Entlebucher Mountain Dogs are medium-sized dogs. Males typically weigh between 50 to 65 pounds (23 to 29 kg) and stand about 17 to 21 inches (43 to 53 cm) tall at the shoulder. Females usually weigh between 40 to 55 pounds (18 to 25 kg) and stand around 16 to 20 inches (41 to 51 cm) tall.

Entlebucher Mountain Dogs are known for their friendly, intelligent, and loyal nature. They are eager to please their families and are generally good with children, making them excellent family pets. They can be reserved with strangers and may display protective instincts. Their intelligence makes them relatively easy to train, but they benefit from consistent training and early socialization.

The breed has a short, dense, and weather-resistant double coat. The coat is predominantly black with distinct white and brown markings. Regular grooming, including brushing, is recommended to keep the coat healthy and free of loose hair.

These dogs thrive in active households where they can engage in regular physical activity. They do well in homes with space to run and play but can adapt to suburban living if they receive daily exercise and mental stimulation. They enjoy being included in family activities and tend to form strong bonds with their owners.

Entlebucher Mountain Dogs excel in various activities, including herding, obedience, agility, and tracking. They have high energy levels and enjoy physical challenges, such as hiking, running, and playing fetch. Engaging their minds with training exercises and interactive games is also essential for their well-being.
