Owning a dog is a lifetime commitment and it's up to you to make every day with them a real treat. They deserve it!
Purchase a White Swiss Shepherd puppy
This must be an exiting time for you, looking for a new addition to your home. I have been in your shoes, believe me, when we bought each of our dogs. First searching the internet, looking for the breed that most fits your situation.
Then looking for a breeder and see if/or when a puppy might be available. Then contacting the breeder and go for a visit (this was in The Netherlands with Mojo and later Mijne) to get to know each other. Hoping that the breeder approves of you. I found it pretty nerve racking.
But I know each breeder did this to protect their puppies, to make sure that they got the best life they deserve. And so that's also why my purchase and application process is the way it is.

It's not about making the owner's life easier by preparing the puppy for the rest of her/his live. It's about preparing the puppy for the rest of her/his live. Period
I am committed to give the White Swiss Shepherd puppies I breed the best start of life they possible can get.
This starts with breeding only with healthy parents. And make sure mom gets all additional nutrition and supplements necessary for the pregnancy, that the whelping environment is clean and safe. That mom experiences as little stress as possible during pregnancy, whelping and taking care of the pups.

Our pups leave the litter when 8 weeks old. Puppy pick up can only be in person because I want to meet in person before I hand over one of my precious puppies.
One or maybe two puppies will be enrolled into my Puppy LifeStart Academy and will leave at the age of 10, 12 or 16 weeks. Please call or email me if you are interested to purchase a LifeStart Academy puppy.

Socialization
When the puppies are born we start with socializing the puppies right away. First through touch (ENS) and smell (ESI).
ENS/ESI with Venture (A - litter)
When they are around three weeks of age, eyes and ears are open by then, we start bringing in more and more stimuli like: the other dogs and cats (week 2/3), loud noises (week 3), first toys (week 3), obstacles like a tunnel (week 4), hygiene (week 4), (weather permits) first time outside (3/4), visitors (week 4), children (week 5) get used to different surfaces, different rooms in the house (week 5), car rides (week 6), visit vet (week 6), crate & potty training (week 6), (if applicable) Volhard puppy test (week 7).
Part of the socialization will be the weekend puppy visits once the puppies are about 4 weeks old. We invite you to come and visit with the puppies as often as possible, and also with the older dogs and with us.
We also train the puppies some basic cues before they go home, like sit, touch, look and calm leash walking. But because our pups leave the litter when around 8 weeks old they won’t be perfect at it:-)
It is up to you to make sure that these precious puppies learn (force free) every day so that they are able to strive in life. They deserve it!

Application Process
You can show your interest in one of our puppies by filling out our questionnaire.
I'll contact you asap once I've received your application.
Please know that I don't sell my puppies to buyers who (and this list is not limited):
- are gone from home most of the day, even if it's only for a couple of days a week. Unless there is some one looking after the dog. I don't sell weekend dogs!!!
- are looking for a dog with characteristics contrary of what a shepherd is. So if you want a dog that does not bark, please look further because shepherds are bred to alarm and bark when herding sheep. So they bark on occasion.
- are not going to pick up the puppy in person. Meeting you at least once in person is for me a MUST.
note: I’ll try to send you a reply within 48 hours. If you not have received one by then, please check your spam inbox and/or email me.

Why I Don’t Recommend Other WSS Breeders (Unless I’ve Bought a Puppy There Myself)
People often ask me if I can recommend another White Swiss Shepherd breeder. My answer is simple: only if I have personally bought a puppy from that breeder.
Not because I don’t trust others, and not because I want you to wait for my litter—but because choosing the right breeder shapes the next 12–14 years of your life with your dog.
I’ve learned that breeding quality varies enormously behind the scenes. A website can look perfect, but that says nothing about honesty, health testing, socialization, puppy matching, or lifelong support. I can only judge a breeder fairly when I’ve stood in their home, met their dogs, and experienced their process as a puppy buyer myself.
If I recommend someone, I am essentially telling you, “You will receive the same care and support there that you would get from me.” And unless I’ve seen that firsthand, I cannot promise it.
So instead of listing names, I help you evaluate breeders yourself—what to look for, what to avoid, and how to make the best, safest choice for your future puppy.
It’s not about loyalty or competition.It’s about protecting you, your family, and the puppy.
A White Swiss Shepherd is family. And family deserves the very best start.
