Q. & A. with Jill
Why did you start breeding?
We wanted to do our part to better the breed. Our breeding program strives to maintain the unique characteristics of the Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier while placing an emphasis on producing puppies of superior health, temperament, and conformation.
What makes your program special?
We take great care with each breeding to ensure we are producing puppies that are excellent representations of the breed. The health and temperament of our puppies are our number one priority. We are very conscious about who purchases our puppies, always ensuring that they are given the best life possible. Our commitment is to provide you with a professional and friendly puppy-buying experience; and that includes always having responsible practices when it comes to breeding, training, and rehoming our puppies.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
