The Bernese Hound is a variety of the Swiss Hound , which is a breed from Switzerland recognized by the FCI ( FCI Group 6, Section 1.2, Standard No. 59 ).
Origin and history
This breed originated in the Bern area , hence its name. The medium to large (43 to 58 cm, 20 kg) dog is close to the Ariégeois .
