The Bernese Mountain Dog is the gentle giant of the dog breeds- they are good with kids and friendly with strangers. Because they tend to overeat and get bloated easily, it’s best to use smaller food bowls, to feed them two or three times a day, instead of one large meal. Their intelligence and puppy-like energy means they get bored easily so they will need a whole host of toys to keep them entertained. Celebrity owner: Hilary Duff.
