Bernese Mountain Dog Gifts

As mentioned below, the Bernese Mountain Dog can be trained to pull carts and were originally bred to work on farms. This sweet greeting card showing the Berner pulling a cart is a fun item to have or give to the owner of this awesome breed of dog. You can purchase one card or several.

A thoughtful addition to a gift of greeting cards would be a sheet of postage stamps to send the Bernese greeting cards out. I found many styles but liked this one the best:

The Bernese Mountain Dog originally came from Switzerland, more specifically the Swiss Alps. These large dogs were commonly used as farm dogs. Some of the larger of the breed were also used as draft animals and pulled carts.

They are usually a heavy dog with a tri-color coat of mostly black and white with a rust color around their eyes, mouth, front of legs, and some near the chest. Males and females with have a large head with small v-shaped ears.

Originally the dogs were used to guard property and herd cattle. The Bernese are outdoor dogs at heart and are generally have a good nature. They are affectionate, loyal, and intelligent dogs.
