"The greater Swiss mountain dog displays the temperment of a willing worker and faithful companion, always alert and vigilant. Greater Swiss mountain dogs train quickly and are content to be family members, involving themselves in many aspects of your life. Outdoors, they tend to be at your side or watching as children play. Greater Swiss mountain dogs have a sense of territory and will not take kindly to a stranger's invasion of property or home. Normally a quiet dog, they do have a deep, loud bark that, combined with their size and self-assurance, keeps home and family well protected."
