Meet the breeder
I'm Mary K., the breeder behind Koontz Family Wheatens located in Rustburg, VA. We love this affectionate and playful breed, and we think you will too!
Q. & A. with Mary
Why did you start breeding?
We decided to start breeding to share the best possible puppies with excellent personalities, temperament, and most of all health! Our love for our dogs pushed us to begin breeding. We love to see the results of our efforts in the sweet, happy, and healthy puppies that we’re able to share with others.What makes your program special?
The puppies are from AKC Registered parents and can also be registered with the AKC. They will be dewormed, have their first vaccines, declaws removed, and tails docked. Our puppies are raised in our home, with our three children; their mama, Miss Daisy; and the sweetest 5-year-old lab, Nora, lending a hand! They are so loved, and will be well-socialized!What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are wheaten. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
