About Swiss Peaks Kennel

This is how it all began,...

I grew up on a horse farm with tons of animals, ranging from ducks to horses, among many other animals. I always had a soft spot for our family dogs, and was happy to take responsibility for them.

In 2003 I went to Switzerland for 6 months after school, to ride and show horses. While I was there, I went to a horse farm where I fell in love, instantly, with Hannah, a Greater Swiss Mountain Dog. I was taken by her beauty at first, but then soon saw she was far more than just a pretty face. She was very intelligent and so loyal to her owner, that I had to know what breed she was and if we had any back in Canada.

As soon as I got back home, I began my search for the perfect Swissy, however, once I started looking, I soon realized, there weren’t many in Canada. Which lead me to start my search in the USA. I found a reputable breeder, Cathy Cooper. I told her my history, and how I needed one of these beauties in my life.

A few weeks later, in October 2005 I got my eight week old Swissy – Stella. She was adorable, with huge ears and paws. She was even more perfect then I imagined, and her eyes melted my heart. The long wait was well worth it for this beautiful dog. She was everything I could ask for and far more.

Our dogs live here with us on the farm, and are very much a part of our family! They are great with both kids and animals.

Swissies are truly such a special breed!
