Breeder disclaimer
The White Swiss Shepherd Dog Club of the UK does not recommend or endorse any individual breeder. The names listed here are members in good standing of our Club and who have asked the Club to release their names to individuals enquiring about the breed.
Breeders list
The breeders list is restricted to Club Members who are committed to the Code of Ethics and Club Rules & Regulations (found on this website) which include a commitment to hip and elbow scoring their breeding dogs, they also test for...
MDR1 gene mutation - https://www.thekennelclub.org.uk/services/public/glossary/screening-scheme.aspx?id=DNA+test+-+MDR1&ReturnUrl=%2Fservices%2Fpublic%2Fglossary%2Fscreening-all.aspx
Degenerative Myleopathy (DM) - https://www.thekennelclub.org.uk/services/public/glossary/screening-scheme.aspx?id=DNA+test+-+DM
DNA profile
The breeders listed below are mainly show / hobby breeders and only have the occasional litter.
PLEASE NOTE: Our responsible Breed Club Members sell their pups (when available) for a fair price NOT upwards towards £3000 / £4000 like the breeders that only breed for profit! They hip & elbow score ALL their breeding dogs, not just one parent! They also use Kennel Club recognised DNA companies for testing their dogs for DM and MDR1, not these so called test for everything 160/180 DNA tests, these are just a marketing ploy to make out their dogs have undergone a lot of health testing. Always ask to see BOTH parents health screening documents e.g. the EXTREMELY IMPORTANT Hip & Elbow certificates from the BVA (British Veterinary Association) etc. Please ignore breeders that say they have not been done due to Covid, or the breed is healthier than the GSD and doesn’t need them done, this is not true and just a lame excuse to make money. The health and welfare of their dogs and the breed are not top priority, money is!
More show breeders have imported WSSD’s which are bringing new lines to the U.K. and some now have offspring from U.K. resident show dogs. Quite a few of these show breeders have become members of our Breed Club and by next year (fingers crossed) we hope to see more Breeders listed below and more possibility of having a WSSD puppy in your life.
