Vrh “Q” NIKTEL (CZ)

We expect the birth of the litter “Q” in the second half of June 2025. The mating took place in the second half of April in Bordeaux, France. Puppies in this litter will be both short-haired and long-haired. We expect balanced friendly characters, sporting spirit and loving companions for every occasion. We are now accepting reservations only for boys (male puppies). The expected date of departure to new homes of these puppies is mid-August (8 weeks) or beginning of October (for countries requiring full vaccination).

Parents

The parents of this litter are completely unrelated within at least 5 generations back.

Mother – Diamond – Her absolute greatest asset is her perfect character. She is friendly, cheerful and completely fearless and confident. She loves all people and animals and is wonderful with children, she even has something loke canistherapy tendencies. She is the best partner a person could wish for, she will follow her loved ones even to the end of the world and fulfill whatever she sees in their eyes. She’s just a big go-getter and everyone’s favorite. Don’t expect a sharp guard dog from her, Daiminka is more of a welcoming type of dog. She sometimes barks behind the fence, so she intimidates with her size and appearance, but she would lick the offender rather than stopping him. When we offer her some action, she is immediately ready to run out into nature, on a trip or even a race. It is not for nothing that she became the first WSS female in history to win the title of The most hard working WSS of the year and Master of Endurance Sports for her lifetime achievements in sports. She runs canicross, obstacle races and does scootering with us. She is an excellent sports dog especially in mushing sports, she has a big heart and loves racing, adrenaline and overcoming all kinds of obstacles. During races, she climbs over, climbs under, swims, has no problem with confined spaces or, for example, with mud, if necessary she goes headfirst into everything. She is also excellent as a teacher for beginner runners, we often lend her to other people to run with, and she has absolutely no problem running with someone she barely knows.

She has year-round excellent dark pigmentation, extremely dark eyes, claws, strong skeleton, prominent chest and perfect body structure. During her life, she achieved a number of prestigious awards at exhibitions – she is Multi Grand Champion, Multi Champion and Junior Champion of several countries.

Diamond is still in excellent shape and has perfect health even at almost eight years old. In the racing season, she is well-muscled. She has excellent health results from all possible mandatory and optional genetic tests, which we performed beyond the scope, so she has the best conditions to bring beautiful and healthy puppies into the world.

Father – Sharlie is a four-year-old dog with semi-long hair. He lives in south-western France in the kennel “From the lands of Sköll et Hati”. He has a wonderful character, is very social, balanced, calm and attentive in all situations. He is in good health, he has wonderful results of a series of genetic tests. In 2022, he met the certification conditions for a breeding dog in France. First he became a stud dog at basic level 1. Since then, he has been gradually completing other tests and exams and this year he successfully passed a character test and thus moved to a higher level 3 (selective breeding). The test consisted of a gunshot test, proving he is not afraid of a crowd of people, running children, a stroller, an umbrella or tested his prey drive. He did very well in it. 

He has very dark pigmentation (black nose, dark lips, extremely dark eyes, dark skin, paw pads, etc.) and snow-white fur. His perfectly-set ears underline the noble head and form a very handsome masculine expression. He is a strong dog with fine body build, 65 cm tall and weighs 40 kg. He has beautiful movement and looks very noble in it. He likes to spend time with his family and likes to complete all the tasks he gets. He is involved in exhibitions a little and has basic training. In shows he was awarded several “excellent” at the breed specials and got a RCACS. He already has 4 litters in France, and another one is currently growing up in Italy. This will be his first litter in the Czech Republic, so we are looking forward to importing new blood. His pedigree includes very well-known and high-quality dogs from France, Hungary, Germany, and there are also traces of Czech blood.

Puppies

This litter will have both short coat and long coat puppies.

The puppies will have a pedigree certificate (proof of parentage) and will have a full FCI pedigree issued by the Czech-Moravian Kennel Club (ČMKU). You can find the pedigree of future puppies below (in preparation), or on the pedigreedatabase here.

All puppies in our kennel go through a well-thought-out socialization program with many stages. We pay great attention to socialization and focus on ensuring that the puppies leave us confident, socialized and fearless as much as possible. We start very early, already a few days after the birth, and we continue gradually with individual follow-up phases, according to the development of the puppies and in context to their age. If the puppies stay up to 8 weeks (normal age within the Czech Republic or Slovakia), there are roughly 30 different stages. If due to the import rules and regulations of the destination country the puppy has to stay longer (usually up to 15 weeks of age after full vaccination), there can be up to 50 socialization stages. We record every part of the socialization on video and send it to future owners, or we publish selected videos on our website, Youtube channel and IG / FB page of our kennel. For a clearer idea of ​​how the socialization takes place in our kennel and what each phase means, you can read about our previous litters, or watch the various published socialization videos – YT playlist dedicated directly to socialization can be found here.

Puppies can go to their new homes after 8 (or 15 depending on the country and its regulations) weeks of age, regularly wormed, min. 1x vaccinated, chipped, fully socialized, according to their age, with basic hygiene habits. They will receive from us an international passport (vaccination certificate), a starter pack with some equipment and food for the puppy to begin with and a lot of printed information regarding the development to date and advice and recommendations for the upbringing and development of the puppy in the future. After the puppies are born we take a lot of photos and videos of each puppy, which we send to the future owners via WhatsApp on a daily basis, so that they can follow their development while they are still with us and to know how the puppies are doing, what they did that day and how they are growing. Last but not least, we guarantee all owners lifelong breeder’s service for watever advice they may need in the future. The visit of the future owners of the puppies is possible with us immediately after the first vaccination (for the safety of the puppies), i.e. from approx. 6.5 weeks of age.

Before going to their new homes, our puppies go through a character test (Volhard puppy aptitude test), where their character traits and assumptions are checked and tested. Based on the results of this test, the planned use of the puppies by the future owners and in cooperation with them, we select the most suitable puppies for the best families to “fit” together as best as possible.

We are able to export puppies almost all over the world, we already have progeny living in the USA, Mexico, China, Spain, Belarus, the UK, Ireland, Finland and the whole of Central Europe.

If you are interested in applying for a puppy, please do not hesitate to contact us, we will be happy to send you our puppy application form. We are looking for loving families with a big heart, an active lifestyle and a good background for the puppy.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us.

About the breed briefly:

The White Swiss Shepherd is a very sociable and loyal dog who loves his family above all else and will do almost anything for them. At the same time, it is very versatile and offers a wide range of possibilities in terms of its use. Active individuals like to train various sports (canicross, agility, dog frisbee, coursing…) or love obedience training. On the other hand there are calmer WSS who can become excellent canistherapy dogs and search and rescue dogs. They love nosework and are simply excellent companions for any occasion. In general, they are more sensitive in nature than maybe a GSD, so it is advisable to approach them gently and to raise and train them with a positive attitude. The white shepherd dog is also suitable for children, they usually love children and like to play with them. It is possible to keep them in an apartment, with sufficient physical and mental exercise, they will be happy both in a house with a garden and in a block of flats. We always offer advice and help with training to people with little or no previous experience with dogs, so it is not a problem to entrust them even to first-time dog owners.

We made a short film about the breed with our dogs in cooperation with Tlapka TV, link below (unfortunately the speech is only in Czech).
