A little about the Swiss Shepherd

Much like their close cousin, the White Swiss Shepherd shares many physical and behavioural characteristics as the German Shepherd. Loyal and intelligent, this breed is known for being slightly more mellow than the German Shepherd. This breed will do well with a confident and assertive owner for they have strong personalities. They will accept other dogs and pets in the family but maybe aloof toward unknown dogs.
