The Swissy Breed Standard in a Word Cloud
My family lives in Hershey PA. We are interested in possibly purchasing a Swissy Dog. We would like to visit a local trusted Swissy breeder to learn more. Please direct us to a local breeder near Hershey PA.
Thank you.

Hi Jon-
There are several very good breeders in that area. Please check out our resources page for the breeder’s directory. I know that Seavaridge Swissys, Cabro Swissys, and Kismet Swissys are near the general area.
I have been trying to find the perfect dog breed for my lifestyle and Swissy’s seem to be perfect. I live near DC and am wondering if there is a breeder in the surrounding areas so i can visit with them and learn more. I want to be fully prepared for my swissy’s home coming.
Hi Sasha- There several very good Swissy breeders in the DC area. Please see our resources page for the GSMDCA breeder’s directory. Mary Jo Rasmussen of Double Q Swissys is in Falls Church and has litters periodically. She is also our club treasurer and the President of the National Swissy Club.
