The Greater Swiss Mountain Dog is sociable, active, calm, and dignified, and loves being part of the family. It is relatively healthy for its size and tends to have far fewer problems than more popular breeds in its size range. Among the four Sennenhunde or Swiss mountain dogs, this breed is considered the oldest and is also the largest.

These dogs love to chew and may end up swallowing contraband items. Keep the tissues handy too, as they may slobber. While energetic, their demand for exercise is moderate and they love hiking. Try a bush track and you’ll have one happy puppy. Their alert nature also makes them great watchdogs.

Originally bred to herd cattle, pull carts, and serve as a watchdog, the modern Swissy likes to have jobs to do. They excel in obedience, agility, and conformation competitions and do well in drafting, weight pulling, herding, pack hiking, and versatility. The Swissy has also served as a therapy dog and search and rescue dog.

Topping out at well over 100 pounds, the Swissy's size, paired with their deep, loud bark make them a good watchdog. But they're a gentle pooch at heart, devoted to their family and loving with kids. Although they need room to stretch their legs--this isn't an apartment dog--they need only a moderate amount of exercise.
