Monty, age 8 months

Hi! My name is Montreux Mayfield Cowan, but people call me Monty for short. I am an 8-month-old Bernese Mountain Dog, which is why I am so big and fluffy at such a young age. My parents named me Montreux after their favorite town in Switzerland, which is where my breed originates. I was bred as a working dog in the mountains, but instead I enjoy a more laid-back lifestyle of laying on the cold tile floors. I also enjoy early morning and late evening walks when it is coolest outside. Aside from walks, I love to play with other pups. I was even given the "best playmate" award in my puppy play group for being the most social with my friends. So if any other Bellaire doggies want to hang out sometime, let me know. But be warned – I won't go easy on you!
