Although these are all cousins and belong to this family of Swiss mountain dogs, the Entlebucher mountain dog stands alone due to its smaller size. The breeds of this group all share a unique tri-colour coat, a heavy build and a kind, calm temperament. These breeds are rare and not very well known. Like all of the Swiss mountain dogs, the origins of the Entlebucher are ancient, probably dating back to Roman times. Only from 1926 has the Entlebucher breed been openly recognized as a separate purebred from the Appenzeller, since they share a lot of common features.
