25. Bernese Mountain Dog
These large, sturdy working dogs thrive in cold weather — after all, they once worked on farms in Switzerland.
Today, they make content, playful friends of the entire family, but more often than not, they’ll get attached to just one person who will be lucky to have this protective best friend for life.
