What are the differences between an Entlebucher and a Great Swiss Mountain Dog?
They are two of the four Swiss Mountain dogs, all four are: Bernese Mountain Dog, Appenzeller, Entlebucher, Great Swiss Mountain dDg.
For first look, the two breeds can look quite similar, both are tri-colored, and have similar shape – but the first difference that we can notice is that the Great Swiss Mountain Dog (as we could guess from the name) is taller and heavier than the Entlebucher: the first breed weighs about 40-65 kgs and is 60-72 cm tall, while his colleuge is only 25-30 kgs and 48-51 cm tall as an average.
Both were bred to be working dogs – the difference is that Swissies used to be flock guardians, while the Entlebucher’s task was to work as a herding dog.
