Growing up without pets, the introduction of Moose, a 100 lb Bernese Mountain Dog, into our family was quite a surprise. However, in my experience, the Bernese Mountain Dog truly stands out as the best family dog. These gentle giants possess an incredible blend of loyalty, goofiness, and patience. While individual dogs may vary in their energy levels, they generally don’t demand excessive exercise, making them adaptable to different family lifestyles. Their exceptional patience, especially with children, is a defining trait. Our Bernese, Moose, lovingly tolerates our daughter Cece climbing on him, displaying remarkable gentleness. Whiskey, our second Berner, while a bit more reserved, still adores Cece and endures her affectionate embraces.
One of the most endearing qualities of the Bernese Mountain Dog breed is their signature, heartwarming smile. If you can manage the significant amount of shedding – yes, their fur will be everywhere – then welcoming a Berner into your family might be one of the best decisions you’ll make.

Testimonials: Bernese Mountain Dog as the Ideal Family Companion
It’s always a joy to connect with clients who share a passion for these magnificent, fluffy dogs and recognize the Bernese Mountain Dog as the best family dog breed. I had the pleasure of photographing Drew and Steph’s beautiful Newport wedding a few years back. Learning that they had welcomed a Bernese Mountain Dog puppy into their family and relocated to Newport was wonderful news. I was thrilled to photograph them again. Their Berner pup, Hermann, is truly a fantastic dog. We had a delightful time capturing their family moments at Second Beach last May. Hermann has seamlessly transitioned into the role of a loving big brother to their young child and I’m certain he will be equally adored by their new baby girl arriving this summer.
If you are considering adding a canine member to your family, my strongest recommendation is the Bernese Mountain Dog. They enrich your life with immeasurable love, happiness, and yes, a considerable amount of fur!
