RODEO is a responsible breeder of AKC Greater Swiss Mountain Dogs, based in Oakhurst, CA, at the Gateway to Yosemite National Park. Swissy owners since 2001 and breeders since 2003, we produce quality Swissies, with a focus on temperament, health and structural soundness. As Preservation Breeders, we strive to produce dogs that conform to the AKC Breed Standard, with all the clear and recognizable traits of the Greater Swiss Mountain Dog, to include: A striking, tri-colored, large, powerful, confident dog of sturdy appearance. Heavy boned, well muscled, with a dense topcoat and, as a double coated breed, with undercoat always present. A bold, faithful, willing worker. Alert and vigilant. We are a small home-based breeding program with many years of experience with the Greater Swiss Mountain Dog. Today, we participate with our dogs in Conformation dog shows and Fast Cat. We have past experience in rally, formal obedience, drafting, weight pull, herding, therapy dog visits, and backpacking with Swissies.
