Our breeding philosophy, goals and aims etc. are all summed up very nicely in this four-part article by J. Jeffrey Bragg, a Canadian breeder of sled dogs, which we would HIGHLY recommend you read in its entirety. Bearing in mind this was written in 1996, almost 30 years ago, things really do have to change.

We want to be a part of the canine revolution! ❤️

Discussion of what constitutes a dog breed and how dog breeders can achieve genetic health for their dogs in the new millennium.

Gemmi and Nushka playing in the garden today, with Belka keeping close watch.

Nushka and Belka love to teach Gemmi how to behave, how to stalk, how to dig in the sand and most of all, how to have fun! 🤩

Gemmi is starting to fill out nicely now ❤️

Swish Sheps Chernushka (Nushka) looks very much like her Grandma on her Mother’s side, ‘Kosma House Lady Laura’.

Thank you for sending us this side by side photo Oxana Mochalova ❤️

Meanwhile, as his Sister, Mystra, is sniffing her way around… Ghost (Swish Sheps Chelyabinsk) decides to be brave and attempt his very first swim, now his owners can’t get him out of the water! 😂

Well done Ghost! 👻 ❤️ Such a happy boy.

Congratulations to Swish Sheps Chugush (or Mystra as she is known at home) from our Litter C, who successfully placed second in a sniffer dog training timed trial event.

In the words of her owners…

‘Mystra completed her bronze sniffer dog training and came 2nd in the timed trial. She was the youngest one there so we’re incredibly proud of her. 🫶’

Well done Mystra!

Todays’ silly photos, Gemmi and her Dad Bear. Bear loves to pose awkwardly in front of a camera.

Gemmi is just like her Mum, Luna, and has recently discovered that she enjoys lounging on the window bottom at the back of our sofa, especially in the sunshine ☀️

Sometimes she lays looking into the room and goes to sleep, other times she lays facing out and watches the world go by (including our cat, Lucy!).

Happy longest day of the year to those followers in the Northern Hemisphere!

Beautiful Belka 💖

Yesterday we had Luna peeping out of our dining room window and today we’ve had Luna, Nushka and even little Gemmi all having a peep out of our bedroom window to watch Bear and Zarya nipping out to the loo.

They’re so nosey! 👀

Who’s there and what do you want? 👀

Gemmi has decided that our bed is better than hers and we’re doing a swap. The cuteness wins out.

Perhaps you may like to join us at the event shown below, with or without a dog?

It is a great opportunity for people to meet a White Swiss Shepherd Dog up close and to ask us as many questions as you like about the breed, as well as taking part in a fun dog show and helping to raise money for a worthwhile cause 🙂

We look forward to seeing you there! 🐾

A young Luna, we have a feeling Gemmi is going to look very much like Mum as she matures.

Happy Birthday Bear 🎂 🎈 3 years old today!

The softest, daftest, cuddliest, friendliest Swiss Shepherd male ever, not a bad bone in his body. Loves everyone and everything and wouldn’t hurt a fly, not intentionally anyway! Although he’s probably the loudest member of our pack who likes to make his presence known, what he loses points for in decibels he more than makes up for in the amount of love and patience he gives.

Father of both our girls Gemmi and Nushka, he has been an amazing Dad and is ever so gentle with puppies. Bear, we hope you have a great day today getting spoilt rotten! ❤️ Love you lots!
