About The Breed

The Greater Swiss Mountain Dog is a large, powerful breed with a striking tri-color coat and a gentle, calm demeanor. Originally bred in Switzerland as a working dog for herding and guarding livestock, this breed is known for its strength, intelligence, and loyalty. Greater Swiss Mountain Dogs are affectionate with their families, good with children, and generally get along well with other pets. Despite their size, they are friendly and social, making them excellent family companions. They are also highly trainable, though they benefit from early socialization and consistent, positive reinforcement. Regular exercise is important to keep them healthy, and their thick coat requires some grooming, particularly during shedding seasons.
