History: The Greater Swiss Mountain Dog, or Swissy, is one of the oldest dog breeds from Switzerland. While no one is exactly sure of the breed's origin, the most widely-believed theory is that the Swissy is a descendent of Mastiff-type dogs that were brought to Switzerland by the Romans. Over time, these dogs spread across Europe and were used as herding, guarding, and draft dogs. However, once industrialization started, the Swissy nearly disappeared, as its jobs were being taken over by machines and motorized vehicles. Luckily, after spotting them at a Swiss dog show in 1908, canine researcher Albert Heim sought to not let the breed die out. The Greater Swiss Mountain Dog became a breed of its own in 1910, but didn't make its way to the United States until 1968. Shortly after that, however, the Greater Swiss Mountain Dog Club of America was formed. The breed was recognized by the American Kennel Club (AKC) in 1995.

Temperament: The Greater Swiss Mountain Dog is a bold, gentle, and loyal breed that makes a devoted family companion. They are calm, but always alert and observing their surroundings, so they make great watchdogs. The Swissy is independent and confident dog that needs a firm, yet kind, hand when it comes to training. They can be stubborn at times, and do best with an owner who is able to be a confident leader. Greater Swiss Mountain Dogs can be suspicious of strangers, but are seldom aggressive. They are patient and kind with children and other pets, especially when raised with them.
