I had a Greater Swiss and while challenging as they can be stubborn, I think this actually adds to their appeal. They feel more like a equal presence with their own wants and desires.. Once socialized, I have never seen such a loving dog as the one I had. Even though he was larger than average (150 lbs) he was so obviously non-threatening that parents would allow their children to run right up to him on our walks.. In his entire life, he never showed any aggression. I called him my "Zen-dog". He was like the best blood pressure medication (stress reliever) one could have... He never met a person he didn't absolutely love.. He was the very best dog I have EVER seen around children (and we didn't have any). He intuitively knew that small children were the analog of puppies and he took incredible care around them and also took incredible abuse from them without retaliating in ANY way. One interesting point is that they are one of the few breeds where you can see the whites of their eyes and it makes looking at them like looking into the eyes of a human (absolutely wonderful - not creepy at all).. they also love to stare into your eyes (was not dominant behavior.. just breed specific). I think this was one of the reasons why Swissies and their owners bond so deeply.. They always want to be in the same room as you and are an incredibly social and loving breed. I have known other Swissies and while they have their obvious personality differences, they are all quite wonderfully similar. I lost my big guy at 8 years due to cancer - which is rare in the breed. If I get another dog, there is absolutely no question that I would get another Swissy. Their positive qualities (too numerous to list) outweigh their few negative qualities.. The fact that they are so beautiful with their markings, disarms EVERYONE and I have never met so many people in my life as I did while walking my dog.. Another wonderful dog like a Rottweiler, Doberman or Shepherd would not have had the same response from people.. It allowed me to interact with everyone I met in a very relaxed way as no-one seemed scared of him even though he was the same size as a male Mountain Lion! Early socialization is key, but very easy but they are a pain in the ass to potty train. They are alarm barkers (you ALWAYS know when the UPS guy shows up). But they don't go crazy.. Incredibly observant.. My guy would bark sometimes and I wouldn't know why.. Only to find that the front door was ajar ("not correct" as he saw it). While I can't imagine that he would ever attack someone breaking into the house. He would bark and alert everyone immediately and constantly... and frankly, you would have to be 100% crazy to break into a house with a dog of that size, with a bark as deep and loud as his.. My wife and I never felt so safe and at peace as when he was around. Our best companion and guardian angel. Keep in mind, they think they are lap dogs (they are). Be prepared for that! Also be prepared that the bond you will build with one of these dogs will make losing them as hard as losing an intimately close human loved-one (that is not an exaggeration). I can say that "owning" my big Swisssy (his name was "Zug") was one of the absolutely best things ever to happen to me in my life. I miss him dearly.. He was a true gentle giant and one of the true loves of my life..
I love Gideon(my swissy) I cant imagine losing him. Everything you say is the truth although he has taken watchdog duty to the next level. He came into my life when i needed him ...and he had been dumped.i found out where he came from and the kennel... I cant imagine for the life of me why a person would throw away this extraordinary (dog) _(person) ?? Our bond is supernatural. Im like a dog whisperer. If you decide you want another... We could arrange something . Im sure we could find a match for a litter of pups.. Anyone with a swissy and has a heart understands.
That sounds just like my swiss Boo,,, very sorry for your loss, the most loving dog I have ever been around to say the least !!! Thank you for you post and comments about your swiss,,,,, could not describe my swiss better,,
Had to dislike. The video was fun and could've been educational but HALF the pictures or more were of Bernese Mountain Dogs! They're not the same breed!
The Mollosar was taken back to Rome (along with a statue currently in the British Museum) as war booty after the Romans conquered Macedonia. Like the Coelacanth the rumors of its extinction were wrong. The Sennehund breeds: Berner, Appenzeller and Entlbutcher as well as the Saint Bernard all derive from the GSMD.
I have a Swissy Border Collie mix, and I don't know if I could handle a full Swissy. Mine is such a fearless bully with unlimited energy. She's 5 now, and lot more calm She repeatedly tried to pull an elderly family member off the chair today, because we weren't following our normal schedule, due to Christmas celebrations. She was an absolute terror the first two years. She would climb on window sills, and run at top speed throughout the house, and down the stairs, which we call that "going feral". She used to eat stones when we first got her. Now she demands to be massaged during all waking hours. Is this behavior normal with a Swissy? We normally had German Sheppard's which are much easier to control.
Hi there, you have way too many photos of Bernese Mountain Dogs in your video rather than swissies, I have 2 Bernese Mountain Dogs (Berners) so I know the difference. Just thought you should know. 🐾🐾

It would be a better video if 1) the photos of Berners were removed and 2) many of the Swissy photos had been used with permission.

In Dogs 201 you learn about the Swissy by watching video of tri-colored Daschunds.
Love my dog.
Thanks for asking for permission to use my photos.
