Hello.. yes, they are big, some are energetic but a lot of them are pretty sedentary after they grow up.
Social= Bernese were bred as farm dogs and as carting dogs. Without intense socialization in puppyhood and continued exposure throughout the dog’s life they can have a tendency to not be terribly social. While unlikely to bite, they can show some alarm barking behavior.
Yes, Bernese are very prone to a couple of types of cancer. Average age of death is 7.5 in the US. GOOD breeders are attempting to breed for less cancers and will look to the AOD (average age of death) on a pedigree as one thing to evaluate before breeding.
Bernese are great dogs.
Please feel free to email me for more information.

A responisible owner would want to look up links, not just go on other people opinions, other peoples opinion of these best children dogs may not suit your lifestyle.
Dogs are only obiedent if you put the time and effort into training them and let them know from word go there are boundries. puppies need 3 feeds aday.
The best place is a Shelter-they know what breed will suit your lifestyle
Animals Shelters are the BEST PLACE
Make sure you choose a breed suited to your lifestyle, don’t make your choose on the cute factor, fluffy factor, breed alone or colour.don’t buy from a petstore.
NEVER BUY FROM A PETSTORE
PUPPY INSIDE PETSTORE ARE FROM PUPPY MILLS
A reliable breeder would never sell to a petstore, where as a backyard breeder&puppy mill would

My neighbor has a Bernese Mountain dog with 4 young children and his dog is very gentle. My stepson has 2 young male Entlebuchers that are that are the sweetest dogs. From everything I’ve read about the Mountain dogs they are very gentle and family oriented dogs.
