A Bernese mountain dog and Labrador mix has left internet onlookers stunned by its unique appearance. Dogs are well known for their striking variations in both shape and size, and this particular case, a dog named Oliver, shows how unique some can be. In a viral video uploaded to a TikTok account named oliverthebernese, users can see what a mix of these two breeds looks like.
The viral video was captioned "Ever wonder what a Bernese Mountain dog and Lab mix looks like?" and depicts Oliver's owner giving him a nice scratch while he looks calmly into the camera. Another caption on the video reads: "And I'm the cutest boy ever." Other videos shared by the account show Oliver playing around the home and getting into a playful mood during walks in the woods.
"Berners get along with the entire family and are particularly gentle with children, but they will often become more attached to one lucky human," according to the American Kennel Club's (AKC) website. "Berners are imposing but not threatening, and they maintain an aloof dignity with strangers." This mix brings together the friendly nature of Labradors and the gentle temperament of Bernese mountain dogs, making it a delightful pet.
The AKC further explains that "They are companionable housemates who bond with the whole family, and they socialize well with neighbor dogs and humans alike. But don't mistake his easygoing personality for low energy. The Lab is an enthusiastic athlete that requires lots of exercise, like swimming and marathon games of fetch, to keep physically and mentally fit." This combination provides the best of both worlds, resulting in a lively and loving companion.
As of now, the video showcasing Oliver has been viewed over 1.8 million times since being shared on July 18, attracting 135,600 likes. The overwhelming number of commenters have praised the dog and shared their experiences with similar breeds. TikTok user Cheese and Rise quipped, "I was wondering why he was super fluffy." Rachael Collins shared, "I have one as well but his mom was a black Labrador and his dad was the Bernese such a lovely calm animal." The comments reflect a shared love and appreciation for this beautiful mix.
