'Sereno Spirit' White Swiss Shepherds
Welcome to our website..
We are owned by five White Swiss Shepherds, three Norwegian Forest Cats and a Maine Coon, they all live in our home with us as part of our family. We live on a remote smallholding in Pembrokeshire near the Preseli Mountains in Wales but we also own a home with an acre of land in the beautiful Valencia region of Spain where we occasionally spend some time with our dogs. Our White Swiss Shepherds are first and foremostly our pets but they have all been shown in the UK and in Europe and we are now looking forward to showing our Norwegian Forest Cats.
Alongside a group of good friends we founded a White Swiss Shepherd breed club in the UK and in 2017 the Kennel Club accepted our application for new breed recognition, there was a KC press release for the recognition for White Swiss Shepherd Dogs and our Chai’s photo was used.

Prior to UK breed recognition, between 2008 and 2017 in the show ring our dogs and their offspring have been awarded over 80 championship Certificates between them under many top International Judges from around the world - we are so proud of all our gang! Some of our dogs offspring are also proving themselves in show rings around Europe (at all levels) having been awarded Best in Show, Group 1 wins, numerous CAC/CACIB's, Best Puppy placings, Best Junior & Best of Breed and some have Champion titles.
Our goal as dedicated WSSD show and occasional hobby breeders was to produce the best examples of the breed as to our ability having kept quality above quantity in mind. We always aimed for our 'Sereno Spirit' offspring to be considered as close as is possible to their Breed Standard in all aspects.
Producing healthy, family companions with good character and temperament was always high on our agenda and we have made many new friends who are also owners of our offspring.
In 2022 a decision was made to retire from breeding but we remain involved with our breed club http://www.whiteswissshepherdclubuk.org/
