The foundation focuses on enabling scientific research, breeding decisions, and treatment options to help increase the lifespan of Bernese Mountain Dogs. The current life expectancy of a Bernese Mountain Dog is approximately 8 years, primarily due to cancers and other diseases that affect the breed.
