Breed History
All Swiss Mountain Dogs are believed to be descended from Molosser dogs, who came to Switzerland with the Romans in the first century....
In 1889, the Entlebucher was recognized as a separate breed. The breed was almost lost during the first World War. In 1927, sixteen Entlebucher Mountain Dogs emerged, and the breed was slowly restored in the coming years. The AKC recognized the Entlebucher Mountain Dog in 2011, although they are still considered a rare breed.
