I'm planning on getting a Bernese Mountain Dog. They are lovely dogs but very short life expectancy - can be as little as 8 years.
That means when the inevitable happens my children could be as young as 9 and 10 (and they might find it all too distressing). Is this a reason for not getting this breed, or am I being daft?
