Royce

Royce

Royce is from our 'England' litter and was the 'light blue' puppy. He lives with and is co-owned with Kara & Craig in Michigan.

Royce was the fastest dog I've finished to date. He was only taken out to three show weekends and finished with 6 back-to-back wins that included 4 majors.

He also is an AMAZING weight pulling dog and within a 10 month span earned all the legs needed to get his Working Weight Dog SUPERIOR title at just a little over 2 years of age and then went on to quickly earn the points needed for his ACE weight pulling award too! He holds many 'Most Weight Pulled' awards at pulls on many different surfaces.
Royce is a sweet, lovable goofball. He is very affectionate with people and great with other dogs, both big and small. He has a very strong desire to please.

Royce is having a lot of fun and success being a veteran! He won Best of Opposite Sex Veteran in Sweeps at the IS associated with the 2018 NS...he also won Most Weight Pulled Veteran and Most Weight Pulled per Pound Veteran at the 2018 NS weight pull. At the 2019 National he won Best of Opposite Sex Veteran in the National Sweepstakes and Most Weight Pulled Veteran and Most Weight Pulled per Pound Veteran at the 2019 NS and IS weight pulls.

At 10.5 years of age Royce is still incredibly sound and strong and earned multiple 'Most Weight Pulled' from the regular classes on snow...so many swissies are lucky to even make it into the double digits...much less still be strong and capable enough to win at an all breed weight pull. This guy just LOVES to pull and is still having so much fun doing what he loves...incredibly impressive!
Royce was neutered in April 2020 - we do have frozen (with nice post-thaw) available on him though.
Royce passed away spring 2023 - he was happy, healthy, and moving great right up until the end - he started having spells where he would collapse and gums would turn completely pale. His bloodwork indicated he was anemic. The assumption was that he was having some type of internal bleeding but at his age it was opted not to put him through surgery and instead he was peacefully helped across the bridge.
