Are bernese mountain dog german shepherd mixes good dogs?

Depends on wether or not you like large dogs that shed like crazy and are always looking for something to do. GSD and Berners are working dogs - they have a moderate to high energy level and a keen mind that's always thinking.

There isn't a clear cut guide to mixes, though. Even getting tips from past owners won't help because no two mixes are going to be the same. The dog you end up with could have inherited more of one breed over the other!

If you want to know the temperament or basic traits of a mixed breed dog then you go to the shelter and meet the individual - talk to staff about the dog's temperament evaluation and how the dog acts with them in the kennel.

If you want to know if an individual mix is suitable for you, research both breeds and pool the basic traits. See what traits are the same - those will be "for sure" in your new pet. All other traits are "very likely". Then (like i said) visit the individual to determine temperament.

Stick with a Bernese Mountain Dog or a Newfie, but go directly to the bred clubs and find the most respected breeder that everyone sends you to. Breeders police each other, and they know whose dogs are best. It's all about breeding for temperament when it comes to a dog around kids. You do not want a dog that is actively protective, as that will land you in court, paying everything you've got now and will ever have to someone who doesn't deserve it but gets a judgement. You don't want to pay for the lavish lifestyle of a newly retired thief. What you do need is a big oaf of a dog that wouldn't harm a fly, but is big and black, and makes uninformed people think he could mean business. A big hairy speed bump, if you will. A big adult Lab would fit that bill, as well, but Berners are wonderful with kids. You don't want a German Shepherd or a Pit Bull, nor will you ever want eitehr one fo these things. FOr starters, they are not for beginners, and for enders, you will never have homeowner's insurance. Your kids won't have any friends, because teir parents won't let them come to your house the minute they find either one of these greeting the door - no matter how wonderful or highly trained, and I must say the nicest, most obedient dog I know is a Pit Bull. But that doesn't matter. SInce you have the time to make an intelligent choice, stay away from those two, and stick with the three I listed. I've rescued a lot of things, many times from households with kids. You want a dog that has the personality of a Little Tykes play set, and nothing more, or it's trouble. I can point out the particulars of anything else, if you email me.

I have this particular mix, a female, and she a great temperment. Take a look at this face and tell me what you think about her "temper". Unless you're trying to harm that guy in the picture with her, you're golden. She never barks at anything ever. Fire sirens, other barking dogs, she just doesn't care. She's above all that, lol. Once a neighbor my husband does not like reached across the fence and she went ballistic, barking, growling, showing her teeth...but this guy is also a no good drug dealer and she probably sensed her human did not like the man. The 300+ lb. man jumped backwards further than most Olympic athletes can. That is the most aggressive thing I have ever seen her do in 5 years.

My mom has Multiple Sclerosis, and was diagnosed about 10 years ago. Just before she got bad [when the disease presented itself] my dad got her a dog. It was a Bernese Mountain Dog mixed with a St. Bernard [huge dog, but we lived in a 100-acre piece of farm land that we only shared with 3 neighbors and cattle.] We named him Satchmo, and he was aybe 3 o 4 months old when we got him. When the disease first came to show itself in my mom's actions and movements, she couldn't walk on her own. She was unable to make it from her bed to the bathroom 5 feet away, and my dad was disabled too so there wasn't a lot of help other than myself and I was only 10 at the time. Our dog, Satchmo, never left my mother's side. From the time she got up in the morning he was there, and didn't even leave her side at night, he slept right beside her on the floor. If she had to go to the bathroom, Satchmo let her grab onto his collar [which was just a bandana, he liked those the best] and acted as a crutch for her. When she sat down on the toilet [she had trouble holding herself up for the first few months because she was in a lot of pain] he leaned against her to keep her up. She started to sleep walk a few months later, and Satchmo would moo [he was raised by cows, and never did learn how to actually bark properly...] and wake us up. When she had seizures, he pressed against her so she couldn't twitch around and hurt herself by accident. He was a good dog, an amazing dog. I can not even explain to you the help that dog gave to my mother. When he got older [we had him up until about 2 or 3 years ago] and he took a turn for the worse, even with his Cancer and blindness, untlthe day that he died, he stayed by mother's side. The day that he passed away was the day the doctor told us that my mother was in remission and told us that she was doing better than she had been doing for years. I miss that dog like he was my own brother. I was 10 and it was hard to take care of my mom, work and go to school alone. He was a Godsend. So, Bernese Mountain Dog [pure or mix] all the way.

Yes, yes the world's greatest dog mix! My girl is 12 years old and has been the friendliest, most loyal, kid- loving dog ever. She was reared with 5 boys, the oldest was 7 when we got her and the youngest born when she was 6 months old and she has loved being a member of the " pack. " She gets along with all dogs and people, only once put herself between me and someone she perceived as dangerous. She has near perfect recall and has only seen the vet for well care. I want her to live forever because I can't imagine a better dog.

It's a mixed breed-there is no set temperament for this mix(or any other mixed breed) everything from a mixed breed is a toss up. Talk to the person/rescue that has the dog and ask how that individual dog is.

Yes!!!!!! My boy was extremely easy to train. He has a very loud and low bark [which makes people scared of him : ( ] and he barks at pretty much anything that he thinks is a threat to the house (but he only barks outside, never inside the house). He has never tried to hurt anyone, if anything he ll try to jump on you and lick you to death. He s also very good with children, and always lets my baby nephew mess with him face and mouth and doesn t do anything but lick him or move his face. He acts like a big scardy-dog most of the time, but he is definitely not afraid to stand his ground against anything that comes, or tries to come, into our yard...including possums, coyotes, and deer. He is very strong though and tries to pull and go after things on walks...so I would recommend using a harness on walks. Shedding is probably the absolute worst thing about him though, so do LOTS of brushing after winter. For the most part though he s really easy going and content to just lie around and sleep all day.

It`s a mutt! They don`t have standard temperaments. Research both breeds to find out what they`re like. But keep in mind that people who deliberately breed mutts don`t care anything about good temperaments in the parents.

YES!!! Very smart and very loyal... but can get destructive if you don't give them enough exercise and mental stimulation. Put them in at least 1 obedience class and you'll have the best dog in the world.
