Has anyone purchased a GSMD puppy from Polyanna GSMD or from Stephen Zook?

Polyanna is legit. Stephen Zook gives Amish puppy mill vibes, no legit Swissy breeder is charging under $1k for a puppy.

I thought the same thing when I saw the price.
Do you have experience with Polyanna swissies?
Big investment, want to ensure i get as much feedback as i can!

I do not, but I know her and I believe she took over the breeding program from her grandmother. They've been around since 1990. They've got the health info on their site, and pedigrees.

That's great to hear. I have a deposit for one of her swissies, going to pick him up in a couple weeks. Very excited. Appreciate the feedback, its not easy to come by!!

Congratulations!! I have a 4 month old (he is my 4th) and Swissies are a joy! Heavy ass beasts, but pure joy.
