Question

Bernese mountain dog
I have 2 Bernese mountain dog puppies(about 6 months old) and I have a pot-bellied pig named Missy. I am wondering if I could leave them alone in my yard. I really do want Missy,Charlotte and Max to be able to get along. (Charlotte and Max are my dogs) So if you can give me some information, please let me know!!! Thank You
PS.The dog in the picture is about the size of mine.

Answer
Hello,
My experience with pigs getting alone with dogs has always been positive.  
I also believe that different species of animals shouldn't be left together unattended.  There is always a chance that something can go wrong and without you there to oversee things it could  turn into a bad situation.
