About
WALNUT LANE ACRES

“I came across Eli and Larissa’s page while looking for a Swissy in 2020. It was very smooth from the initial contact until we had Walter home. Eli and Larissa were both very responsive and knowledgeable about the breed. We loved that they had a huge space for the puppies to run around, allowed them to bond and learn from their mom and socialized them. It was very important to us that we got the puppy from people who love this breed! We got Walter during the pandemic so there were no flights available but they were able to secure land transportation to safely bring Walter from Illinois to California. Walter is absolutely gorgeous, very healthy and has a lovely temperament. He has a great guard dog bark, is very sweet with children and a little bit of a goofball at times. He will be 3 years old soon and is 120 lbs! We haven’t had any health issues with him. We have kept the communication going with Eli and Larissa and have no doubt that we will be reaching out to them for our future Swissies.” – Jane Cox
