Breed Priorities – Greater Swiss Mountain Dog
The Greater Swiss Mountain Dog is one of four breeds from Switzerland sharing a black base coat with white and red markings.

The next larger Appenzeller Sennenhund has been in the AKC Foundation Stock Service since 2007. In FCI, all four breeds’ names include the word “Sennenhund” (instead of Mountain Dog) which refers to people called Senn who were Swiss alpine herdsmen and dairymen.
