Q. & A. with Ara
Why did you start breeding?
In 2010, based on my breeding record and my dedication to healthy Glens, I became one of the first AKC Breeders of Merit in Glen of Imaal Terriers. My steadfast goal in breeding Glens is to maintain the original integrity of this unique breed, and to the best of my ability preserve its genetic diversity, so that new owners can continue to experience the joys of knowing and loving Glen of Imaal Terriers.
What makes your program special?
I am dedicated to breeding healthy Glens, preserving their unique characteristics, and maintaining as much genetic diversity within the breed as possible. I focus on educating owners about the breed and commit to providing advice to our owners as needed for the life of the dog. I am very dedicated to what I do and what I am trying to achieve as a breeder. I work with passion, heart, integrity, and truly want what's best for the Glen of Imaal Terrier line.

Ara was absolutely fantastic coordinating all that I needed to know to have a smooth transition bringing the new puppy home. She was great at keeping me abreast of all the information I need, plus her response was always quick and concise. I am very happy with all the process. She really cares about her Glen's and it shows, she's great!
