Which type of owner is specifically warned against when considering a Berger Blanc Suisse?
Answer
The Hands-Off Owner
The BBS requires deep integration into the family unit and demands substantial mental stimulation; they do not cope well when isolated or left alone for extended durations. Therefore, the breed is strongly cautioned against for the 'Hands-Off Owner'—those individuals who desire a dog to be left primarily in a backyard or who neglect the critical need for consistent mental engagement. Such boredom and isolation quickly manifest as restlessness, destructive behavior, or anxiety issues.
