THE BIG FIVE

Left to right: Diva-Lady of White Valley (Imp.Austria),  Ch.Arizona-First Lady of Snowey River, Ch.Brittney Blue Star of Snowey River, Ch.Lord Canto von Sutumer-Grund, Ch.Snowey River Luck Dragon

They are known as the SNOWEY RIVER BIG FIVE ! They have done awesome things for my kennel and for their country, each producing top offspring in their time. To write on all of them - well this page would just not suffice. I will choose a few words only on them all : they topped the countries best White Swiss Shepherd dogs in their time ever in sheer beauty, grace and charm, intelligence, stamina, conformation and had just the right producing genes ! These five will never be forgotten and will stay in my heart forever as my original BIG FIVE. A poem I wrote about Canto will sum up my absolute love and devotion for these five :

THE KING AND I
He stands so fine and tall,
The King.
​
His Head held high,
His eyes brown and caring,
​His white mane lying softly,
majestically around his neck,
He watches me,
with every move, he's by my side
Loyal and waiting.
​
I place my hand gently upon his crown,
He looks up at me devoted.
I kneel down before him,
And take his head in my hands,
He is so Loyal, loving and caring,
This King of mine.
​
He braces himself,
And gently, very gently with wet nose,
Nudges me,
A re-assuring gesture, I sigh,
I am so proud of this KING,
                                           
THIS KING AND I
​

poem by Michele van Vuuren

I GIVE LOVING TRIBUTES TO ALL THE  DOGS THAT HAVE ENTERED MY HOME,
