Q. & A. with Valerie
Why did you start breeding?
It is important to me that I not only continue my own phenomenal show lines, but that I am improving this breed with each litter and ensuring the well-being of these dogs for generations more to come! It is such an honor to preserve the line of these incredible dogs all the while creating companionship for others.What makes your program special?
I am a proud breeder of West Highland White Terriers and am so excited to share my love of them with those who appreciate them just as much as I do! My heavy involvement in the show world speaks to the standards that I breed my dogs by. I will always stand behind my puppies and focus closely on family temperament, personality, health, and show quality. Every breeding decision is made accordingly. While many of my dogs have made exceptional show prospects, all of them have become excellent family dogs and lifelong friends!Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
