Well, since I've got my first berner now, I can't really say a good answer to this. Sammy is 1.5 now, and I'm not sure whether he's got his full adult coat, but I'd guess yes. However, looking at pictures of other berners he definitely is a little on the less-massive size, both in terms of his actual height and weight, and also I think his coat length. His fur is a bit more wavy/curly than some berners', and perhaps that makes it stick a bit closer to his body. I was watching the berner section of the westminster dog show online, and those dogs do look to be a bit fluffier-coated than sam, though I guess a whole lot of brushing might make that difference!
