Greater Swiss Mountain Dog
Greater Swiss Mountain Dogs (85-140 pounds) are strong, gentle, and loyal, ideal for families with space. They’re excellent with kids but need supervision due to size. Moderate exercise (1-2 hours daily, walks or carting) suits them; their short coat needs weekly brushing.
Feed 4-6 cups daily of Royal Canin Giant Breed Adult Dry Dog Food, with 23% protein and glucosamine for joint health, as Swissies are prone to hip dysplasia. Split meals to prevent bloat. Best for outdoor living in cooler climates with indoor access, they’re not for apartments or hot regions.
Training enhances sociability. Perfect for rural owners with space, Swissies thrive with gentle leadership, not for urban or small homes.
