What Is A Greater Swiss Mountain Dog

Swissies Are

Ancient - The AKC says Swissies are descended from war dogs brought over the Alps by Julius Ceasar's Legions. Whether that is true or not can be disputed but they are undisputably one of the oldest breeds in Europe.
Hard Working - Swissies are not just beautiful but these Sennenhund or Mountain Dogs were specifically bred to haul meat and dairy products to the market for Swiss Farmers. Their build is beefy and although gentle they are incredibly strong the current record swissy 'pull' is at 5,235 lbs.
Rare - Although Swiss Mountain Dogs were used in the development of Rottweilers and St. Bernard's they almost disappeared until the early 1900s when concerted efforts were made to bring the Breed back to full strength. Today they are recognized in Europe and North America and have enjoyed quite a resurgence although the gene pool is limited and Breeders need to be careful with genetics.
Beautiful - All of the Mountain Dog Breeds are majestic but the Swissy practically invented the word. Large, Muscular, and Beautifully colored, I almost always get attention when I take one of our Dogs into town. They just beg to be petted, and people have to meet them and find more out.
Super Friendly - This is one of the main reasons I adopted our first Swissy, Dutchess. I live on a church campground and we have many visitors and children on the property. These dogs are just perfect for our little farm. The kids can come and play anytime and the dogs just love it. They have almost zero aggression to people in the whole breed and they love to make new friends.
Calm - Swissies are strong and active (they love to hike) but they are generally very calm dogs. One good walk around our forty acres a day and they are satisfied.
Confident - this is a mixed blessing. Swissies are generally not spooky and don't suffer some of the anxieties that other purebreds can. The other side of this coin is that they require a confident pack leader or they will decide to do their own thing. I have had good luck with training our dogs, but it takes patience and consistency. If you are not experienced with dog training you will probably want to take some classes and let a professional help you.

Thank you for taking the time to get acquainted with our kennel and our dogs. If you have any other questions, please call or text, I love to talk about the greater Swiss mountain dog.
