Do Bernese Mountain Dogs get along with children?
This depends on the individuals involved the child, the dog, and perhaps most importantly, the parents. The Bernese is NOT a always the best choice of breed for a family with small children. Many Berner puppies go through a mouthy stage that can be unwittingly encouraged by young children. Many Berners bodies grow faster than their brains which can be a challenge to the inexperienced dog owner.
