1. How often do you have puppies available?
We typically have only a few litters each year. Because of this, most of our puppies are reserved before they reach five weeks of age.

 

2. Do you breed based on looks or appearance?
No. Our breeding decisions are based on conformation, temperament, and overall health. That said, we do appreciate a certain look in the breed — including long coats and refined heads — which all of our dogs possess, so our puppies tend to share those traits.

 

3. Are Berger Blanc Suisses (White Swiss Shepherds) good family dogs?
Yes! White Swiss Shepherds are incredibly versatile and known for their sweet, laid-back nature. I have raised my four children alongside our shepherds, and this is one of the many reasons we love the breed so much.

 

4. Where do your shepherds live?
We live on a 10-acre ranch in Aurora, Colorado, and all of our dogs live here with us. They enjoy several acres to explore and always have access to a warm home through their doggy doors.

 

5. Are White Swiss Shepherds good with other dogs or animals?
Yes. Like any breed, early exposure to different animals is important. On our ranch, our dogs live alongside chickens, goats, cats, and horses, and we’ve never had any issues with them getting along. The breed generally has a lower prey drive compared to many other shepherd breeds.

 

6. Are White Swiss Shepherds easy to train?
Yes. They are highly intelligent dogs with excellent focus and a strong desire to please, which makes them very trainable.

 

7. Are White Swiss Shepherds good with people they don’t know?
Yes. We often host gatherings at our home, and our dogs are usually the first to greet guests. They tend to be friendly, social, and welcoming.

 

8. Are White Swiss Shepherds good guard or protection dogs?
They can make good watchdogs, but they are not typically used for protection work. With the right training they can perform protection tasks, but as a breed they generally lack the drive and confidence commonly seen in traditional protection breeds.
