Ever heard of an Entlebucher Mountain Dog. I guess not. They are
related to the Bernese Mountain Dogs, but smaller and short-haired.
They are Swiss dogs that were used as farmdogs. They prefer to be with
you the entire day and love to work. They grow up to 16 to 20 inches
and 45 to 65 pounds.

Entlebucher are good watch dogs and can be used as herd dog. They're
intelligent family-dogs.

If you're looking for more information, get in touch with NEMDA

I looked into it. I don't see any breeders in Texas. Looks interesting
tho, but it would have to be a bit closer, I don't buy animals sight
unseen. I'll keep looking.


You're absolutely right. I would also like to see a breed before
buying one. Perhaps you could still contact NEMDA, and ask them if
they know any people in your neighbourhood who have an Entlebucher.
Good luck

Entlebucher

pronounce this please

Well that's pretty hard for me. I live in the Netherlands, so I speak
Dutch. But I'll try to explain how to pronounce it in English.

Entlebucher is a German word. So the `ch' is pronounced as a
`ggggggg', but people who speak English can hardly pronounce that.
But try this:
Ent-le-boo`gggggg'er.

A lot of people who speak English abbreviate `Entlebucher' to `Entle',
so you could also use that.

Yeah, but why risk it with a new dog? Better safe than sorry.

Because it sounds expensive. And I have other dogs. Rattlers are a part

simply contributed. Thanks anyways.


I won't say anymore on this, except that it isn't as expensive as you
might thing it is. And while rattlers are a way of life, your dogs don't
necessarily have to go through life being bitten. Your dog survived it
twice, the next one, might not survive one, even from a baby snake with
less venom. I've heard the classes run for less than a vet visit with the
works (heartworm test, stool sample, couple vaccinations, physical exam).
It's completely your choice, of course.

O.K. then, back on topic. Anyone suggest a dog sized between a beagle
and a Lab?
