These gentle giant are great to play... Here in Switzerland they are called "Bernardiner".

If you (and your mother ) liked them, you'll fall in love for other big and sweet ones we have here as: Great Swiss Mountain Dog, Great Berner Mountain Dog.

When they are puppies, they look like a giant doll, and they are "smiling" all the time.
Canis Amicus-

Hey you live in Switerland!! I would love to see all of the Swissies over there!! I have one!! You can see him in my signature. I adopted him in North Carolina, but his grandfather was from Switzerland! Are there Swissies all over the place where you are?, i know they are very rare here, and aside from Dale, my Swissie, I have only ever seen his brothers and sisters in person, and his mommy and daddy. Yes, they do have that "Swissie smile"

BTW, DogLover9501, Swissies are a short haired, big dog, and they do not drool like the St. Bernard...they are considered a dry mouth dog, their "fluves" (sp?) in their mouth are dry.

But i agree, i love those big doggies!!!
