Meet the breeder

I'm Jenna S., the breeder behind Dahlgren Swissys located in Knoxville, MD. We take great care planning each litter to ensure we are producing puppies that are exemplary representations of the breed. It is our passion to breed these incredible dogs and help ensure the future of the Greater Swiss Mountain Dog.

Q. & A. with Jenna

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and guardian homes.

Matched dogs

These dogs are already reserved or have gone home.

Getting a puppy from Jenna

Jenna has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies.

Together, you’ll choose the puppy that’s right for you, stay in touch with regular updates, and plan how to bring your new puppy home.

Price

Puppy prices include a $540 non-refundable deposit and between $2,460 - $3,260 final payment, before taxes & fees.
Pay over time with Klarna.

“Please inquire for price. Our deposit is $500 before the puppies are born and that sort of “secures your spot” and I know you are ready to commit to getting a puppy from us. The deposit is not refundable if you change your mind; however, if you want a puppy from a certain litter and we do not have a puppy available for you in that litter, I will give you the option of having the deposit refunded, transferring the deposit to our next litter, or transferring your deposit to a breeder friend (who is similar to our breeding program) if they will have puppies available sooner. Keep in mind that you can choose the sex of the puppy beforehand if you have a strong preference one way or another, but I want to make sure you know that I choose which puppy you will be getting based on temperament testing and structural evaluations... if you have a favorite or 2, you can let me know.... I make no promises, but can keep it in mind in case there are 2 that I think would be a good fit and one happens to be a “favorite”, I will do my best to match that puppy with you.”

Contract & health guarantee

Jenna may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If Jenna offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don’t hesitate to reach out to Jenna directly.

Excellent level

  • Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)

    Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.

  • Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)

    Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.

  • Shoulder Osteochondrosis

    A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
