What's new in White Valhalla Wolves?

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. (...)

Fenris 9th birthday
Fenris's 9th Birthday
Fenris is the dog who made us fall in love with the White Swiss Shepherd. He combines strength, temperament, and versatility. A large, athletic male with thick fur and a distinctive, wolf-like expression, he attracts attention with both his appearance and personality. Lively, confident, and always ready for action, he excels in many areas: from dog frisbee to nosework to herding, where he demonstrated excellent instincts. Although he can be a barker, his natural joy for life and clear willingness to cooperate make him a dog you'll never be bored with.
And in private?
He's a dog who reacts to any food synonym with a series of crazy hopping circles, then launches full-on zoomies and flies through the garden like a bullet. He plays with puppies as if he himself had never grown up—without a hint of detachment, but with immense joy. At the same time, Fenris has always stood out among his breed for his self-confidence, intelligence, and independence in his work. Before carrying out an order, he carefully analyzes... what he'll get out of it. There's not a shred of grace in him—to this day, he doesn't know where it ends and where it begins. (...)

Everyday Bisia
Bifrost reports that she is completely unfazed by human speculation about her breeding career. The decision to retire her was made some time ago—and in that time, Bisia has managed to focus on truly important matters: cuddling with humans and guarding a strategic spot on the couch.
