Nala 110 lbs. – 26″ tall
Nala is one of our largest Bernese, out sizing most at 110lbs. Nala has inherited the deep loyalty and devotion that the Bernese Mountain dog is known for. She is extremely gentle and warm-hearted towards her people and is a perfect companion, ready for any adventure no matter the task and happy to be with her pack. She is a very low maintenance dog and if not for her stunning looks and sheer size which gives her such a strong presence, you would hardly be able to tell she’s there. She undoubtedly loves the snow more than anything and would spend the entirety of the Winter outside if it was up to her. Although she carries a calmer and content disposition, she like any dog has her quirks and games that she loves and is always up for a round of fetch or chase and tackle with her friends and would continue until she is blue in the face, but on the average day she is happy to roll around and take in the fresh air. Nala is great with kids and is always a crowd favourite, often rolling over to expose her belly for rubs when people gather to pet her. She is a poised and confident dog, though she often does not seek people out and is not easily excitable by people like some. She would much rather bury her face in someone she trusts lap to show her fondness and can be somewhat heedful to those she does not know. She is extremely sociable with other animals, especially dogs and is always the first to initiate play, making sure everyone gets in on the fun. Nala’s perfect day is a snowy one with a walk on the trails with her favourite pals, a car ride to Tim Hortons to get her favourite Timbit and ends with a snuggle and a nice warm blanket and a bone.
Nala is extremely well mannered and docile for the most part, eager to please and easy to train. She can be somewhat of a troublemaker when she is bored or lacking attention and has stubborn tendencies which known to often come with the breed. She is very intelligent, with a deep love for food as well as praise and encouragement filled training sessions. She also knows how to self entertain and is good at being independent when necessary. Nala is the type of dog that can make fun with a leaf for as long as necessary if there if no one to fulfill her by engaging in her spurts of energy and desire to play. She is great to take out, with no reactive tendencies and is rather indifferent to things around her. She is a well-balanced dog and has a strong mind and a stronger heart and to call her an amazing dog would be an understatement.
