AKC PARENT BREED CLUB FOR THE ENTLEBUCHER MOUNTAIN DOG
|
Temperament
|
|
|
This is a wonderful breed with all the intelligence, personality, agility and loyalty you could ask for packed into a sturdy little package. It is important to make sure that this little herder is compatible with your personality and lifestyle, as this is a dog that will be happiest if it is by your side every waking hour. The Entlebucher, while being independent and self confident, is nonetheless very attached to its people and must be made a part of the family. One of the greatest qualities of this breed is its unwavering devotion to its master. This is not a breed that will do well if left in the back yard, unless, of course, that is where the family is as well.
The breed is territorial and slightly suspicious of strangers, making it a competent watch dog. They have an impressive bark and naturally announce the arrival of newcomers. While they are naturally confident and social dogs, socialization and training is required.
Entlebuchers are generally regarded as great dogs with children, although there may be exceptions. The additional time required to train a smart, willful dog is a major consideration for a busy parent. Due to the Entlebucher's keen sense of social hierarchy, the head of the household will need to be actively involved in the training. This is an active, physical breed and loves to play and rough house. Once trained to be gentle with children, however, an Entlebucher is an excellent play mate and may even round up your kids like a small herd of cattle.

Canine Good Citizen
One of NEMDA’s objectives is:
“To promote and advance the best interest of the breed by sponsoring conformation specialties, agility, obedience and herding trails, canine good citizen testing and educational seminars.”

The American Kennel Club’s Canine Good Citizen® (CGC) Program was started in 1989 as a certification program rewarding dogs who have good manners not only at home but in the community. Dogs who pass the 10-step CGC test receive a certificate of completion from the American Kennel Club. NEMDA offers CGC testing at Entlefests and some Entledays.
We encourage all Entle owners to take advantage of the AKC’s CGC program and testing. Information about the test including upcoming testing sites and dates can be found on the AKC website at:

NEMDA recognizes our Canine Good Citizen certificate holders. Our list may not be complete; please contact us if your Entle has a CGC certificate so we can include your Entle on the list.
