Here's a copule pictures for you.
The ones I've met have really nice temperments. This is what AKC says about temperment:
Temperament
The
temperament is self-confident, alert and good-natured, never sharp or shy. The Bernese Mountain Dog should stand steady, though may remain aloof to the attentions of strangers.
Grooming & training I'm not sure about as I've never owned one. If you're worried about grooming being an issue what about a Greater Swiss Mountain Dog? They look almost exactly like the Bernese, but have short hair instead (also great temperments).
