A compact Swiss cattle dog with a big engine and a big voice
The smallest of the Swiss mountain dogs was bred to drive cattle in the Alps. It is agile, tireless and eager to work, but tends to be vocal, wary of strangers and inclined to herd children and other pets.

This breed needs about 90 minutes of activity a day. Around 5 sitter-led sessions a week keeps that routine going when work or travel gets in the way.

They can be quite vocal, especially when excited or guarding the home. Early training and enough exercise keep barking manageable.
It can be, if the owner is active and committed to training. The breed is smart and eager, but a bored Entlebucher becomes noisy and mischievous.
Only if it gets a lot of daily exercise and mental work. Without an outlet it tends to bark, herd and create its own entertainment.
