The Entlebucher Mountain Dog

The Entlebucher Mountain Dog, also commonly known as the Entlebucher Mountain Sennenhund or the Entlebucher Cattle Dog, is a medium-sized breed of herding dog. The Entlebucher Mountain Dog is one of the four regional breeds of Sennenhunde-type dogs that originate from the Swiss Alps. The name 'Sennenhunde' comes from the Swiss word 'Senn' which refers to the herders from the Appenzell region in Switzerland. The breed was originally developed to be both a cattle herding dog and a flock guardian. There is a physical difference between the males and females of the Entlebucher Mountain Dog breed: females have a square body shape while males tend to be longer and less square shaped. The breed as a whole has a sturdily built frame, small triangular ears and relatively small brown eyes. The breed standard states that the Entlebucher Mountain Dog is 'good-natured and devoted towards people familiar to him' while being 'slightly suspicious of strangers.' However it is important to remember that the temperament of an individual dog may vary from the breed standard. Due to their size and strength it is important to make sure that your Entlebucher Mountain Dog is well socialized with both adults, children and other animals. The Entlebucher Mountain Dog in modern times is normally found as a family companion dog due to their loving and loyal nature.
