The Mysterious Bernese Mountain Bulldog Mix
top animals TV the mysterious Bernese Mountain Bulldog Knicks the Mountain Bulldog is a rather large hybrid breed that brings together the bernese mountain dog with the Bulldog this does mean that they are two dogs that are other rather large and powerful size which does then mean that they go together rather well and produce a dog that is very strong and powerful indeed however you will often have a problem in that people may have very well heard of the parent breeds but put them together in this way and our level of knowledge about the hybrid breed is going to be diminished in order to counteract that we have sought to produce this complete guide to make life easier our intention is to offer you all of the key pieces of information that we believe you are going to need in order to then understanding what this breed is ultimately going to require before you become their owner by the end of it all you are going to feel substantially more confident in looking after them however prior to starting we do want to turn our attention to you as that is where everything is going to begin number one physical traits of the Mountain Bulldog physically the Mountain Bulldog is going to bring together aspects of both parent breeds however there can often be a tendency for them to look a certain way and this is what we are going to focus on they are classed as being a large to giant size dog and they will certainly have a strong and powerful build to them if the Bulldog aspect is the stronger set of genes then they can have the familiar Bulldog stance that makes them look even more imposing than they already were generally their code is going to be quite short and straight their neck and head will be powerful and there is a tendency to have almond shaped eyes and a short muzzle also their ears are flappy and fold over their fur can come in a variety of colors as well and requires relatively little maintenance the colors include the likes of fawn red yellow black white and brindle number two how big is a full-grown Mountain Bulldog this is a large dog and you can tell that by its height and weight where the male is often more to the upper end of the limits than the females however both are strong and powerful dogs so do not think that you are getting off more lightly with a female in general the breed is going to grow to anywhere from 20 to 24 inches in height while their weight is from 80 to 120 pounds number three intelligence temperament and personality traits of the Mountain Bulldog even though this dog does look fierce it has a heart of gold and they are going to be a lot kinder and more compassionate than you would perhaps give them credit for they are also very intelligent and will pick up on new commands quite quickly compared to other breeds they are also quite docile and will want to make you happy with them which is why they are relatively easy to train they are very friendly and will protect their family and there is a certain wariness about strangers which is a good trait for them to have they do have a sensitive side and you must be aware of this and let them see that you care about them and love them they will also be very loyal to their family at all times and ultimately they will want to be the best dog possible for you at all times number four what is the life expectancy of the Mountain Bulldog the life expectancy of the Mountain Bulldog can be quite varied in general you are looking at it being anywhere from eight to thirteen years of age which is certainly a rather wide age range as long as they manage to stay quite healthy then there is no reason why they cannot get to that thirteen years number five the mountain Bulldogs diet the mountain Bulldogs should be kept on a leash when outside the mountain Bulldog is a large dog which then translates into them having a large diet to take care of you are looking at them getting three cups of food per day but it is how you feed them and what you feed them that will really be the key those three cups can be spread across two meals and that is certainly advisable also as they are quite docile they can be prone to putting on weight which is why you need to be very careful with what you end up feeding them stick to the high quality dry dog food for larger dogs as that is going to provide them with everything that they need in regulated amounts stick to the guidelines because it is all carefully measured out if you are wondering about the cheaper dog food then be warned that it will be cheaper as it contains less ingredients that are helpful to your dog avoid them at all costs also if you buy them as a puppy then you need to ask the breeder for advice on what to feed them how much and how often a good breeder will be able to provide you with this information and you then need to stick to it all you can provide them with treats but this is in a controlled manner and at random times do not make a big deal of it as they will eat pretty much anything that you give them also if you like the idea of table food then do so in a restricted manner they are going to love your meat fish and vegetables but they still need those key nutrients so do not exceed more than fifteen percent of their daily intake number six how much exercise does a mountain Bulldog need a mountain Bulldog does not require an excessive amount of exercise as they are not really known for their stamina and energy levels however that does not mean that you can ignore exercise completely you are really looking at a moderate paced walk that lasts for around 45 minutes per day thanks to their docile nature they can live in an apartment and will be quite happy to do so just as long as they do get out and about to socialize with other dogs number seven Mountain Bulldog health and conditions there are different health conditions that can affect this breed and being aware of them can help you to identify a potential problem as early as possible a breeder should also provide you with information on the parents and whether or not they have been checked over by a vet this reduces the chances of things being passed on genetically the main health conditions to be aware of with this breed are PSS cancer von Willebrand’s disease bloat dysplasia pano it does sound horrible but they are actually quite a healthy breed of dog for you to own number eight what price our Mountain bulldog puppies when it comes to the price of mountain bulldog puppies then there are a certain number of key factors that have an impact on the final price that you are expected to pay the thing to remember is that this does give some variations so we cannot provide you with an accurate and exact figure one of the main factors that people are previously aware of has to be the pedigree of the parents of the breed it is often accepted that if the pedigree is good then you will be expected to pay a higher price this is thanks to the commonly held belief that it leads to a stronger healthier dog that has a smaller number of problems in addition the various breeders themselves are going to have their own personal ideas as to what they current rate is while those breeders that have a more stellar reputation are going to generally charge more this just makes shopping around even more important than you or perhaps aware the final thing is your location because where you are living in the world and in your country is also going to change things do your research because the variation in price just within one country can be quite substantial when you then think about all of these things it does ultimately lead to their just being a kind of ballpark figure that is linked to the breed in the United States you can expect people to be paying around $600 to over $1000 in some instances in the United Kingdom you can be paying around 1,000 pounds for this particular breed number nine how to find reputable mountain bull dog breeders in order to locate a reputable mountain bull dog breeder it will be important that you are willing to carry out some research that is of your own however there is no need to panic as this is going to be easier than you might have expected obviously going to the Internet will prove to be the best idea and you have to be prepared to spend a bit of time looking for groups clubs or associations that are in your area and have something to do with this breed in general the people within these kinds of groups have the real future of the breed firmly in their mind so they are more than happy to pass on advice to others that are showing a similar interest this is not a purebred dog so they are not listed with the Kennel Club but they can still be worth checking out and asking if they can help they may very well be in a position to point you in a direction of who would be the best point of contact which is pretty good to know the last thing is the dog breeders Association that represents your country as they can also help you out they will either going to have a list of breeders that they are in a position to pass you on to or they could use the same approach as the Kennel Club my final thoughts on the mountain bulldog overall the mountain bulldog is a wonderful breed that shows how looks can indeed be deceptive if you want a dog that looks fierce but is very soft and a wonderful family dog then this could very well be the breed for you ultimately if you treat them right you are going to have a loyal and loving dog that will protect you and your family at all times they will be full of character and a joy to be around and be a welcome addition to your home [Music] you [Music]
