Happy Holidays!
Puppy ApplicationWe started our search for a dog in late 2001. We wanted a large dog that was
good
with children. I suggested a Boxer, my husband rejected the idea. I had seen a
photo
of a beautiful black dog with brown spots on its face. The search was on it find
it. We
found the Greater Swiss Mountain Dog on a breed site and began researching it.
After
visiting many informational sites, we decided that this was the breed for us. We
located
a local club (Lake Shore Greater Swiss Mountain
Dog Club) and went to a weight pull
to "meet the swissys". We were in love. After talking with the club president
and finding
a breeder, we were new puppy owners! We welcomed
Bluegrass Dakota Moon into our
home on March 24, 2003. Even though Kodi was show quality, we wanted a pet for
our
first dog.
We got involved in the club and began participating in working dog events.
After a year,
we decided to add another pup to our household. As the saying goes, "Swissys are
like
potato chips, you can't have just one." So, in July 2003, we welcomed
Blossom Hills Sturdy
Aspen. Aspen is our first show dog.
Tragically, at two years and four months of age, Kodi was assisted to the
Rainbow Bridge
after a six month battle with epilepsy. Aspen was lost. We new we had to get
another pup.
We found him in Michigan and brought Toasters
Black Pearl home in July of 2004. Jack
is also a show dog. We have named our kennel in honor of Kodi.
We have just welcomed our first little girl,
Oakvue's Christmas Carol of
Brushcreek, into
our home. Sophie will be going to school to learn how to be a good dog as well
as conformation
training. Her first show will be the Midwest Regional in August.
