Welcome to Dances with Wolves Ranch!  

Our Berger Blanc Suisse (White Swiss Shepherd) breeding program, the first in the United States, is the result of many years of research and international travel to meet the best breeders and dogs in person. Most of our breeding dogs are direct imports from Europe and come from World Champion lines. Our breeding program includes dogs from the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Croatia, Sweden, Russia, Ukraine, and most recently Argentina. Having a multilingual European background and a degree in biology with a specialization in genetics and animal behavior, I have the privilege of unique insight into the global development of the breed. You will find that not only do our lineages have the best show results in the world, but have also proven themselves in their work ability in areas such as search and rescue, agility, herding, tracking, protection, and most importantly, service and therapy.  

Having healthy dogs is of utmost importance at DWWR. In addition to examining the health record of our individual breeding dogs, we research the multigenerational health documentation of each line to ensure we only breed dogs with immaculate health history.

My special focus is to breed dogs with exceptionally high intelligence that exhibit easy trainability traits. Additionally, they need to have a gentle and highly intuitive disposition, making them ideal service and therapy dogs and amazing family companions. Many of our White Swiss Shepherd puppies are currently serving people with various disability needs and working as therapy dogs in schools, hospitals, and retirement homes. Given the characteristics of the breed and specifically our lines, these dogs make exceptional family dogs and get along well with other animals, small children, and the elderly.
