Q. & A. with Shaun
What makes your program special?
What makes our breeding program special is that our dogs are part of our family, not just our program. We focus on temperament, health, and early socialization so our puppies grow into calm, loving, and well-adjusted companions. Every puppy is raised in our home with hands-on care, attention, and love, giving them a strong foundation before they ever go to their new family.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Parent dogs
Kona, mom
Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier
About Kona
Kona is Piper’s mom, and it’s easy to see the resemblance. She’s very similar in size, looks, and temperament, with that same sweet Wheaten charm and expressive presence. Kona has a gentle, loving nature and a calm confidence that makes her a joy to be around. She enjoys being active and getting outside, but she’s just as happy settling in and staying close to her people. Kona has a steady, affectionate way about her. She doesn’t need to be the center of attention to feel content. Being near, sharing space, and offering quiet companionship is more than enough for her.
Piper, mom
Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier
About Piper
Piper is our little lovable girl with a happy, adventurous spirit. She has more energy than Max and absolutely lives for being outside. Walks, runs, hikes—if it gets her moving and exploring, she’s all in. She lights up the moment it’s time to head out the door. That said, Piper knows how to slow down too. After a day of activity, she’s more than ready to snuggle up and soak in some close attention. She loves curling up with us while we watch TV or just sit together on the couch. While she’s higher energy than Max, what she really wants most is to be with her people, wherever that may be.
Max, dad
Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier
About Max
Max is a calm, lovable soft coated Wheaten with a gentle presence that puts everyone at ease. He has long, silky hair that’s as soft as it looks, and he carries himself with an easy, relaxed charm. Max loves to cuddle and is happiest curled up close, soaking in affection. He’s the kind of dog who doesn’t demand attention but quietly earns it, offering warmth, comfort, and steady companionship just by being near.
