Are Greater Swiss Mountain Dogs Aggressive To Strangers

When it comes to picking a dog, you possibly want one that is friendly, whether that's toward people, other pets, or both. Put simply, a happy-go-lucky pooch that gets along with everyone.

While most canines are definitely fond of people, some are very sociable and love to meet new people all the time. Kindness doesn't necessarily depend on breed. Most dogs are friendly if they have been exposed to new people, places, and experiences as they were growing up.

So, generally, you can make any pet dog into a friendly dog if you ensure they have an active social life and a happy home. Virtually all canines will be social with their owners, but some breeds were bred as guardians and can be wary and even aggressive toward strangers.
