Cool! Even more uncommon than my guys! Damn near the same dog, only half the size/weight. One of four dogs in the Swiss Mountain Dog group (the 4 being Greater Swiss, Bernese, Entlebucher and the Appenzeler).Au contraire, one of Sammy's local "friends" is an Entlebucher Sennenhound (he was chasing Morley when he cut his leg last month). Of course, that's a lesser swiss mountain dog, but who's counting.![]()
I'd say Greater Swiss Mountain Dog, but no one knows what they are!
Aren't those the dogs that carry whiskey around their necks? Or is that only at your house?

BTW, these work - and it's a brandy barrel you heathen... all rescue dogs brought brandy to warm you up with.
Cheating just a little here . . . a bully-breed mix shelter pup.
One of his daughters has allergy problems, and bully breeds (pit, bull terrier, bull dog, etc) are low allergy short haired dogs.
Plus they're cute. In that "alligator with fur" kind of way.![]()

The first family has settled on a first pet — a 6-month-old Portuguese water dog that the Obama girls are naming Bo.
The selection was one of the White House's most tightly kept secrets.
President Barack Obama's daughters, 10-year-old Malia and 7-year-old Sasha, picked a black and white pup, a White House official speaking on the condition of anonymity told The Associated Press Saturday night.
The dog is a gift from Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., who owns several Portuguese water dogs himself.
"We couldnt be happier to see the joy that Bo is bringing to Malia and Sasha," Kennedy said in a statement. "We love our Portuguese water dogs and know that the girls — and their parents — will love theirs, too."
