Cute, what breed is he?
A Swissy! Not very common but very family orientated and careful with children, although their tails pack a decent whip. Most peopl think it's a Bernese (our vet included). Info here
A Greater Swiss Mountain Dog : https://www.akc.org/dog-breeds/greater-swiss-mount...
Copied from wikipedia:
The Greater Swiss Mountain Dog is considered the oldest of the Swiss breeds.[1] It is the largest of the four Sennenhund breeds; all four have the same colors and markings but are different sizes.
Evolutionary hierarchy suggests breeds should genetically cluster into groups sharing recent common ancestry.[34] A genetic clustering algorithm could not easily distinguish between the obviously related pairs of Greater Swiss Mountain Dog and the Bernese Mountain Dog.[34]
The four breeds of Sennenhund, with the original breed name followed by the most popular English version of the breed name:
Grosser Schweizer Sennenhund, Greater Swiss Mountain Dog
Berner Sennenhund, Bernese Mountain Dog
Appenzeller Sennenhund, Appenzeller Mountain Dog
Entlebucher Sennenhund, Entlebucher Mountain Dog
