Entlebucher Sennenhund Information
The Entlebucher is the smallest of the four Swiss Mountain-and Cattle dogs. They originated from Entlebuch, a valley in the district of the Cantons Lucerne and Berne. The first description under the name "Entlibucherhund" dates from the year 1889, but for a considerable time after that date no difference was made between Appenzell and Entlebuch Cattle Dogs. They were originally used as a watchdog after being introduced to the Roman nobility by Alexander the Great. They were eventually brought into Switzerland and used primarily by Alpine herdsman to drive cattle.
Although they are categorized as a medium size dog, they have all the muscle of a full size model. You definitely can expect a big dog in a more compact package. They are solid dogs and can easily bump into a child and knock them down, so they're not recommended for those with young children.
The Entlebucher is very friendly and enjoy being around people as well as other dogs. They are loyal and easy going and known for becoming extremely attached to their owners. They are clean dogs and require minimal grooming. They are very smart dogs who tend to learn very quickly.
Health concerns include Hip Dysplasia and Progressive Retinal Atrophy.
