OUR BREEDING PHILOSOPHY What is important to us as a breeder of swissys? The most important consideration to us in our search of making the perfect Swissy is temperament. No matter if this puppy is going to a show home or a pet home, you have to start with a sound temperament. The health of the dog is another very important factor. Once you have temperament and health, you strive to reach the standard of our breed. A dog that can maintain the job it was originally bred for. The whole purpose of breeding is to make a better dog, not to just make more dogs. No matter what you do with your dog, it should always be your pet first.
Above is a link to our national club. GSMDCA Members receive the SENNtinel,
a quarterly publication loaded with club information, pictures and
articles. For more information on GSMDCA Membership, please contact: Below is a link to the clubs breeders guidelines. http://www.gsmdca.org/breeding/Breedersguidelines.pdf Below is another great site.
Regional clubs are very important to
people thinking about getting a swissy. If you have never met a swissy,
your regional club is a great way to meet people who already own
swissys. Your regional club will have get togethers, clinics for various
swissy activities such as carting, drafting, obedience. You do not have
to show your swissy, or be interested in any of the activities. Your
regional club will still offer you access to local swissy owners, most
of who will be happy to help if you ever need help with anything.
Membership is normally around 20.00 for non swissy owners and 20.00 -
40.00 for a swissy family membership.
Clicking on the link below will take you
to our national club website which lists most of the regional clubs. If
you have a problem locating your regional club, just write me and I will
send you the information that you need.
