Entlebucher Mountain Dog Photos

By Pets Adviser January 29, 2011 Breeds Get Updates

Entlebucher mountain dog photos follow below. But first, you might be asking, what kind of breed is this? First of all, this dog breed is in the news lately because the American Kennel Club (AKC) officially recognized it in January 2011 as a breed.

That gives the Entlebucher mountain dog a little more street cred, if you will. All of which means you should expect to see more of these puppies at your local parks fairly soon.

Native to Switzerland, the very cute Entlebucher mountain dog photographs well, especially as it takes part in competitive sports (at which it excels). It was originally bred to move cows from pasture A to pasture B in the Swiss Alps. This medium-size breed has strong muscles, and works hard. Did we mention it is loyal and protective?

I have heard a little bit about these dogs. They seem like they might make the short list for our new pet. Thanks for the information.
Gerry

They look very adorable and humble. Too bad they are found in Switzerland… I would have loved to have one for a pet.

They are available all over in the U.S., Canada, Europe and Russia, just to name a few places. I’ve had one since 17 years ago in Canada. Of course my Entlebucher has passed away and I have a second one now. They are wonderful dogs. I’d be happy to answer any questions you have about them.

Hi J, thanks for the info.

OK, we’ll ask a question: does yours drool much? Seems like they would be kinda drooly dogs. They’re such handsome pups.

They don’t drool a bit.

I have a 15-month-old male named Willi. He’s really great. Absolutely no destructive habits, very clean, very strong and resilient, easily trained. Only barks when he wants to warn of someone coming. Loves other animals and little kids, but can be shy and wary around strangers (particularly workmen coming into the house — that sort of thing). He has a naturally repellent coat that always looks shiny. He is, however, a dog that, true to his breed (and all descriptions thereof) likes a lot of activity, a true working dog, so this breed is not at all geared for people who want to leave a dog alone for long periods of time. In all respects, a great little companion.

Entlebuchers do not normally drool. Usually dogs with loose flews (droopy lips) drool as the saliva is not held in, but drips down the sides. However, all dogs will drool if you hold a juicy steak in front of them, my Entlebuchers included.

Most people are attracted to this beautiful breed, but few understand that they are high-energy working dogs that need lots of exercise, stimulation and attention. Entlebuchers need at least one hour of vigorous exercise every day. Extremely intelligent and alert, they are great for active owner(s) who can commit to their care and needs. And like any pet, you get back more than what you put into it.
