Our Mission
|
Our mission at Top Hat GSMDs is to produce healthy Swissies that conform to the breed standards as outlined by our National Club. We perform all recommended health clearances, including radiographs which are taken of shoulders, elbows and hips at two years of age. The results of these tests are sent to the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) for evaluation and are published on their website.
At 18-month, eyes are examined by a board certified opthomologist and the results are published on the OFA website. Although there are no guarantees in life, I spend a considerable amount of time researching pedigrees for future breedings. I do my very best to produce Swissies that meet the breed standards, have traditional markings and good temperaments all in the hopes that our puppies become valued, happy family members in their new homes! |
