Introduction

Known for their immense strength and amiable nature, Greater Swiss Mountain Dogs are multi-purpose working canines. Their striking tricolor coat, marked by black, white, and rust, adds to their robust appearance. They possess a sturdy build and are one of the larger breeds, radiating confidence and composure. An affectionate family pet, Swissies, as they are lovingly called, exhibit loyalty and protectiveness toward their owners, demanding moderate exercise to match their energy levels.
