Recommended for: pet, working dog

The Appenzeller Sennenhunde dog breed is an old one and rare. Appenzeller Sennenhundes tend to be tough, brave, intelligent, and lively. They get along well with other animals. They are reserved when it comes to strangers but they welcome people they know. If raised properly they are good with children. Though they are close to the family, they tend to bond to one person. They learn quickly because they do not have a lazy bone in their body. They like to do something. If not working, they will actively watch over their territory and will not hesitate to bark. Appenzeller Sennenhundes do not take well to indoor environments or to confinement in kennels. The breed belongs to a farm or a rural environment, not an urban one.

Remember that breed only provides a general clue as to any individual dog's actual behavior. Make sure to get to know dogs well before bringing them into your home.
