We are Lynne and Josephine Kenney, a mother and daughter team who have been involved with Swissies since 1996, when we got our first Swissy, Bess. Since our first litter in 1999, we have focused on producing dogs of quality, good health, sound temperaments, working confirmation and type. While we show all our dogs in conformation, we have also been quite involved with obedience training and pack hiking. We have dabbled in herding and learning how to cart as well!
At time, working with dogs can be challenging in our busy lives, but it has always been our belief that a busy dog with a job to do is a happy dog. The more energy and time their owners take for them, the stronger the bond with their family will be.
Because Swissies grow to be large and powerful dogs, the more important it becomes to participate in a positive training program. These programs help to build skills that encourage confidence and appropriate behavior with people as well as other dogs. In addition to training, Swissies need to be constantly socialized within your family, friends and community.
We are always available to help, suggest and applaud all the successes that our pups and their owners achieve. There are so many things that make Swissies great dogs. It is our hope that our pups and their families will come to share many great times together. Along the way we are sure you will realize how very special these dogs are.
