The sweet but powerful Bernese Mountain Dog- also
known as the Berner Sennenhund- is one of four Swiss mountain dogs. But the
Berner stands apart from the other Swiss canines in that it is the only one
with a long, silky and flowing coat. It also almost didn’t make it out of the
19th century alive.
