Meet the breeder
I'm Dustin W., the breeder behind Dragon Shield Terriers located in Yorktown, VA. Dustin Wyatt's passion for terriers originated with the Miniature Schnauzer, where he learned valuable lessons of repetition in order to understand how to successfully train, groom, handstrip, and show Terriers. As he grew older, he expanded his love for Terriers and purchased his first Welsh Terrier. It wasn't long after that, Dustin Wyatt finished the AKC Conformation titles of several owned and/or bred Welsh Terriers and Miniature Schnauzers. His love for the dogs and his interest in health, temperament and conformation is paramount. Each dog sold as a companion are extensively tested for breed specific health defects and through such testing, he has preserved a exceptional healthy line of Welsh Terriers and Miniature Schnauzers. Dustin is a proud member of the Welsh Terrier Club founded in 1886, the American Miniature Schnauzer Club, and the Tidewater Kennel Club. He is very active in the Terrier community and seeks to encourage and support those that have a similar passion in purebred dogs. Aneta Stryczek Wyatt's passion for Terriers originated with the West Highland White Terrier. As a very young girl, her passion for the West Highland White Terrier was extraordinary. She has spent years studying and reviewing breed-specific pedigrees, the breed standard, and breed-specific health issues. Aneta has groomed, bred, and shown West Highland White Terriers in Conformation events for over 15 years. Aneta studies pedigrees extensively and understands both American and European lines. Each dog sold as a companion or shown in AKC Conformation events is a reflection of the breed standard and she is always willing to help educate and assist fellow breeders and/or enthusiasts.
