Your Berger Blanc Suisse should be able to see out the front door when both standing up and sitting. So the Berger Blanc Suisse will not have to significantly lower his front shoulders or scrape his tummy, make sure that door is high enough. Stand over the Berger Blanc Suisse and measure the breadth of the broadest point of the Berger Blanc Suisse’s shoulders.
