About Us 
 
We are hobby breeders of Greater Swiss Mountain dogs located in Deer Park, Texas just outside of Houston.  Our family now consists of Teresa Hand, a teacher, and Susan Starnes, a Registered Nurse, and four Swissys, Riley, Wilsyn, Loni Kai, and Merlin which are the most wonderful Swissys in Texas.  We handle all of our dogs to their championship. We are active members of the Greater Swiss Mountain Dog Club of America, since 1999, with Susan being on the board of directors from 2005-2006 and Teresa being a member of the health committee,  members of Southbound, and founding members of the Gulf Coast Greater Swiss Mountain Dog Club with Teresa serving as President in 2005-2006.  We occasionally have puppies, but only to improve the breed.  We only bred dogs with good temperament and health clearances including hips, elbows, shoulders, patellas, heart, and CERF.  Our oldest two Swissys, Riley and Wilysn, earned their championships at 16 mo and 13 months respectively. While Esther, who waits at rainbow bridge, earned her championship at 18 mo, Loni Kai, finished her Championship at 12 mo.  Merlin is the newest edition to our household and we are anxiously awaiting his ring debut.  Our dogs not only work in the show ring in conformation, but we are interested in obedience, rally, and drafting.
