The detail
The largest of the Swiss mountain breeds, bred to pull carts, drive cattle and guard farms in the Alps. The Swissy is a strong, confident and sociable family dog, slow to mature, and happiest with a job such as carting or hiking.
What to weigh
Swissies are strong pullers and stay puppyish for about three years. They are prone to bloat, and some eat anything they find, so plan for training and a close eye on the yard.
