Talk:Swiss mountain dog

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Isn't the St. Bernard also a Swiss Mountain dog? Shouldn't it also be listed here? -=mini=- 20:43, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

While the St Bernard is Swiss and has its origins in the Alps, it isn't generally considered a Swiss Mountain Dog. It's more of a classification of genetics (the four SMD breeds are quite closely related) than of taking the name literally. --Pharaoh Hound (talk) (The Game) 11:58, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
