They're out of the same family. Berners, Pyrs, St.Bernards, Leonbergers and Newfoundlands are all related. Out of all of them Pyrs have the longest life span at 10-12 years. We were gonna get a Berner, but the life spans are SO short (6-9 years) that it would've broken our hearts just as his or hers personality had just really blossomed.
All of these dogs are big lovable goofs and very intellegent. I've never seen any of them that weren't gentle giants. We go to a "doggie happy hour" in Old Town Alexandria, and there's a huge Newfoundland, that just loves to roll over and have his belly scratched, he'll lay there for hours as long as someone walks by and gives him a good scratch So far shedding hasn't been an issue, but his adult double coat is just now starting to grow in. Now I'm all melancholy, Mac is at the vet's overnight 'cause he got neutered, and he had to have one of his dewclaws removed, 'cause the nail was spiraling..

(Lots of hair, though, right?) Are they related to Bernese mountain dogs? I wondered if the White that the Berners have may come from or be related to the Pyreneans. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:210772 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
