The oldest and largest of the four Swiss mountain dog breeds, the Greater Swiss was a versatile farm dog used for herding, drafting, and guarding. They are strong, confident, and faithful companions with a cheerful disposition, though their size and energy mean they do best with owners who can provide space and regular activity.
