Wouldn't there be any problem if I give in to their wishes? I mean, my kids are still small (one 6, the other is 3) and Berners can be HUGE! I've also heard that Berner pups can be quite overexuberant at times. I'm really quite worried that my kids may be hurt when they play. Any advice?

Hi there. We have a 9 year old Berner, Brodie and our 2 boys are aged 8 and 6 now. Brodie has always been fantastic with the boys, despite his size (he is huge!)He is so gentle and very patient with them at all times. He was quite protective of them when they were babies especially. We're hoping to get another new Berner pup soon and as a breed I would have no hesitation in recommending them as a family dog - we wouldn't think of having anything else!!
