FCI â„–47

 

 

 

The entlebucher is smallest of four breeds of the Swiss mountain and shepherd's dogs. It occurs from a valley of Entlebuh around cantons of Lucerne and Bern.

The first description under the name "Entlibuherhund" is dated 1889, but considerable time after did not become any distinctions between breeds an appenzeller and an entlebucher a sennenhund.

In 1913 four representatives of these small shepherd's dogs with a short tail from a birth have been shown at an exhibition in Langentale, and presented the professor to doctor Albert Hajmu - to the great patron of the Swiss mountain shepherd's breeds.

On the basis of reports of judges they have been brought in the Swiss Breeding Book as the fourth mountain shepherd's breed. However the first standard has been made in 1927.

Sennenhund
After August, 28th, 1926, date of the basis of the Swiss Club of Breed an Entlebucher, created at the initiative of doctor B.Koblera, cultivation of thoroughbred representatives of this breed has begun. Judging by a small amount brought in the Swiss Breeding Blotter, breed developed slowly.

The entlebucher has received a new impulse to development when, besides its such hereditary qualities as vivacity, indefatigability, have been proved its outstanding ability to be a useful dog and the partner.

Today, though and in modest scales, but this attractive three-coloured dog has found the admirers, and its popularity as family dog all grows and grows.

She is a live, self-confident, fearless and cheerful dog. Good-natured both betrayed to familiar people and slightly suspicious to strangers. An incorruptible sentry dog. Cheerful and capable to training.
