Entlebucher Mountain Dog

An Entlebucher Mountain Dog typically lives 11–13 years with good care. Regular vet checkups, high-quality nutrition, and plenty of exercise help them reach the upper end of their lifespan.

The price of an Entlebucher Mountain Dog in India can range between ₹1.5–3 lakhs, depending on lineage, breeder reputation, and import costs. Since this is a rare breed here, availability is limited, and it’s important to choose ethical breeders or consider adoption options if available.

Yes, but with some care. Since they were bred in the Swiss Alps, they have a dense double coat that makes them prone to overheating in hot Indian summers. Keeping them indoors during the day, ensuring proper hydration, and giving walks in the cooler mornings and evenings makes life easier for them.

A diet rich in lean protein, healthy fats, and joint-supporting supplements works best. Indian pet parents can use high-quality kibble brands (with glucosamine and omega-3s) and supplement with home-cooked food like boiled chicken, rice, carrots, and pumpkin. Avoid oily, spicy Indian food, and never feed toxic items like chocolate, grapes, or onions.

These dogs are working breeds with high energy levels. They need at least 60–90 minutes of daily exercise, including walks, playtime, and mental stimulation. In India, you can combine early morning or late evening walks with agility games or scent-based play indoors during hot weather.
