Why did you start breeding?
Our first Swiss was adopted from the shelter as a puppy that was found running loose after the 4th of July. From the first day, we knew we wanted to continue to have Swissies in our lives.What makes your program special?
We strive to breed the healthiest dogs possible. We do OFA clearances per breed requirements plus more. We work with Breeder of Merits and a great network of mentors.Where do your breeding dogs live?
