I see a lot of posts here from people hopeful about getting a Swissy. I would encourage any prospective owner to get the facts about
the breed by either attending http://www.graterswiss.com and reading the articles and attending the forums. or joing the Swissy-L listserv
and asking questions. NO breed is to be entered into lightly, learn the facts. Swissies are a truly amazing and wonderful breed, in
my opinion. Learn the facts. This dog has size, has health issues, has training issues, and requires a certain type of handling, training, care, and persistance.

I havent seen many, if ANY, breeders respond to any post on this site. There is a reason for this. Casual and uninformed inquiries are not generally tolerated in
this breed. Reasearch breeders, meet breeders, decide what you want, be willing to wait. These are the keys to getting any breed you want. If you decide you have to
have one, kudos, its brilliant breed, and good luck in your endeavors.
