I love Bernese Mountain dogs! They're fabulous. The only downside is that they have a short life span due to their large size. I couldn't get attached and say good bye so soon. I opted for a medium sized dog instead.
Me, too, I loved my sister's dog, Cookie. Yes, I agree with you that they are fabulous. Cookie was so sweet and good with her children, grandchildren and cats. Right, Berners have a median longevity of 7 years. (He died of cancer when he was 9 years old. Cancer is the leading cause of death for dogs in general, but Berners have a much higher rate of fatal cancer than other breeds. In both USA/Canada and UK surveys, nearly half of Berners died of cancer.)
