Welcome to the home of Northwoods Swissies, located in
Banks Oregon, operated by Drs Rebecca and Gregory
Martin. We enjoy our dogs as members of our family, and
recognize that they are a special breed. Swissies are
certainly not a good match for everyone, so please explore
this site for more information to help you decide if a swissy
is right for you. You will also find information on our dogs
and upcoming litters.
Northwoods is a small kennel, with a very limited number of
dogs. Rebecca is a small animal veterinarian in Portland,
with special interest in reproduction and internal medicine.
We use this knowledge in how we plan our litters and raise
our dogs. We only produce about 1 litter per year, and try to
keep in close contact with the families who welcome our
puppies into their lives. Additionally, we are always
available to support these families should they need
medical or other advice on their dogs.

When we decided that we were ready for a dog, it was easy to decide on a working breed as we enjoy
hiking, camping, and other activities. We also wanted a dog that is sturdy, protective, yet loving and
affectionate with family members. It was easy to narrow down the breed choices, and we decided on the
Greater Swiss Mountain Dog. Thanks to Susan Spaeth, Bella joined us at the age of 9 weeks old, and has
been a joy ever since. Initially intended as a companion, Rebecca started screening Bella for health
concerns when Bella was only 12 weeks old. As she grew up and earned her titles, and passed all her
health clearances with flying colors, it was an easy decision to breed her. We are happy with the
improvements we have made in her offspring, while maintaining her pleasant temperament. Though
breeding is a challenge, we find the resulting relationships very fulfilling. We also continue to enjoy the
other activities we can share with our dogs. We hope you find this website helpful, but feel free to contact
us with any additional questions.
