[edit] Similarities/differences with St Bernards?
This breed is probably often confused with St Bernards - is there a connection / important differences? Thrapper 16:15, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] There is a major difference
These are two different breeds and their colors and appearance are quite different. Also, the St.Bernards are quite a bit larger than the Bernese.
However, both breeds have similar good tempraments, and are both Swiss, so they are related in that sense. I'm not sure if there is actual blood reltaion between them but many consider them to be "cousins".

[edit] outdoor dogs?
Not likely. Most parts of the country they'll be miserably hot in the summer. Plus, they really want to be inside with their families.
In fact, quite a few of them are outdoor dogs and generally they are happy with it, provided they were raised as outdoor dogs since puppyhood (trying to make indoor Bernese into outdoor Bernese or visa versa at an adult age is strongly discouraged). Also, the climate conditions vary significantly from country to country and in many cold areas the Bernese will not suffer in the summer and will be very glad to stay outside during the cold winter. Anyhow, it should be kept in mind that regardless of where they stay the Bernese require a lot of love and attention from their families, and give much love and loyalty in return. --Tal :) 12:11, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
- I definately concur. While they do enjoy--weather permitting--outside time, they are indoor dogs. To be kept outside and away from its family for long periods would be very hard on every Berner I've known.--Sam Harmon 18:00, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] outdoor dogs
They are outdoor dogs but cannot handle the hot weather due to their thick coats. In cooler climates they are better outdoor dogs where as in warmer climates they should be kept inside and out of the heat. They are suited to live and work outdoors in the proper climate.
[edit] wrong article name
Why is the article names Bernese Mountain Dog if the true name is Berner Sennenhund
it's no secret that these dogs originate in Switserland and in Switserland , the language used, isn't english, and as such they do not refer to the dog as "Bernese Mountain dog"
the rest of Europe , also refers to it as Berner Sennenhund, so why the switch??
should be "Berner Sennenhund, aka Bernese Mountain Dog, aka Bouvier Bernois..."
not the other way around. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 130.57.32.250 (talk) 17:03, 3 January 2007 (UTC).
