RODEO: AKC Greater Swiss Mountain Dogs

Alta is our sweet and mellow puppy from our "C" Litter, Hogan x Nexpa. Alta was named after our favorite snowy peak in Sequoia National Park and was co-bred with us by DaLena Christensen of Snowy Mountain Farms. A very good girl she earned her AKC Trick Dog Novice Title at four months of age! This beautiful Nexpa daughter has all our hearts. She finished her AKC Championship with 4 majors, and all points from the Bred By Exhibitor Class. She was Winners Bitch at both the 2018 GSMDCA Mid-West and Western Regional Specialties (probably never been done before!), and Best in Sweepstakes at the 2018 Lake Shore GSMD Specialties. Moving on, she finished her Grand Championship with all major wins (7 majors) and 6 shows with champions defeated as well as many Owner-Handled Best of Breed wins. Retired from regular showing, this gorgeous girl just stops our hearts daily as she free stacks herself on the ranch and trots around with beautiful movement all day long.

Alta is the Dam of our "Four" Litter. All three puppies from this litter selected as show puppies completed their AKC championships.
