Very agile and active, with an open, alert and gentle expression.

Entlebuchers are one of the smallest of the four Swiss mountain and cattle dogs, originating in the Entlebuch valley spanning the cantons of Lucerne and Berne. An Entlibucher dog was first described in 1889, but for a long period no distinction was made between an Appenzeller and an Entlebucher. Four short-tailed subjects were shown to professor Albert Heim, the great promoter of Swiss mountain and cattle dogs, in Langenthal in 1913. The judge’s reports were enough to earn them a registration in the Swiss stud book (L.O.S.) as a fourth Swiss mountain and cattle dog breed. The first standard was not published until 1927, after the formation on August 16, 1926 of the breed club, initiated by Dr. B. Kobler, to promote pure breeding. The breed developed fairly slowly, as shown by the limited number of L.O.S. registrations.
