Anyone have any experience with this breed of pup? The wife and I just picked up a 8 week old pup that is 13 lbs already. So far ( first day) he's being a really good pup. He fell asleep on the floor last night and didn't start crying u till I put him in his kennel. He's about house broke if you take him out every half hr. So once he's big enough to get out the doggy door should be good to go. I need to go get some chew toys for him now.

    Well, heck, dogs can't spell worth a hoot, anyway.
    They are beautiful dogs, though.

    You have your work cut out for you.This breed will eat you out of house and home but will be worth it by giving you tons of love and fun in return.
    I love the breed but then, I love most all dog breeds.[:)]
    Some Burmese have health issues you need to be aware of and watch out for.

    All searches I've done on the breed and spellings have been Bernese mountain dogs. Comes from Switzerland I believe.

    It's Bernese, from Bern Switzerland. One of the Swiss mountain dog working breeds, smaller than the St. Bernard. Never had one but people that do want nothing else, in spite of their relatively short life span, being a large breed.

    Big, Beautiful,Loyal and Mild Tempered. Great family dog !

    The long hair takes a lot grooming, especially in a temperate climate.

    Take my word on that one. > My Long Hair GSD > Vinnie (140 pound, lap dog)

    My son just had his put down. He was a great dog his son loved that dog. John Landon would crawl all over the dog and he would just lay there and play.

    The only problem is when they get older their hips go bad. They had to put him down because he was in pain. They tend to live shorter lives than other dogs.
