Berners are historically outdoor dogs but are just as at home indoors. They don't particularly like being left for a long time on their own which can be a problem.
I hope you are able to sort out your work pattern and get one because they are fantastic dogs. I am heading to Germany in March to see the missus' family so get to spend a week with 4 of them :D/>
Exactly... hence the failure to do.
I had been told no to a German Shepherd, we had agreed a Border Collie, when the time comes.
Ever thought of a Golden Retriever , My mate has just got one and its a great dog.I also know another guy who has two. I personally love the GS they always seem to have that look of superiority about them very clever and alert all the time. I loved mine and would have trusted it with my kids all day long
Once watched the baby crawl over to him and bite his ear he just yelped then went to lick him.His problem was he was way way to protective of his family and was a danger to strangers.
Now the kids have gone I would go for an German Shepherd again, but its more of a risk than a Lab or Retriever
