Welcome to Norfolk Fields Entlebuchers
We are enthusiastic owners and UK registered breeders of the
Entlebucher Swiss mountain dog. Based in Norfolk, we are dedicated to
the promotion of this wonderful breed in the UK.
The Entlebucher originates in Entlebuch,
Switzerland and is one of the
four Sennenhund breeds that come from different regions of the Swiss
alps. Like all of the Sennenhund breeds,
they have a tri-colour
coat of black, tan and white.
The other three Sennenhunds are the Greater Swiss
Mountain, the Bernese and the Appenzeller. The Entlebucher is the
smallest of this group, a compact and powerful medium sized dog.
As work dogs, they have been used
traditionally in farming to herd animals and pull carts, also as guard
dogs, making use of their bravery and deep, impressive bark.
They are naturally energetic and enjoy all kinds of
work activity as well as being very playful. They are intelligent and
easily trained. They enjoy being part of a family and will form a strong
bond with their primary carer.
