White Swiss Shepherds of Fireside Fernweh is a small versatility-focused breeding program located in Illinois, USA. Dogs are our lifestyle - training, sport trials, shows, hiking, playtime, biking - you name it, we do it with our dogs.  While we emphasize sporting abilities, we also value correct conformation as laid out in the FCI White Swiss Shepherd breed standard as well as sound health. We aim to produce versatile dogs capable of competing in dog shows and a variety of sports, and who are also suited to be active family companions. Our breedings are carefully planned between parents who balance one another in all areas. In our opinion, the ideal White Swiss Shepherd is a sociable dog who enjoys affection when permission is granted, a driven working and sporting dog with an off switch, and a highly intelligent and biddable life partner.
