Alpenblick Greater Swiss Mountain Dogs

Alpenblick Greater Swiss Mountain Dogs raises AKC-registered greater Swiss mountain dogs on a property in Elgin, Oregon, situated in the Blue Mountains region east of La Grande. Annika Schmid founded the program after bringing home her first greater Swiss mountain dog in 2011, and the kennel grew from a genuine love of living alongside the breed.

The Alpenblick story has European roots: the family imported a dog from the Czech Republic in 2016, and that international lineage informs the program's breeding stock. Dogs in the program have earned a range of AKC titles, including conformation championships, a Herding Capability Title, an AKC Temperament Test designation, and Fast CAT titles, reflecting a commitment to versatility rather than a single narrow focus. Health clearances on file include OFA evaluations for hips, elbows, shoulders, patellas, heart, and eyes, with CHIC certification documented for program dogs.

For those searching for greater Swiss mountain dog breeders in Oregon, the Elgin setting on a horse property offers the dogs daily exposure to livestock and ranch life alongside family. Annika also handcrafts Swiss-themed dog collars, a detail that speaks to the depth of her connection to the breed's heritage.
