I’m a veterinary assistant and have worked with almost all breeds of dogs – but Bernese Mountain Dogs are my favorite for many reasons
An Australian vet who has worked with almost every species of dog has revealed her favorite breed of all time.
Head nurse and practice manager Tess Nolan spends her days diagnosing and treating dogs and cats on the Gold Coast, performing everything from CPR on pets to x-rays and blood tests.
She often shares professional advice and tips for pet lovers and future owners – including the dangerous mistakes everyone makes with their dog.
Tess recently shared that her “absolute favorite dog breed” is the Bernese Mountain Dog.
The breed is known for its calm temperament and gentle, giant nature.

Bernese Mountain Dogs are ideal for colder temperatures as they were originally bred as working dogs in their native Switzerland.
The breed is strong and athletic, and many use the dogs on farms to herd livestock or pull heavy loads through remote areas.
Bernese Mountain Dogs have a short life expectancy and only live six to eight years on average.
An animal expert also revealed that the breed is a type of Velcro dog.
“Bernese Mountain Dogs love being close to their owners and can struggle with separation anxiety if left alone for too long,” he said in an interview Video.
“They are the perfect family dogs, my two-year-old Bernese gets along great with my little daughter,” said one father.
