The Appenzeller Sennenhund originated as an allaround farm dog, who stayed busy herding the livestock, guarding the farm, and pulling carts in their native Switzerland. Today’s Appenzellers still have the energy, smarts, and selfconfidence that makes for valuable working dogs — but they’re anything but lowmaintenance.
