I am a avid Dog lover. I had a Bernese Mountain Dog that was the best dog ever. I just love the breed and sweet disposition. When I lost her I said that i would love to have another Bernese but a bit smaller. Then I came across a Miniature Bernese Mountain Dog and i had to have her join my family. She is as wonderful as the full size Berner but in a much smaller body and much less hair. I talked with the breeder that I bought her from and asked to have a litter of these wonderful dogs so that others who would like a Bernese Mountain Dog, but just don't have the space, can also have the best of both worlds with the disposition of the Bernese Breed but in a much smaller size. The mother is 20lb and the father is 35lbs.
