Arbor x Royce: 2 Girls and 1 Boy

The Apple Doesn't Fall Far from the Tree

Royce is a handsome boy with thick bone, nice forechest, and a broad head.  When I met him in person I found him as stunning as he is in his pictures and one of the most toned Swissies I have seen.  We hope this combination will produce healthy puppies with great breed type, structure, and most importantly, confident and happy temperaments.

​Due to the small litter size, we are no longer considering new applicants. Please let us know if you would like to be considered for other opportunities.

Arbor started her delivery March 23rd and naturally delivered 3 beautiful puppies. All of the puppies are healthy, active, and good eaters with strong suction. Please let me introduce baby girls Aqua and Yellow and handsome young man Grey.

Week 5…More to follow…We play, we cry, we bite, and we pee….A LOT!  BUT we usually go on the pad. :-) These young ones interact with their toys, approach people, and sleep.  The girls are houdinis.  Someone better keep an eye on them.

Week 6…Well, we're definitely growing…some sharp teeth that is.  And we ventured outside and played dress up!  We also think 11pm and 3am are the BEST times to play--sleeping is something you do during the day, right?
