ABOUT
Appa is out of Natus Astra Avis Del Branco Selvaggio and Young Taya Moro’s Ensign. Appa has a very stable, level headed temperament with excellent working drive. He loves to engage with anybody who has a ball or treat in their hand. He loves fetch and being active outdoors. He is friendly and social both with people and other dogs, making him an easy dog to live and train with. His combination of motivation, clear thinking, and stable temperament is exactly what we are aiming to produce with this litter!
About Appas Sire and Dam
Natus - Sire
Natus was imported into the USA by Moro White Swiss Shepherds. He had an impressive show career and is an FCI Champion in over 10 countries I had the opportunity to meet quite a few of his offspring before meeting him, and I was always impressed by how stable and friendly they are. His offspring have done well both in sports and the show ring. In 2025 at the UKC Western Classic dog show, I got to meet Sydney, the owner of Moro White Swiss Shepherds. I begged her to bring Natus to the show so I could meet him. Right off the bat he was very friendly and at 12 years old all he wanted to do was have you throw his ball. I feel very lucky to have had the opportunity to meet Sydney and Natus after seeing what he consistently produces in his offspring.
Taya - Dam
Taya was bred by Moro White Swiss Shepherds and lives with Angel Young the owner of Shasta Shepherds in California. Angel has done amazing things with Taya including getting her BH title and IGP1 title.

ABOUT
Ori is a balance of cuddly and independent. She loves being close and affectionate, but she’s not over the top about it and is super easy to live with. In the house she’s very chill and has a really solid off switch, but outside she loves being active. She’s always up for hiking, swimming, or just going somewhere new.
Ori is everything I wanted out of a White Swiss Shepherd. She’s super friendly, stable, and an easy dog to live with. I can take her pretty anywhere. She is great with kids, good with other dogs, and she has a really natural, outgoing personality without being too much.
She is the first dog I got a champion title with and she has been really fun to work with. She has high food drive, which makes training easy, and she enjoys scent work. I love her dark pigment and her smaller, more athletic build. She’s very functional but still feminine.
What to expect out of an Appa and Ori puppy!
Puppies from this pairing are expected to be well-balanced overall, with personalities that can vary throughout the litter. Some puppies may take more after their mom, showing a calmer nature, a strong nose, and an excellent ability to settle, making them great candidates for scent work, the show ring, or companion homes. Others may lean more toward their dad, with a bit more interest in toys and fetch, medium/high energy, and a nice balance that could suit sport foundations. Many will likely fall somewhere in between, blending good off-switches with versatility. Overall, this pairing is expected to produce stable, thoughtful puppies who enjoy swimming, are easy to live with, and can do well in a variety of homes depending on the individual puppy.
