Great Pyrenees
The double-layered coat found in the Great Pyrenees repels matting and sheds dirt. The coat is easy and quick to clean, but it can shed a lot. You should brush your Pyr at least 30 minutes each week. It also needs its nails clipped and ears cleaned regularly. Important step is to make sure your Pyr is only washed when it is really dirty. For the first two weeks, you should bathe your Great Pyrenees at least once per month.
Great Pyrenees breeders need to have written documentation proving that the dog has had all required tests. While a vet visit is acceptable, a genetic testing is essential. Another way to ensure a healthy puppy is to adopt an adult Great Pyrenees from a shelter or rescue group. Great Pyrenees are known to live for about 10 to 12 years. A puppy can be a great way to acquire a pet. However, it is important that you gather all information before you make any purchase.
Bernese Mountain Dog
Bernese Mountain Dogs can be one of the biggest big dog breeds. They are large and tall with thick furry coats that make them stand out from the rest of the large dog breeds. Many people enjoy having one of these magnificent pets. This breed of dog is named after its native Switzerland, and has ancient roots there. The breed came to the United States during the 1920s and was registered by the American Kennel Club in 1936. Berners can be gentle giants despite their large size and they are great with children.
Greater Swiss Mountain Dogs are another great breed. These dogs are known for their intelligence and sociability. Entlebucher (their name) means "laughing canine". They make excellent watchdogs and are known for being gentle with children and other dogs. They do require a lot of mental stimulation and exercise to stay happy and healthy. They are an excellent companion for a family with children, and they are known to be playful, even with small children.
Catalan Sheepdog
As a working breed, the Catalan Sheepdog requires a lot of exercise and daily walk time. Although its thick, dense coat makes it weatherproof, it can still be susceptible to dirt and other germs. As such, owners must give their dog regular brushing and trimming. Catalans are easy to groom. However, many people prefer to take their cats to the groomer.
Due to their large size and history of herding, the Catalan Sheepdog requires lots of exercise and will do best in a household with an active lifestyle and large yard. Catalan Sheepdogs require two hours of vigorous exercise per day. This can be broken into two sessions. Their high energy level will benefit from a structured activity schedule, such as playing fetch, or engaging in interactive games with their owner.
Russian Bear Dog
People looking to be a big couch potato can choose the Russian Bear Dog as their best choice. This breed is very low in energy so it can be overweight. It needs to be exercised to keep fit. You should exercise your dog at least 30 minutes each day. If this seems difficult, you can also play puzzle games with your Russian Bear Dog. However, keep in mind that this breed is prone to elbow dysplasia and hip dysplasia, which can lead to pain and stiffness in the joints.
The Russian Bear Dog requires regular exercise, and should be taken out every day for a short walk or hike. Boredom can cause dangerous behavior and even lead to death. This breed should not be left untrained. Even the most experienced dog trainers may have trouble training this breed.

This problem can be prevented by being educated about the history of the breed in order for your dog to reach its full potential.
