Double Q Swissies
                                            EXCELLENCE IN ACTION
Home Page

Double Q Swissies is committed to producing and assisting in the development of healthy, happy dogs who stand the test of time in whatever they do—be it lounging couch-potato antics or herding sheep and ducks.

Double Q is a term used in Obedience, Rally, Agility and other events. Dogs that compete at the excellent levels in these sports need two qualifying scores on the same day in order to advance to even greater heights—hence the term Double Q. Dogs have to be of sound mind and body for a number of years to attain this distinction; they are exposed to marathon conditions, not sprints.
