The Entlebucher Mountain Dog, also known as the Entlebucher Sennenhund, Entlebucher Cattle Dog, or Bouvier de l’Entlebuch, is the smallest and most agile of the four Swiss mountain breeds. Originating from Switzerland, this breed was traditionally used for herding cattle and guarding farms, admired for its intelligence, loyalty, and hardworking nature.
Compact, muscular, and beautifully proportioned, the Entlebucher features a striking tricoloured coat — black with symmetrical white and rich tan markings. Their bright eyes and confident stance reflect their alert, devoted personality. Though less known than the Bernese Mountain Dog, the Entlebucher is highly valued in its homeland as both a reliable working dog and a loyal family companion.
These dogs are affectionate, intelligent, and energetic, forming strong bonds with their owners. They thrive in active households where they can have both physical and mental stimulation. With their protective instincts and cheerful disposition, Entlebuchers make wonderful companions for families who enjoy an outdoor lifestyle and appreciate a loyal, spirited dog.
