Full description

The Entlebucher Mountain Dog is an agile, energetic and highly attentive working breed. It is loyal to its family, quick to learn and happiest when given regular physical activity and purposeful mental work. Early socialisation, consistent training and a secure environment are essential. Without enough engagement, it may become noisy, restless or destructive.
