About Amon
Amon has a friendly and playful character with wonderful drive and a strong will to please. His pedigree is made up of unique South American lines, not widely seen in American or European pedigrees. He has exceptional conformation, as proven by his show results in Brazil, where he was the #1 White Swiss Shepherd in 2014 and 2015. Amon also has perfect health results, even when x-rayed at 4 years old for results in the Netherlands after he moved there. Amon offers everything we could ever want: temperament, conformation, health, and genetic diversity. Amon will be 14 years old this fall and is still living in the Netherlands with his co-own family.

ABOUT THE EPIC LITTER
planned fall 2025
I am beyond excited to announce our planned EPIC litter! It is rare I am able to find a pairing that ticks all of my boxes, but this one does just that. I expect this combination to produce shorthair White Swiss Shepherds that will be highly competitive in the show ring, make excellent sport prospects, or great family companions. Thalie's Embark is still pending, but I believe the eCOI for this combination will be below breed average based on the eCOI with Amon and other females of European lineage.
Sire Amon had a very successful show career when he lived in Brazil, earning his Champion of International Beauty (CIB; the highest FCI show title), Grand Champion of Brazil, Grand Champion of PanAm, multi CH, and he was the #1 White Swiss Shepherd in Brazil in 2014 and 2015. In 2015, he was exported to the Netherlands so that he could offer a new line to Europe. Unfortunately, Amon passed away earlier this year due to old age--he was over 13 years old. Amon's passing makes this breeding extra special, and I am beyond grateful to Alma Groot for allowing us to purchase the last of her frozen semen from this impressive male.
In France, Thalie passed the French Test d'Aptitudes Naturelles (TAN; a French temperament test) and received multiple Excellent ratings in FCI shows. She also earned her Cotation 3 breeding license in France. Shortly after her arrival to the USA, Thalie completed her UKC Show Champion title and earned a herding group 2nd placement at her first show here. Thalie has also begun agility training, which we plan to return to after the litter.
Exciting news! Thalie was bred on July 30th. If the breeding was successful, puppies will be due at the end of September and ready to go just before Thanksgiving.
