What
I like em. But I bet they drool from the mouth a lot.
I love the breed❤❤❤
They are cute and very lovable too
Let it go. There is one in every group. And it's drool moron. Geez! Just enjoy the pups! Gorgeous dogs.
Regarding shorter lifespan: there's four drivers: size, genetics, sterilization method, lifestyle /socioeconomic factors.
– Larger dogs mature into adulthood slower, but then age more quickly then smaller dogs.
– breeding practices has resulted in some breeds having higher rates of some deadly diseases
– sterililzation method: there's two main ways to sterilize. Those that remove hormones (gonadectomy/castration/full spay/neuter) ans those that spare hormones (hormone sparing sterililzation, ovary sparring spay, tubal ligation, vastecomy) and is Similar in health to being intact (oss may reduce some issues). Removing hormones can reduce some diseases, but increase but others.. Which is better is… Debatable. There's a limited studies that account for …
– socioeconomic factors: working dogs tend to have higher risks due to being outside more/etc, dogs in lower income households tend to more often be working dogs, have less vet care (and thus tend to more often intact, which makes studies around sterililzation methods have confounding bias issues)
So, as large working dog, a shorter lifespan is expected alas.
Don’t forget they don’t know they are big, they can act catlike, they are lap dogs. (at least with the Tibetan Mastiff)
I have two berners. One is 2 and the other is 10. Even though she’s old, she still acts like a puppy. Yes, they shed but its not that bad. Most people also don’t own Bernie’s mountain dogs if they live in hot climates. So…I completely disagree with you. My dogs are awesome
shorter life span😢
