Falling into Fall
Fall Colors w Valentino and Davinci 
 
The boys and I recently got back from an amazing week in Utah, meeting hundreds of the Country's top St Bernard dogs who were competing at the National Specialty at the end of September.

 

We drove from a golden Telluride, into the red desert of MOAB, Utah, and ended up in the green pastures of "little Switzerland", Midway, Utah.

 

The St Bernard show was everything and more than what we had expected. Valentino and the "kid", 6 month old DaVinci, met dogs twice their size and twice as docile. The St Bernard enthusiasts met Alpen Schatz for the first time and we were well received.
St Bernard and Master all dolled up 
In all, it was a wonderful event and we look forward to supporting the same event next year. Popular items that we sold at the show were our new SWISS Steins and our Musical Advent Calendars.

Blue Boar Inn  
                 European Style B&B and Restaurant Favorite

After having lived many years in Europe and having enjoyed some of the top European Country House Hotels and Castles, The Blue Boar Inn is a gem of a find.

Blue Boar Inn

Nestled in the green rolling hills surrounding the Swiss settled town of Midway, Utah, the Blue Boar Inn is the closest and most authentic property I have found in America which represents a fine European property, down to its antique cross bows and antiques adorning the walls to the expertise and impeccable professionalism of its staff.

 

This fine Chateau boasts 12 lavishly decorated rooms, each representing its own character reminiscent of a distinguished poet or author. Its fine dining restaurant offers state of the art cuisine and the absolute best Fondue I have ever savored - even in Switzerland!

Il Porcellino
Il Porcellino

 

There is no pretense here, it is authentic down to the magnificent bronze "Blue" Boar sitting outside the front entrance - a rare exact replica of Il Porcellino, sculpted and cast by Baroque master Pietro Tacca in the early 17th century.

 

The Blue Boar is well worth a visit if not only for dinner or brunch in its award winning restaurant. If you do frequent the Blue Boar Inn, be sure to visit its gift shop, which boasts many of Alpen Schatz's fine European Treasures!

 

Viel Vergn�gen!!!

Happy Customer: GORDON - Alpen Schatz Collar saved his life!

Gordon and his Lifesaving Collar 

Recently we received a note from Gordon's owner in California thanking us for his Alpen Schatz collar having saved his life! Read the whole story in his BLOG and bear in mind the following note from Gordon's owner:

 

"I would be happy for you to include Gordon's picture (and story) in your newsletter.I think he looks great in it!  Here are some new pictures of Gordon wearing his collar: You can see the bite mark very clearly in a couple of the shots. 

 

When repeating the story, please make it clear that Gordon kind of started the fight - I don't want people to have the impression that the pitbull attacked him. He doesn't know when to back off - or maybe he does now!

 

All the best,

Matthew of  Oakland, CA "

  
Happy Customer: BAXTER the Black Lab

  Baxter the Happy Lab

Mary Dawn,

I have attached a picture of Baxter, my 2 year old black lab, wearing his Swiss collar which I bought at your shop in June...He is a very stately fellow, I must say, especially when there is a treat in sight.

 

Thank you,

P. Fox
