Another distant cousin!
The Appenzeller
Sennenhund finds its origins in the Appenzell region of northeast Switzerland
The breed was
originally kept primarily as a cattle herding dog, and a flock guardian. It was
also used as a draft dog, and general farm dog. The breed also was known for
its affinity to both herd and guard with such devotion that they would give
their life to protect their charge. Just like Ozzy!
I only knew the delicious
Appenzeller cheese.

That cousin looks rather vicious - I prefer Ozzy's softer curls.
Not heard of the cheese or the dog, but that picture is lovely. It looks a bit like my Snoopy who was black and tan without the white bits.
