Welcome to Aegis Greater Swiss Mountain Dogs.  The purpose of this website is to provide honest breed information.  This applies to the Greater Swiss Mountain Dog breed in general, and my own dogs as well.  For example, you will find links to health clearances obtained by my dogs and all dogs in their pedigrees.  These links are there because I would never expect you to take my word for anything, and health clearances are easily verified at the OFA website, if you have a dog's name.  I will be candid about the biggest challenges any potential GSMD owner must consider -- from the never-ending training challenges to the heartbreak that is epilepsy, which is a very real problem in this breed.  I don't need to spend a lot of time sharing all that makes Swissies so wonderful, as that is very often all people have heard by the time they land here.  While I am a breeder of Greater Swiss Mountain Dogs, this website is not about selling puppies.  I only breed once or twice a year and I usually like to have at least a dozen potential homes lined up before I breed a litter.  Still, I endeavor to be of what help I can to anyone who is searching for a Swissy or hopefully just doing their research before they decide this breed is a perfect fit for their family.
