The Appenzeller Mountain Dog, also known as the Appenzeller Sennenhund or Appenzell Cattle dog is an energetic, agile, and fearless dog. They are muscular and always ready for plenty of activity. They do need a lot of open space to run around in to get their energy out, but since they are quite intelligent, you can train them as search and rescue dogs as well. They are weary of strangers, so they are not easy to bribe, making them great guard dogs.
