The “U Źródła” kennel is run with passion, experience and a great sense of responsibility. It has been registered with the Polish Kennel Club (ZKwP) for 16 years, caring for the health, sound development and thorough socialisation of its dogs. The breeding dogs are health-tested, titled and carefully selected, and 26 litters have been born here so far.
Dogs from the kennel work, among other things, in dog-assisted therapy, which confirms their stable temperament, gentleness and readiness for contact with people. Puppies have found responsible homes in Poland and abroad — in Sweden, Scotland, Finland, Greece, the USA, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Germany.
The kennel is also involved in education: it works with nurseries and schools, teaching children how to care for a dog properly, to respect animals and to behave safely around them.
Our litters so far have been White Swiss Shepherds — below are the words of their owners. Our first Finnish Lapphund litter is due in October 2026.
What our puppy owners say
I recommend the “U Źródła” kennel with all my heart!
We met Emilia at a dog show in Gdańsk. A White Swiss Shepherd had been our dream, and after talking to Emilia and meeting her girls we knew this was it!
We have two children, so we were full of worries, but Emilia matched the right puppy to us perfectly, which shows her enormous experience in running a kennel.
Our dog is… perfect. The kind you meet only once in a lifetime. It seems to me he understands every word I say. No behavioural problems. None, absolutely no health problems. Balanced, cheerful, friendly — he loves the children so much that I never imagined it was even possible. A big cuddler! He learns everything in a flash, and we can take him absolutely anywhere — he is no trouble at all.
We are incredibly grateful to Emilia for her trust!
Natalia Malik, Regis (Yoel) U Źródła (translated)
Dear Emilia, I am writing to thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything.
You are a wonderful person with a huge passion, and it is clear that you put your whole heart into raising the little ones.
Our Heidi is an incredibly clever, happy and wonderful dog. At every step you can see that she had excellent care and great socialisation with you from her first weeks of life.
Being in touch with you is a pure pleasure, and the support we receive from you is invaluable to us.
Choosing your “U Źródła” kennel was the best decision we could have made!
Sylwia and Heidi, Scotland (translated)
I have very good memories of the whole process of choosing and collecting Biviana, a White Swiss Shepherd, from the “U Źródła” kennel. Biviana has been with us since 22 June 2025, and looking back I can say it was a very good choice.
From the very beginning I appreciated above all the attitude of the kennel owner. She is open, likeable and very committed, and at the same time has a great deal of knowledge about the breed and is happy to answer questions. We could come beforehand, see the kennel, meet the dogs, talk and find out without any rush what to pay attention to. The approach to choosing a puppy mattered too — it was the owner, knowing her dogs and their characters, who matched the puppy to the particular person, not the other way round.
I also rate highly the care for health and the responsible approach to breeding. Attention is paid to the choice of parents, their health and the history of successive generations, so as to limit the risk of disease as far as possible. When collecting the puppy we received a puppy pack and all the information we needed about care, feeding and what to do next. What matters particularly to me is that contact with the kennel does not end when you take the dog home. If questions come up, you can still count on help and advice.
And Biviana herself? She is lively, spirited and definitely has a mind of her own, but at the same time she is obedient, loved by everyone and knows how to steal your heart. She is developing properly and is simply an exceptional dog for us. With a clear conscience I can recommend the “U Źródła” kennel to anyone looking for a White Swiss Shepherd who cares not only about the dog itself, but also about a responsible breeder, knowledge and a real human connection.

In 2023, I brought home a puppy from U Źródła and I couldn’t be happier. Emilia was incredibly knowledgeable and kind throughout the whole process. This puppy has grown to be successful in many shows, is easy to teach and biddable, and from the best lines that Emilia has chosen carefully with love for this breed. I’m proud to own a dog with her kennel’s name attached to her.
Lynn F., USA
When my husband and I decided to get a dog, I started looking for a kennel. After talking to several breeders and reading many reviews online, our choice fell on Emilia and her U Źródła FCI kennel.
You can count on Emilia at every stage — from talking about the breed and whether it will suit the future owner’s lifestyle, through grooming and health advice, to friendly chats about life with a White Swiss Shepherd. She never leaves her former puppies and their owners to fend for themselves.
After more than a year with our Biago, we are still amazed at how perfectly Emilia matched a puppy to us. Biago is a wonderful member of the family, copes brilliantly in the city and loves spending time with us in every way — from lying on the sofa or the bed, to joining me at university (I study companion animal behaviour), to sports classes.
Besides his absolutely phenomenal character, he also has excellent conformation — every walk out of the house brings “oohs and aahs” from passers-by. 🙂
We warmly recommend this kennel!
Ewa and Oskar Miller (translated)
I wholeheartedly recommend the U Źródła kennel to everyone looking for a White Swiss Shepherd.
The breeder’s professional approach pays off in healthy, stable puppies at collection time. Always open, the breeder supports and shares knowledge and advice with future as well as current puppy owners.
Highly recommended!
Justyna Szeląg-Markuszewska (translated)
We have a 5 year old WSS (White Swiss Shepherd) from Emilia’s kennel. She is friendly, beautiful, smart and strong. She has been healthy, too. Emilia as a breeder has been very honest, active and caring, taking good care of every detail when importing the puppy to Finland.
Pia A., Finland
Looking back over more than seven years, I can say with complete conviction that the “U Źródła” kennel represents the highest level of responsibility and professionalism. Emilia knows the breed inside out, but just as important is her attitude to the dogs themselves. Their welfare always comes first — from protecting the puppies against the risk of disease to a very carefully considered choice of future owners.
At “U Źródła” you do not choose a puppy by its looks. Emilia gets to know the expectations and lifestyle of the future family, observes the puppies’ characters and then points to the dog that will fit best into those circumstances. This approach may surprise you at first, but it shows enormous knowledge, experience and responsibility. It is precisely thanks to it that Milo turned out to be a dog perfectly matched to me.
The support, which does not end when you collect your puppy, is also enormously valuable. Milo was my first shepherd and I had to learn about the breed. Throughout all these years Emilia has always been there with knowledge and practical advice. The “U Źródła” kennel grew out of a true love of White Swiss Shepherds and a deep understanding of this exceptional but demanding breed. I recommend it without the slightest reservation.
P.S. There is a book by Philip Pullman in which people have “dæmons” — animals that reflect the deepest nature of their human. Visible souls, as it were. Emilia found my dæmon. That is magic…
