Joanne Y.

Breeder of Scottish Terriers

Meet the breeder

I'm Joanne Y., the breeder behind Heartland's located in Stark County, OH. I raise puppies in my home with special care for quality breeding, health, and temperament. I have show and companion puppies. My dogs are bred to produce healthy, sound, and versatile pups. My ultimate goal is to produce athletic and well-structured canines that can excel within various performance venues and have the ability to be the greatest family companions.

Q. & A. with Joanne

  • Why did you start breeding?

    The fulfillment of seeing new puppies born, watching them grow, and helping shape them and train them in preparation for their new forever homes is the most rewarding experience ever! I enjoy every step of the journey.
  • What makes your program special?

    I am very dedicated to what I do and what I aim to achieve as a breeder. I work with passion, heart, and integrity, and I truly want what's best for the Scottish Terrier line. My dogs and puppies are considered members of my family, and they get the best care I can possibly provide.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Parent health testing

Breeder-Reported Testing

Good level

Heartland's reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Scottish Terriers.

  • Patellar Luxation

    Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.

  • von Willebrand Disease III (vWD III)

    Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
