The Greater Swiss Mountain Dog: A Complete And Comprehensive Owners Guide To: Buying, Owning, Health, Grooming, Training, Obedience, Understanding And Caring For Your Greater Swiss Mountain Dog

The Greater Swiss Mountain Dog is a large breed of dog that was developed in the Swiss Alps. The Greater Swiss Mountain Dog is believed to be a product of mating the indigenous dog breeds found in the Swiss Alps with large mastiff types who were brought to Switzerland by foreign settlers. The breed is a member of the Sennenhund typing and is considered to be the largest and most ancient of the four breeds. The Greater Swiss Mountain Dog was originally used as an all-purpose farm dog. The Greater Swiss Mountain Dog was considered to be one of the most popular breeds within Switzerland but almost died out during the late 19th century due to the fact that all of the breed's duties were being performed by other breeds of dog or machines. The Greater Swiss Mountain Dog has a large heavy-boned physique with immense physical strength but is relatively agile which allowed it to easily complete any farm worked that it was tasked with. The temperament of dogs is normally affected by the following factors: individual personality, heredity, training and socialization. It is therefore important to make sure that you meet the puppy's mother before purchasing a Greater Swiss Mountain Dog. It is also important to make sure to thoroughly socialize your Greater Swiss Mountain Dog with strangers, children and other animals during its puppyhood. Generally speaking, the Greater Swiss Mountain Dog is sociable, affectionate, clam and dignified. The breed is also relatively healthy and tends to suffer dramatically less ailments that tend to hinder other large breeds of dog. It is important to note that as a working breed, the Greater Swiss Mountain Dog has a high amount of energy which needs to be expended. If the Greater Swiss Mountain Dog has a buildup of energy it is likely to develop destructive behaviors due to boredom or hyperactivity. The breed has a tricolored (black, white and tan) double coat. The breed's coat can range in length and texture from short, fine and straight to wavy, long and coarse.
