"if another persons ask if i am a bernese mountain dog i will go nuts. i am posting a picture of one so my many fans can see the difference and spread the word. like me they are tri color but I am black white and brown they are black white and rust. a bernese gives the impression of a white horse shoe shape around the nose and a white swiss cross on the chest, I have a simple blaze my entire tummy is white. bernese are laid back, aussies more energetic, they have different texture coat, are thicker boned, and not as athletic and smart as aussies, imho"
