Welcome to Calypso Greater Swiss Mountain Dogs!

Bev and Terry Brown of Golden, Colorado, have been showing and breeding dogs for 15 years.  We were introduced to Greater Swiss Mountain Dogs 10 years ago and have since been dedicated to this beautiful, hard-working affectionate breed. 

The Greater Swiss Mountain Dog is the largest of the four Swiss Sennenhund breeds. Historically, the Greater Swiss Mountain Dog assisted farmers and herdsmen with daily chores, such as pulling carts and keeping a watchful eye over livestock. Today the Swissy, as it is known to its friends, is primarily a family dog, though the working dog aptitude remains strong. As a family pet, the Swissy is noted for its gentle nature, great loyalty, and wonderful disposition toward children. 

We started with Dalmatians, those high-energy, spotted dogs and we love them and have one (Abe, age 13) still in our family. 

Recent News June 2010

Sadly, our "Mama Maxie" has gone on to Rainbow Bridge where we know she frolics with the other great dogs that have passed before. She has left us a legacy of18 beautiful puppies, and we were blessed to place them with incredible families.  What we are left with is the knowledge that her puppies are providing the kind of great joy for their families that her memory brings to us.

We will not be putting a litter on the ground until late 2010, but we appreciate the inquiries we receive from interested puppy buyers.  Please feel free to contact us because we are likely aware of other planned breedings in our area.  We continue to refer prospective buyers to breeders we trust and respect.  Please know that patience is  key when searching to buy a Swissy, and please remember that no respectable, responsible breeder would ever advertise puppies for sale in a newspaper or online.
