Located in the central coast of California-nestled within the Monterey Bay area-these special dogs thrive in the warmth of the California sun and the natural cooling of the coastal fog. Swissies, as they're affectionately called by the dog fancy, make wonderful, all-around farm dogs. Their ancestors originated in Switzerland where they were valued as carting dogs and drovers of livestock, as well as for their affinity for human companionship. The Greater Swiss are generally intelligent, strong-willed yet kind souls, that revel in the company of man and beast. Only in the hands of nurturing human companions are they able to realize a full life filled with love, compassion and a sense of belonging that is unparalleled in the animal kingdom.
