Meet the breeder
I'm Cindy S., the breeder behind Swiss Stock Entlebuchers located in Madison, WI. I am a small scale, preservation breeder of Entlebucher Mountain Dogs. I breed for health, temperament, and genetic diversity. The goal I set, and which I believe is still the most important, is to produce healthy puppies that make a well-rounded character in an adult dog. I strive to make sure every owner has the ability to get the very best out of their puppy.
Q. & A. with Cindy
Why did you start breeding?
My breeder and the breeder with my dog's sire invited me to enter a conformation show with them. They both encouraged me to explore the idea of having a litter. The more I learned, the more interested I became. I spoke with many breed mentors and then joined Avidog. I wanted to do my part to help broaden our small gene pool. The Entlebucher is a wonderful breed and I want to help keep it healthy.What makes your program special?
I select my breedings focusing on health, proper temperament, and structure. I want to keep the breed healthy and true to it's working history. I work to continually educate myself, and share with my puppy buyers, who become part of the family for life. I am part of the NEMDA breeders group as well as Avidog community which keeps me informed. Proper puppy socialization is also a key part of my program.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are black white and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
