One of the best dogs for search and rescue, guarding, and herding is the Appenzeller Sennenhund. The medium-sized dog is native to the Swizz Alps and belongs to the Sennenhund family. The dog is Tri-color, squarely built and balanced, muscular, versatile, willing, and obedient. Because of his high spirit, fearlessness, and suspicion of strangers, he is a good guard and farm dog. Thus, unsuitable to house living. That said, the Appenzeller Sennenhund also has small triangular ears, either set high or hanging down towards the dog’s jaws while the tail is carried and curled over its back.
Appenzeller Sennenhunds have a withers height between 19”-22” (48-56 cm) and a typical weight in the range of 45-70 lb (20-32 kg). The Appenzeller Sennenhund has an overall body length of roughly 32”-38” (81-97 cm), standing height between 24”-28" (61-71 cm), and a typical lifespan of 11-15 years.
