Welcome to SwissKiss Greater Swiss Mountain Dogs!
Breeding Greater Swiss Mountain Dogs for Soundness in Body, Mind, and Spirit 
About Us
​We are breeders of AKC Greater Swiss Mountain Dogs located in Elizabethtown, PA.

Our journey with Swissies began in 2003 when we got our first Swissy puppy.  Since then, we've spent many years showing dogs, raising puppies, training dogs, and studying all aspects of our fur-children. 

Our Breeding Program
We don't operate a kennel; our dogs are first and foremost treasured family members who live with us, sleep with us, and travel everywhere with us.  We don't produce a lot of puppies;  we only have one or two litters a year.  But we strive to produce very special puppies. 
​
We are very selective in our breeding program and breed only males and females that have a sound temperament, have achieved their AKC Championship, and have passed health clearances based on OFA (Orthopedic Foundation for Animals) evaluations. 

We take raising puppies VERY SERIOUSLY!  Our puppies meet at least 100 people before they go to their forever homes. They receive Early Neurological Stimulation. They are exposed to every imaginable sight, sound, surface, and smell, they meet other animals, they have many outdoor adventures, and they learn several basic commands.  All of these experiences are packed into their first 8 weeks of life while they are with us.  

Our puppy raising protocol is intense and requires much time and effort, but is well worth it for the reward of raising puppies who are....
Sound in Body, Mind, and Spirit!
