The Temperament of the Greater Swiss Mountain Dog
The Greater Swiss Mountain Dog has a gentle nature,even though it is a large dog, that has strong protective instincts. Particularly seen in its relationship with its family and children, the sweet disposition and balanced temperament is an ideal combination that makes this dog a wonderful companion. They are strong, active, and very agile; irrespective of their very large size. A Greater Swiss Mountain Dog is ideal for weight-pulling competitions since they are easily trainable and very intelligent. They also excel at herding. These large and affectionate dogs need attention and care, since they love to be part of the family circle. Their strong protective instinct stems from their strong pact-instinct. In order to learn where their place is in the family, they need proper training. They always like to be around large families (their pack, so to speak ) and get agitated if members of their “pack” wander off, or get lost. An ideal family dog, they love to nurture and care for those they love.
