    Entlebucher Mountain Dog

    The Entlebucher Mountain Dog hails from Switzerland being the smallest of all the Swiss mountain breeds. They are handsome dogs with their striking tricolour coats and their gentle natures. Although not as popular as the Bernese Mountain Dog they have always been highly prized in their native Switzerland as working dogs but also for being excellent both as companions and family pets. With this said the Entlebucher is gaining popularity here in the UK although anyone wishing to share their home with one of these handsome dogs would need to register their interest with a breed and be put on a waiting list because not many puppies are bred every year.
