We have one very special girl left from our Jasper x Athena litter. “Amira” is affectionate, smart and very personable. She has been to a couple puppy social classes and will be ready to go next weekend after she receives her second round of vaccinations. Loves to play and be challenged - no food toy is a match for this girl, who figures them out almost instantaneously! Amira also loves water, showing off her skills on the car ramp and her perfect “sit”.

Amira is now 12 weeks old and we are taking applications to find her perfect home. She is on the left in the photo with the jackets.

Amira is a long haired white Swiss shepherd and should be around 90-100 pounds when full grown.

Hello friends and fellow breeders!

As most of you likely already know, our phenomenal breed the beautiful White Swiss Shepherd, is not currently recognized by the CKC (Canadian Kennel Club). I’m currently in talks with a representative from the CKC to look at changing this.

With that being said - I’m currently collecting information.

1) If you’re willing to show your support towards our breed becoming CKC recognized, please send me your name, email and location (city, province/state). As well if you’re a current WSS owner or just a fan! Let me know if you’re a current CKC member (no problem if you’re not!)

2) If you’re a breeder of WSS within North America, please send me:
- your name
- kennel name
- location (city, province/state)
- email and website (if applicable)
- number of WSS you currently have
- how many litters per year you typically produce

Please follow along here at ZIon for updates on our progress!

If you know of someone not on social media who would like to be part of this, please have them email me at [email protected]

If you’ve made it this far and you’re asking yourself why this matters - I’m happy to share! As a responsible breeder, we’re all passionate about our chosen breed. We love our dogs and we want to produce the best dogs possible for the families that take them. Part of that is showing in conformation classes, to prove that our chosen breeding stock dogs are of superior type to the breed standard. As breeders, it also holds us accountable to breeding the best as determined by unbiased judges. Right now, we do not have this opportunity because we cannot show conformation in CKC (or AKC) sanctioned shows. Not only is CKC losing out on many registration, membership and show dollars - but we as breeders are missing out on the opportunity to really showcase our breed and ensure we are making the best dogs possible. With the constantly growing popularity of the WSS, it is time we start this discussion anew 💖.

The WSS was first recognized as its own breed in 1991 in Switzerland. Many of the European registries have since followed suit, giving our European counterparts the opportunity to title their breeding stock in conformation. The UKC here in North America recognizes us since April 1997, but only as “white shepherds”.

If anyone has any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out!

The time has come to “officially” advertise for the last 3 puppies available from this litter! The other 6 puppies have quietly found the most amazing homes and now we publicly offer these 3 beautiful girls!

They are dewormed, vaccinated and microchipped. Will be 9 weeks old this weekend and ready to go to new homes starting Sunday!

Feel free to send a message on here or email [email protected] for an application for one of these beautiful girls.

All the puppies from this litter have been raised in our home with extensive human socialization. They are extremely friendly, happy and smart. Reliably using a p*e pad during the night and going outside during the day.

I will post a more formal listing this weekend but this is the chance for those on our friends list to have the first opportunity, before the proper listing that will be posted more extensively.

Only forever homes need apply 💖 much love and time have gone into these beautiful souls - they deserve the best!

Puppies are sold on pet only, spay/neuter contracts. Puppies will be registered with the FCI Puerto Rico.

*all will have properly erect ears - with all shepherds this just takes time! Some are quicker than others*
