 The
Bernese Mountain Dog is the best known of the Swiss mountain dogs
and it can be readily distinguished from the other varieties by its
coat, which is long and slightly wavy in appearance, without being
curly. In terms of colorations and markings, the Bernese is identical
to the mountain dogs. A white blaze on the head extending between
the eyes and a white chest marking known as a cross, are essential
characteristics. White paws, ideally extending no farther than the
pastern are also preferred, as is a white tip to the tail.
