Being gifted a Bernese Mountain Dog is very special. They are handsome and very friendly. Bernie, was only 2 years old and became too large. He was very large for his age, almost 10 inches bigger than normal Burnese. Jeans are worn in the background, this was a real photo. Putting patches on his knee caps and elbows and along the jean seamline including designs of the alphabet in his fluffy tail plus writing the title through the painting; it was hard to stop. You can get carried awy with a Bernese.
