Greater Swiss Mountain Dog Forum:
Looking to get involved with Swissys

I am very interested in getting involved with Swissys and would like information from breeders. I presently breed as a hobby and make a decent bit of "fun money" at something I enjoy doing. Right now I just breed Rotties and German Shepards, but after seeing the Animal Planet video on Swissys I knew that I had to get involved! I have had great success with my Rottie/GSD mixes and think that the Swissy would be a good genetic complement. Any input would be appreciated.

John S, hopefully youll check here and see this message. I replied to your email but it came back with an error message of "system busy". I dont know if I have the wrong address or its just a problem on your end.

Thanks for the info. I might be interested.

Well, if you intend to continue making a bit of "fun money" with your breeding, then you most definitely dont want to get involved in Swissies! If, however, you are looking for a way to spend your "fun money" and a whole lot more, Swissies certainly could help toward that end!

Ive always been able to get enough litters to make a decent little profit...nothing too big mind you, but some. Im lookin forward to the challenge.

Rottie/GSD mixes?? At one time both the Rottweiler and the GSD was a beautiful reliable dog. But both breeds have been ruined, due to breeders and I use the term loosely, like yourself. I pray to God that no one sells you a swissy. If youre in it for the profit, and not to benefit the breed, youre doing it for the wrong reasons.

Im only looking to build on desirable traits in each breed. There is no need to rigidly maintain "purity" of a bloodline. Its not like were talking about a swissy/chihuahua mix.

Roscoe, I think you must be a hoax! Someone who will spend such a vast amount of $ just to breed to another breed? silly, silly, silly!
