Question about the Bernese?
Is it true that the Bernese are unpredictable and immediately snap at someone if something doesn't suit them?

Dog chews pebbles in the garden – what can I do?
We have quite a lot of gravel in our garden—both small and large. Our mixed breed dog, Lala, has recently started chewing on it. She's not allowed to eat "normal" chew toys because of a lack of intestinal bacteria and leaky gut, which is being treated. She's only allowed to have wood chews, which she…

Why can golden retrievers be aggressive?
Hey, It's well known that golden retrievers are seen as THE family dogs, and that's why little or no attention is paid to their needs because they're "so friendly anyway." I'm aware that these dogs also need to be trained and their needs taken into account. But how is it possible that a dog (in…

Looking for an indestructible chew toy for your dog?
ByMaxs9698
Good day dear dog lovers, I'm currently looking for a chew toy for my retired Rottweiler. Since exercise is becoming less and less difficult, I'd like to give him something to chew on at home. Problem: He can crush almost anything. The only thing that held was a Kong rubber ball. He still uses it…
Actually, no dog is unpredictable and will snap just like that. Most give clear signs beforehand that most people don't understand. Pain can also be noticed beforehand, and I don't think it's unpredictable when a dog snaps when it's in pain. And even dogs that snap simply when you touch them. It's never just like that: fear due to previous experiences. There are no bad dogs or breeds. The experiences a dog has had to go through or the pain it experiences can, of course, contribute to it no longer being the friendliest, but dogs do give clear signs if you're familiar with canine body language and communication.
As with any dog, as long as health problems can be ruled out, it's a matter of training. I know Labradors who snap at every mosquito fart, just as I know Chihuahuas who listen better and are calmer than many other dogs.
I've never heard of Bernese Mountain Dogs snapping when something bothers them. However, I've met plenty of poorly trained and even sick dogs.

You mean the Bernese Mountain Dog or…?
A Bernese Mountain Dog who does that is not all there.
Such toxic reactions are known from the Appenzeller Sennenhund and the Entlebucher Sennenhund.
The Bernese Mountain Dog, on the other hand, is a friendly, stable dog that is not easily upset, provided it comes from a reputable FCI-approved breeder.
As with any other dog issue, this is a matter of training, socialization, exercise and handling of the dog and has nothing to do with the breed
Of course, if you constantly annoy the animal and pay no attention to its body language, i.e. ignore the dog's warning signals, it may eventually snap because everything else isn't working. But that applies to all dogs and if you don't act correctly, the dog will eventually become ingrained in the belief that snapping is the only way to get ahead, and that may of course become ingrained, but that shouldn't happen, of course.
A well-socialized, well-trained and well-behaved dog will not snap, especially since the owner should be able to recognize when the dog is feeling unwell and act or react accordingly.
There is no breed that is naturally more aggressive than another. Each breed simply has different needs and requirements that must be met in order for the dog to be friendly and happy. In other words, hardworking breeds such as German Shepherds, Dobermans and Rottweilers also have to work to be happy.
That's why you don't pet strange dogs without asking, because for inexperienced people the warning signals of a dog can't always be immediately clear if it doesn't show them very obviously, especially since not every dog likes to be touched, or certain parts are taboo because it has pain in its back or ears, for example.
A Bernese Mountain Dog has a strong social nature and is therefore a welcome family dog.
If a dog snaps or bites you, something has happened between the owner and the dog, because no dog bites or snaps without reason.
My personal experience and opinion
Nein das machen sie nicht
No, that's not true. If a dog snaps and bites, it has nothing to do with the breed, but rather with improper care and treatment.
Ja, so ist das in Bern.
Und alle sind so da, auch die Kleinkinder schon.
Ach, du meinst den Hund^^
Ne, ich meine, die werden als Familienhunde sogar empfohlen.

Fand deine erste Antwort echt lustig😂
I was still thinking, why does he say "herschnappen" (here-snapping), but I thought that was Swiss dialect for "distributing blows"^^
🤣😂🤣😂
Der war gut‼️
…da hast du Märchenerzählungen gehört…..
Unser Tierarzt sagt uns das dauernd, hab aber orgendwie das Gefühl, der mag einfach keine Berner
Dann solltet ihr euren Tierarzt wechseln
These are probably so-called fear biters, but that is independent of the breed.
Fear biters are usually rather insecure dogs who want to protect themselves in unpleasant or even threatening situations through this behavior.
This can happen, for example, when dogs are not properly socialized as puppies, have not been exposed to enough stimuli in the outside world during the imprinting phase, or have been exposed to many unpleasant situations.
You have to work quite a bit to get rid of this kind of behavior; it takes a lot of time and care. Insecure and fearful dogs are quite a challenge, which is why it's best to work with a professional in such cases.
..das liegt ganz allein an der Erziehung des Hundes !!
