thats it, the original german name was translated quite bad :)

Looks like a Belgian Sheepdog? Let me do a quick look..

No no, it's a BERNESE Mountain dog. I knew it was familiar! They are quite popular over here. Very smart and loving.

You call him like this..

"Here boy!! Come on!!"

Unless its a girl, then you will traumatize her.

LMAO! :thumbsup

Isn't this one of the cutest puppies you have ever seen!!!

I am not a pet type person.

not at all or just not a dog type?

i think its good for children do grow up with a dog. Everyone who did will agree!

Yeah, it looks like Beethoven not being fed for weeks. :1orglaugh

in quebec i think its a bouvier bernois

My friend tried to get a mountain dog, it was over $1000 dollars. He and his wife failed the adoption process and were rejected . The breeders for those dogs are strict.

found some ads in the local paper ajc.com :
BERNESE MOUNTAIN DOGChamp Lines-3 females. Avail. 1-28.AKC,Papers/shots, $2000reserve-770-889-8222


BERNESE MOUNTAIN DOG AKC/OFA pups, 8 weeks, champion bloodlines, $800. 864-487-2286.

ok, both are Swiss Dogs ... but c'mon, heres a pic for those who cant see a difference between a Saint Bernard and a Bernese Mountain Dog

Nice Dog.

He's not a St. Bernard. Too much fur and too much black.

He's a Bernese Mountain Dog. And a cute one, too.

when I said saint bernard I was making a joke, I gave the correct answer :winkwink:

eep! Sorry, it's been a really long day of frustration in accomplishing jack shit. I'm still trying to figure out how to finish a live journal server install. :helpme

yes, actually "Bernese Cattle Dog" comes closer than "Bernese Mountain Dog" (to the original name "Berner Sennenhund")

Oh my god! I love the Bernese Mountain Dog! Lots of people around here have them. I wish I could have one, but my husband would have had a seizure if I brought one home. They are too big for his first dog. Instead we got a Papillon. So cute!

:1orglaugh

its a bernese mountain dog... if you want one msg me 55112653

thx ... but i live in Switzerland. Quite a lot of Bernese Mountains Dogs available here :)

whats your favourite dog ?

I like german shepards, most lab types, and hypermuts.

wtf are hypermuts ??

Just really hyper dogs you get from the pound.

pics? :)

Growing up with both a cat and dog gives you good balance.

It has the duality of being seen as a god and totally ignored all at the same time.

I have an australian cattle dog. Incredibly smart and pretty damn ugly.

What a nice looking dog :thumbsup

I no longer have any doggies.

thats what I thought it was, cool dog

Nice looking dog. I found some information about the breed you may want to be aware of:

The average lifespan of the Bernese has decreased in recent years from 10-12 yrs to 6-8 yrs. The BMD Club of America did a health survey in 2000 with 1,322 dogs. The average age of death was 7.2 yrs. Cancer is unfortunately a very large part of the Berner world and many Berners die young. One source states "I know of several that died of cancer at 3-4 yrs old and one that died two days before his 2nd birthday. The BMD Club of America is aggressively researching this cancer issue! We must see if we can end this sad situation."

This is very true :1orglaugh

ugly :thumbsup

Why do I feel so used by you people?

What do you call a dog with no legs?
