Book Description
The Greater Swiss Mountain Dog descends from Switzerland's most ancient dogs and is the largest of the country's four Sennenhund breeds. Although a fairly new face in the US and England, the Swissy, as he's affectionately known, excels at cart-pulling, herding and guarding: he is prized as an "all-arounder," though draft work was his original occupation. Breeders today embrace the breed's tradition and involve their dogs in carting and weight-pulling events. The breed's black, tan and white tricolor markings, in fact the hallmark of all four Swiss mountain breeds, distinguish him as a handsome working dog of impressive height and musculature: he stands 27–28 inches at the shoulder. Like his homeland, the Swissy is industrious, versatile and easy to get along with, an ideal family dog who loves children and devotedly guards them. For an owner willing to give him the exercise, training and leg room he requires, the Swissy makes an exceptional choice. This new Special Limited Edition by well-known dog author Nikki Moustaki presents a complete introduction to the Greater Swiss Mountain Dog breed, including a look at the breed's long and romantic history and its present-day status, its characteristics and owner requirements and the breed standard. Chapters instructing new owners how to select, train and care for the puppy are comprehensive and well illustrated. Additionally, the book provides advice on feeding, grooming, house-training, obedience, showing and more. An up-to-date accurate chapter on healthcare for dogs, written by Dr. Lowell Ackerman, discusses everything a responsible owner needs to know about inoculations, parasites, spaying/neutering and much more.

Book Description
The Greater Swiss Mountain Dog is a large breed of dog that was developed in the Swiss Alps. The Greater Swiss Mountain Dog is believed to be a product of mating the indigenous dog breeds found in the Swiss Alps with large mastiff types who were brought to Switzerland by foreign settlers. The breed is a member of the Sennenhund typing and is considered to be the largest and most ancient of the four breeds. The Greater Swiss Mountain Dog was originally used as an all-purpose farm dog. The Greater Swiss Mountain Dog was considered to be one of the most popular breeds within Switzerland but almost died out during the late 19th century due to the fact that all of the breed's duties were being performed by other breeds of dog or machines. The Greater Swiss Mountain Dog has a large heavy-boned physique with immense physical strength but is relatively agile which allowed it to easily complete any farm worked that it was tasked with. The temperament of dogs is normally affected by the following factors: individual personality, heredity, training and socialization. It is therefore important to make sure that you meet the puppy's mother before purchasing a Greater Swiss Mountain Dog. It is also important to make sure to thoroughly socialize your Greater Swiss Mountain Dog with strangers, children and other animals during its puppyhood. Generally speaking, the Greater Swiss Mountain Dog is sociable, affectionate, clam and dignified. The breed is also relatively healthy and tends to suffer dramatically less ailments that tend to hinder other large breeds of dog. It is important to note that as a working breed, the Greater Swiss Mountain Dog has a high amount of energy which needs to be expended. If the Greater Swiss Mountain Dog has a buildup of energy it is likely to develop destructive behaviors due to boredom or hyperactivity. The breed has a tricolored (black, white and tan) double coat. The breed's coat can range in length and texture from short, fine and straight to wavy, long and coarse. Before purchasing any pet it is important to understand that as a pet owner you are responsible for the care and wellbeing of your pet. It is important to try and learn as much as you can about the animal you are considering to keep as a pet to make sure that your lifestyle, household and financial status are suited to provide your pet with the best possible care.
