#entlebucher mountain dog

Here’s another thought I’ve had for a while.

These dogs all fill the “stereotypical dog shape” to a fault.

The dog in the middle, the Entlebucher sennenhund, is the only one not common… anywhere, really. While both the beagle (in America at least) and the lab, are very popular family dogs.

Other than the shape, these three breeds are completely different, with the beagle being a tracking hunting dog/scenthound, the sennenhund is a cattle herder, and the Labrador retriever is a retrieving bird dog.

I think it would be neat if the Entlebucher got more popular, as while it is rather stubborn, noisy and energetic and not for everyone, I’m pretty positive it would make a better companion/family dog than the beagle.
