All about the greater Swiss Mountain Dog, grosser Schweizer Sennenhund, Bernese Mountain Dog

Welcome to Swissie the great swiss mountain dog

Hi, this is the home of the Big Swiss Mountain Dog, also called Swissie.

While there is speculation that he was imported into Switzerland many hundreds of years ago from the south, his current home is the Bernese Oberland in Switzerland and is called “der grosse Berner Sennenhund” there.

The Swissie a large dog, with some males weighing more than 50 kilos. His fur is soft and long and mostly straight but thick, so it will need a good amount of care and daily combing. He has a black coat on his back, brown patches on the front, especially the two dots above his eyes, a white breast and white patches on his paws and sometimes his tail.

The Large Swiss Mountain Dog has a strong character and will not take orders in a docile manner. He is used to doing things his way. However, he is reliable and freindly.

This site will contain information, pictures, video and tips on the Swissie.
