Though I have owned many different breeds of dogs in my life and bred my Dobermans, I am relatively new to Greater Swiss Mountain Dogs, having been introduced to them in 2001. However, after meeting my first Swissy, I couldn't wait to own my own. And so, Maggie came into my life. She is my foundation bitch and an integral part of my life. I am also the main focus of attention (except for Maggie, of course!) of a wonderful, young male from Switzerland named Zuoz, who is another of my treasures. Then came a new light in my life - a little girl named Skye - one of Maggie's puppies - who, actually, isn't so little any more. And now there's Ali - a little bundle of energy who grows as I watch her. It would seem it's true that - like potato chips - you can't have just one! So along with my wonderful old girl, Mariah (a Heinz-57 varieties), who so stoically puts up with all the antics of "the kids", I truly do have a wonderful "family"!
The main focus of my breedings is to continue the betterment of the breed by producing quality puppies who will live long, healthy lives and have excellent temperaments, correct structure and breed type and sound minds and bodies. And, as a working breed, they should also possess the drive to perform the tasks for which they were originally bred.
My puppies are raised with a great deal of care and love and will, therefore, only be placed in a home that I consider able to give that same quality of attention. They are, after all, another member of your family and, as such, deserve nothing less.
I hope you will take the opportunity to personally acquaint yourself with this wonderful breed.
