COAT
The coat is thick, moderately long and slightly wavy or straight. It has a bright natural sheen. Extremely curly or extremely dull-looking coats are undesirable
CHARACTER
The temperament is self-confident, alert and good-natured, never sharp or shy. The Bernese Mountain Dog should stand steady, though may remain aloof to the attentions of strangers

Texturizing Mist (diluted 50:50 with water) while line brushing will hold coat up long enough for judging. |
| Spot Whitening/Urine Stains |
Use a small amount of Cleansing Shampoo full strength, wait 5 minutes and rinse |
| Extra Volume |
Super Coat (diluted 50-50 with water) while line brushing. If very humid try Texturizing Mist instead. |

Nothing will prevent shedding completely. It is a normal, necessary
process for these breeds. |
