Large-dog cost is a core gate
Bernese Mountain Dog fit should start with logistics and budget, not only temperament. Breed profile signals around cost, size, grooming, and health-planning point toward higher food, equipment, transport, grooming, and veterinary exposure. A good match has space for large bedding, safe vehicle access, controlled stairs, and an emergency buffer before problems appear. Avoid making health predictions, but it should ask whether the owner can absorb a larger planning burden than many medium breeds require over time. Daily logistics should feel realistic before adoption.
