Should I get a Bernese Mountain Dog?

She’s gotta waiting list I just asked my wife because I she just had a 10 and a 12 litter but there all spoken for. https://www.singingsandsbmd.com/

It’s a wait list but I thought I’d throw it out there if anyone wants a showdog or just a well bred dog.

I say hell yea. The nice thing about getting an actual breed (apart from the general temperament you can expect) is that your dogs neuroses will likely remain within a fairly narrow band of possibilities. Unlike when you don’t really know, and you get to play dog neurosis roulette. (Will she eat through all your walls? Be unable to stay in a room for 5 minutes alone without destroying it? You’ll find out !)

Just don’t let her share the bed with you or you’ll end up looking at this every morning when you wake up

Or get a cat and feed it to the dog.

Dachshund is always the first answer. I had two excellent ones as a kid/ teen. Never had a dog since because they wouldn’t be able to match them.

Now there is an electric fence that is portable.

Collar has GPS. App allows you to set geofencing on a map. Collar gies off at fence boundaries ( Im sure after proximity warnings first).

Take poocher to the beach, camping or wherever worry free. Wicked smaaaht.

Amazing

I had 3 Bostons a while ago. Other than the snoring and farting they are great dogs.

Here’s my 16 year old Humane Society cat getting warm. Like any old lady she’s cold all the time. :joy: She’s an absolute B but she’s my buddy

Our first family dog was a dachshund, Willy. Cool little guy. My grandmother moved in with us and brought Pepper, a fat black dachshund, who had bitten at least 13 people (including yours truly) before his demise. Meanest dog I’ve ever seen. Had a huge scar and lump of scar tissue on his back from when he was attacked by a German shepherd. He probably deserved it. What an Ahole.

I was trying to keep the positives, but you might want to have a very good vacuum also

We had Brandy and Chubbs. When the cad had kittens, Chubbs insisted on laying in their box and trying to let them nurse. He was a weird dude.

Sounds like Chubbs was ahead of his time.

I never asked him how he identified

Edited to add: he always responded when asked if he was a good boy

A couple of projects that I was on years ago, I took my dogs. All of these construction workers…flannel, carhart jackets, tattoos on their throat-types. All walking around trying to be badass…then they walk up to my truck/office, Meishka and Maddelynn stick their heads out, and they’re immediately talking baby talk to a pair of 5 pound dogs. LOL.

Depends on what you are wanting from this dog, and how much time you put into him. BMD don’t live very long. 8 years is pushing it. Usually have great temperaments if socialized well. They are not a dog that does well being left alone a lot.

However, they are great family dogs. Great with children

That’s a good boy right there! Looks just the dog I had in college, Simon. He went from the pound to being a frat house mascot. All the burgers, spilled beer, second hand pot smoke and attention from sorority girls he could get. Thought he’d died and gone to heaven. Made it through college, a three year stint in Los Angeles, law school in New Orleans and then rounded his 14 years out watching over my first born. Loved that dude!
