See http://www.akc.org/breeds/recbreeds/gsmd.cfm for a really good description (& video) of "Swissies". And then look at http://www.akc.org/breeds/recbreeds/bermtn.cfm for the BMD. Biggest difference is amount of hair - GSMDs have shorter hair. We have Swissies in our club & at our events. They are nice dogs!
