Greater Swiss Mountain Dog

Devoted and loyal, the Greater Swiss Mountain Dog makes a great guard dog because he is protective without being aggressive- he will alert his owners about a perceived intruder by barking not launching an attack. However, a tendency to chase means they need consistent training from a young age to teach them not to do so. Like most big dogs, the Greater Swiss Mountain Dog can be prone to suffering from Bloat so it's best to feed them from an elevated food bowl.
