The Greater Swiss Mountain Dog is one of four breeds from Switzerland sharing a black base coat with white and red markings. The Bernese Mountain Dog, recognized by AKC in 1937, is the only one with a longer coat. The smaller Entlebucher Mountain Dog, the only one in the herding group, was recognized in 2011. 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.
