I'm RoseMarie Y., the breeder behind Joyful Willow Farm Huskies located in Glen Allen, VA. A small-quantity, high-quality breeder, raising our dogs as a family.
We raise one litter a year. Our dogs live in our home and backyard, instead of kennels.
Our puppies socialize with family, kids, and friends often so they are friendly and ready with the best temperaments to join your family.
Q. & A. with RoseMarie
Why did you start breeding?
We adopted Coco in 2018, and we fell in love. We love her talkative nature, her zoomies full of energy, and her sweet disposition to friends, family, and strangers.
We were amazed at her sweet gentle temperament, and we decided to make sure her personality lived on in the breed.
We have had so much fun and learning ever since, and Coco is now the sweetest mama dog (dam) ever.
What makes your program special?
We raise AKC Siberian Huskies to be the best family dogs ever. We are not a large breeding operation with kennels of under-socialized dogs. We make sure each of our puppies is snuggled, loved, and well-socialized before they join your family.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include gray and white, black and white, agouti and white, and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
