The Greater Swiss Mountain Dog is a 'bold, faithful,
willing worker. Alert and vigilant.' *
The
Greater Swiss Mountain Dogs (Grosser Schweizer Sennenhund), fondly called
'Swissies' or 'Swissys', were originally used as a draft dog and a drover.
The Swissy is not just another pretty face, it's a large, powerful and
confident Working Dog with a keen fondness for their owners. They
are challenging to raise but, given time and training, mature into wonderful
companions. Please, gather breed information, call for more information
and schedule a visit to meet a few Swissies before deciding that this
is the right breed for you and your family. Welcome and enjoy researching the Greater Swiss Mountain Dog.
'The Greater Swiss Mountain Dog is a Draft and Drover
Breed and should structurally appear as such. It is a striking, tri-colored,
large, powerful, confident dog of sturdy appearance.' *
Hello,
my name is Nancy Sturgis. I'm a breeder, owner and exhibitor of GREATER SWISS
MOUNTAIN DOGS for work, show or companionship. 'Alki' is my kennel name.
Good temperament, overall soundness, health and type continues to be my primary
goal for each and every Alki Greater Swiss Mountain Dog. With each
generation, I strive
to match well structured, compatible and complimentary GSMD with good
soundness, stable temperaments and positive health testing as adults
in my quest to maintain and improve the wonderful qualities that this
breed naturally possesses. AKC registered Swissy puppies, stud service and
adults are occasionally available to those qualified. It's important
to me and my lifetime commitment to each Alki Swissy, before any placement
or breeding is agreed upon, that a sustainable, cooperative relationship
is established in friendship, so I can provide advice, support and participate
in their well being throughout each Swissy's entire lifetime. Located in the
Greater Seattle area, come visit us at home or attend an eventto experience Conformation, Freight haul, Draft work, Herding or
Obedience. Inquiries are always welcome, call for more information.

'Defects of both structure and temperament are to be judged more
severely than mere lack of elegance because they reduce the animal's
capacity to work.' *
