Swiss DOG BREED farmers have historically used the Entlebucher to move cows from STANDARD pasture to pasture in the Alps. Their keen intelligence, speed and agility also made them useful for the management of other large Eligible to Compete in animals such as horses and hogs.

He has a short, hard and shiny coat, bright black with symmetrical markings of pure white on blaze, muzzle, chest, and feet; shades of rich fawn to mahogany are present on the eyebrows and between the black and white markings. Prized for his agreeable nature, ease of training, and devotion to family, the Entlebucher possesses an excellent work ethic, and the ability to work alone or in harmony with his master. Given a job, he transforms from a lively, high-spirited playmate, to a serious, tireless, self JUDGES assured dog of commanding presence. Although primarily a drover, N Entles excel at competitive sports and are willing and enthusiastic IO partners in any athletic canine activity chosen by their master. Purpose and heritage have resulted in an unusually intense bonding at between the Entlebucher and his master; however the Entlebucher should not be considered a breed for the casual owner. He will remain an active, highly energetic dog for his entire lifetime.
