They are happy when they can make you happy and they will often go through multiple antics to make you smile. One sure sign of affection is the body slam, bouncing off their owner with the slightest provocation, just to say, hey, you are mine and I am yours and we are together.Įntlebuchers have a keen sense of humor and enjoy making their owners laugh.

Hugs and cuddles quickly become “smooshings” if allowed, and the Entle strongly believes the firmer the contact, the more the love. They are physical in their activities, putting their all into everything they do and they are physical with their owners, very demanding when it comes to physical touch. The Entlebucher is a very physical breed. The Entlebucher can out think many other breeds as well as out think their owner, which requires owners to have a vested interest and dedication to training so that the dog learns the behaviors desired rather than dreaming up their own brand of fun. Quite different than their larger cousins, the Bernese and the Greater Swiss, the Entlebucher is an energetic, tireless athlete with the ability to do essentially any activity or sport they are taught.

The Entlebucher Mountain Dog (Ent-Lee-Boo-Cur) is the smallest of the four Swiss Sennenhunds.
