RAINBOW BRIDGE
There is a pretty place up in the sky,
Where special animals go when they die.
A place to stay and wait all day
Until their master comes their way.
For some the wait is short and sweet,
For others time drags on leaded feet.
Row upon row by heaven’s gate
The noble, furried creatures wait.
For a certain footstep that they know,
For a certain voice to say, “Let’s go.”
And so you left us on this day
For a place of no pain, to run, to play.
But keep your eyes upon the gate,
I’ll try not to be late.
I’ll softly call your name and then,
Together, life will be good again.
— “Doc” Frank G. Nuanes.

Riot was our best show boy from out first litter, SUV litter. He was a big, goofy boy who will be terribly missed. Riot fathered two litter our “Fishing” litter then a litter of three our of Gretta. He was a great show dog and sparkled in the ring. He was taken from us way to suddanly, but we will cherish all our memories.

Our girl Miss Essa was a very entertaining girl. She was always doing something crazy for a good laugh. She was an attention hog and would do anything or go up to anyone for an ear scratch. Essa was our foundation bitch and blessed us with three beautiful litters. We are very fortunate for the time we had with her and the joy she brought us and puppy families. We will miss you. She was from suddanly swissys.

We rescued Vixen when she was 2 years old. She was a happy and fun loving girl. When she was four she had a spleenic torsion and 6 months later she passed away.

Frasco
Frasco was our first swissy. Bubba Gump started our Swiss Run Kennel. He has been a loyal and great friend. Frasco has been able to enjoy a life of luxury. Once we got one Swissy it was not enough, you can never have to many Swissys. Frasco is the start of where our story begins. Frasco is from Suddanly Swissys. Sadly we lost our baby boy on 11/16/07. He will be missed, but never forgotten. http://www.suddanlyfarms.com

Mader is a special boy and one of a kind. Mader finished his Championship at 16 months with limited showing with the big win at the 2008 National Specialty in Oxford, Ohio. He won winners dog and Best of Winners, thank you Pepe (Jose) Anastas. At his first shows the day he turned 6 months he went winners dog and Best of Breed. Mader is currently was being expertly handled by Kitty Burke. In 2008, he has been treading the waters as a special. Mader has been to one show a month from July to November and has made it to the top ten. At the Blue Ridge Specialty October 10th, 2008 Mader went Best in Specialty at 21 months, then proceeded to win a group 1. What a great day for the young man. He has a great future ahead of him with hopes of one day achieving his Versatility title. Most of all he is a great friend and companion.
Structure:
Mader is a medium-sized, Tight, Balanced and an athletic dog. He has a lot of breed type, but is not overdone. He could still perform jobs which the GSMD was breed for. He has a solid topline, good front, and a powerful rear. He looks absolutely stunning in the show ring. Mader has a relatively short coat with black undercoat on his body and dark gray undercoat on his neck. His colors are very clear and rich in color. Mader has a beautiful headpiece. He has a thick, but well rounded neck that is well placed from his shoulders. He has a modereate layback to his shoulder and nice tight feet. He has nice rear angles, but a little to much rounding in his croup. I would also like to see a little more lenth of body. He always looks happy and is always smiling.
Movement:
Mader has wonderful movement. He is sturdy and drafty, but moves with ease. His side gait is exceptional with very strong and true reach and drive. He is well muscled and agile for his age. Most people remember Mader from his movement, facial expressions, and crazy antics.
Temperament:
Mader loves everyone. He loves children, puppies, and small breed dogs. He helps show the puppies around the yard when they are old enough to go outside. If a new dog comes over he is the first one to great them and show them the yard and his toys. He deals very well with new and different situations. Mader will soon be traveling to Nursing homes and the local hospital to spread some cheer. In August of 2008 Mader became a Therapy Dog through Therapy Dog Incorporated. He loves meeting new people and getting lots of attention.
Mader plays well with most dogs. He will not go looking to get into it with other dogs he rather stick to himself and be a little independent. Within the family Mader is lowest man on the totem pole. He is pretty passive and takes things as they come.
