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 AKC registered kennel name. Good temperament, overall soundness, health and type continues to be my primary goal for each and every Alki Greater Swiss Mountain Dog.

'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.' *
