Bernese Mountain Dog vs Kangal Shepherd Dog

Bernese Mountain Dogs are known for their gentle, affectionate, and loyal temperament. They make wonderful family companions because they get along well with kids and other animals. They are also protective and alert, which makes them good watchdogs.

Bernese Mountain Dogs are notorious shedders. They have a thick double coat that sheds heavily, especially during twice-yearly shedding seasons. Brushing is necessary to control the loose fur on a frequent basis (several times per week).

Although Berners are adaptable to many kinds of homes, a home with a yard is the best. Their large size and need for exercise make them better suited for a space where they can roam and play. If you live in an apartment, be prepared to provide them with ample daily walks and playtime to meet their exercise needs.

7–10 years on average, sometimes less due to genetic health issues.
