A bit of history:
This is the only mountain dog that has long silky hair. I read in a book that this dog dates back to the Roman invasion of Switzerland. The Romans cross their mastiff with the cattle dogs of Switzerland.
This dog is strong enough to withstand cold weather and was strong enough to serve as a draft dog.
Being close to extinction, these dogs were found in the valleys of the lower Alps. Thanks to the efforts of Dr. Heim, these dogs were promoted throughout Switzerland and Europe. The first Bernese arrived in the United States in 1926 and were granted AKC recognition in 1937.
