Day One's picture is of my oh-so-perfect puppy, Maddie. However, I feel that she needs a sibling--a much bigger sibling that I pick out. My breed of choice: Greater Swiss Mountain. If you haven't seen one, click on the link. They are amazing. This evening I went to a show put on by the Carolina Kennel Club and, as the sporting group was entering the ring, I knew there had to be a Swissie somewhere in close proximity. As I looked to my left, I laid my eyes on this beauty:
Note: the lighting in the Special Events Center is awful. She is absolutely gorgeous and this just doesn't do her justice. Meet Kenzie, a two year old female Swissie. She's a small one, too, weighing in at a tiny 95 pounds. Plus side: she doesn't have much of an undercoat!! Her owner told me that she sheds less than a lab and even her Aussie (I assume she was referring to an Australian Terrier.. .a Swissie would obviously shed less than an A.Shepherd and this lady didn't look like she would own an A.Cattle Dog). Kenzie was so sweet and calm and oh my gosh I am head over heels for this breed!
Tomorrow I will be skipping church to go and see the class only for Swissies!! There's over twenty of them in the class. I will be on Cloud 9. Oh I am in love.
