Description

The Appenzeller Sennenhund is a loyal, intelligent, and protective breed. Originally bred as a versatile farm dog in the Swiss Alps, they are known for their strength, agility, and keen sense of smell. Despite their size, they are gentle and affectionate with their families. However, their strong guarding instincts make early socialization essential. They require regular exercise and mental stimulation to stay happy and healthy. With their thick double coat, they are well-suited for colder climates.
