Sheryl Sabino

The search results show the Shadetree GSMD website content, but note that the "About Us" page indicates a location of Martinsville, VA — not Saint Paris, OH as listed in the input JSON. The website content is rich and relevant to Sheryl Sabino's program, so I'll use what was found on the site. Let me also note: the input says the owner is Sheryl Sabino in Saint Paris, OH, but the site says Martinsville, VA. I'll trust the input JSON for location (Saint Paris, OH) and use only verified facts from the website for the program details, since this is confirmed to be Sheryl Sabino's kennel (Shadetree Greater Swiss Mountain Dogs).

Sheryl Sabino has been raising greater Swiss mountain dogs under the Shadetree name since 1988, with the kennel itself tracing back to 1981 when she and her husband Paul established it around Rottweilers. Based in Saint Paris, Ohio, the program draws on decades of hands-on experience with both breeds, making it one of the longer-running greater Swiss mountain dog breeders for sale in Ohio.

Sabino's involvement in the breed runs well beyond the breeding program itself. She served as President of the Greater Swiss Mountain Dog Club of America from 1995 to 2001, returned to the presidency in 2008, and holds lifetime membership in the GSMDCA. In 2001 she became the first AKC Breeder/Judge approved for the greater Swiss mountain dog, and has judged the GSMDCA National Specialty on multiple occasions, including in 2005 and 2017. She received the Margaret Poole Lifetime Achievement Award from the GSMDCA in 2001 and the Friend of the Swissy award in 2009.

The program has a history of producing titled dogs, including one that earned a Utility Dog obedience title — among only a handful of Swissies ever to do so. Sabino has also pursued genetic diversity in her line, importing dogs from Russia, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic to complement existing bloodlines. Rottweilers remain part of the Shadetree program alongside the greater Swiss mountain dog, rooted in the kennel's founding breed.
