Description
Available at stud, our long haired White Swiss Shepherd Dog male, Bear. Bear is a show line import from Belgium.
Available to Shepherd Dogs and other breeds (or mixes) of a similar size.
(The Swiss Shepherd Dog is genetically exactly the same as the German Shepherd Dog - they are simply the White variant of the breed - and it comes from the very same founding dogs of the GSD, but has been bred specifically for a less driven, calmer temperament ideal for pet homes and slightly different, straighter, conformation, not as angulated as the German Shepherd.)

Excellent pigmentation, solid Black nose, lips, paw pads, no bleed-through. Bright White coat.
Fabulous temperament, loves everyone. Not a bad bone in his body. Used in our kennel as Uncle to our pups to teach them bite inhibition, confidence and good manners etc. No nervousness or skittishness. Switches to instant calm around pups, children and older people.
