The name Sennenhund is derived from the German words Senne ("alpine pasture") and Hund ("dog"), as they accompanied the alpine herders and dairymen called Sennen. Berner (or Bernese in English) refers to the area of the breed’s origin, in the canton of Bern. This large mountain dog was originally kept as a general farm dog. The breed was officially established in 1907 and till today is very popular.[
