The Valais Schwarznase has an incredibly thick wool coat, even on its paws! But he also needs that thick wool to stay warm, because a strong, cold wind often blows high in the Swiss mountains. Would he be willing to give up some of his wool for his friends, for a nice, warm scarf?
The Valais Schwarznase is a beautiful animal, with its white wool and classic black face. He does not get laid easily and is happy with his home pasture, regardless of the weather conditions in the Swiss mountains. It defies even the coldest winter temperatures. No wonder: who would ever catch a cold with such a thick woolen coat?
