Temperament
This is a wonderful breed with all the intelligence, personality, agility
and loyalty you could ask for rolled 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 an excellent family dog, 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.
But once in the house will be calm and relaxed. 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.
It is important to keep in mind that this relatively small dog is indeed
an excellent cattle herding dog. They are quick, tough, and very physical,
known for hurling themselves at livestock. Entlebuchers need a sufficient
amount of exercise, an hour a day of vigorous activity is a minimum. Due
to the breed’s intelligence, stimulating activities are necessary to keep
a happy, manageable dog. Entlebuchers love having a job to do, and are
well suited to agility and obedience also.
