Arctic wolves?

I couldn't wait for winter to create these shots with our white "wolves."
I love Arctic wolves—in such a setting, our shepherds truly resemble them visually.
If I had to choose a favorite season for white Swiss Shepherds, it would probably be winter. Although I'm increasingly looking forward to spring, the charm of snowy shots is undeniable.

To preempt your questions: how do we make our dogs look so white in photos?

The answer is simple—Photoshop.
They're not snow-white. Some of them have very light fur (Torvi, Runa—genetics plays a big part here), but I edit my winter photos according to my own sense of aesthetics. I gently bleach the fur and play with colors and "zippers."

The photo shows our not-so-snow-white Hakon.

One paw speaks louder than a thousand barks

Walkiria and Torvi.

One paw speaks louder than a thousand barks.
Dog communication can be very subtle – but clear. Walkiria rarely needs to resort to explicit reactions – usually a gesture, a look, a freeze, or a raised tail are enough.
Torvi, on the other hand, can display a whole range of submissive gestures in response – lowering her ears, licking Walkiria's muzzle, wriggling at her feet.

Pure language of the species.
I love watching these wordless conversations.

Recent walk together

A few shots from our last walk together :)
This time: Celebrian, Runa, Frodo, Hati, Isten with their families.
We try to organize these meetings every few months. There's time for conversation, sharing experiences, observing the dogs in a group, a bit of socializing, and photos along the way.
For us, it's also a moment to see the results of our breeding work over time, not just at the "sweet puppy" stage. (...)
