Meet the breeder

I'm Valarie Q., the breeder behind Saddle Creek Kennels located in Sioux Falls, SD. Our dogs are family-raised and bred for versatility, ability, and drive. They are very trainable and make excellent hunters! We breed each litter of puppies with the goal of superior temperament, health, conformation, movement, and the natural ability and drive to hunt and hike.

Q. & A. with Valarie

Why did you start breeding?
We started with Italian Greyhounds and had an excellent experience. Since we hunt and love the outdoors we found the Pudelpointer breed to be quite amazing. Smartest, most loyal and sweetest dogs we’ve ever worked with!
What makes your program special?
We love our litters like our own children! Hip tested, NAVHDA members with field tests for the parents, DNA tests as well as amazing pedigrees
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are liver. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Saddle Creek Kennels were fantastic to work with. Valarie was extremely responsive, and consistently would send pictures and keep us in the loop. They provided great support and preparation, and our puppy is our dream come true. Truly an amazing breed, our puppy is intelligent and loving. Couldn’t thank Saddle Creek Kennels more for this awesome experience!

Valarie is amazing to work with! Great communication. And answered all our questions promptly and sent me videos daily of my little girl. I highly recommend Valarie and her Pudlepointer’s. I would buy another puppy from her anytime. I felt like I was working with a friend.

Saddle Creek Kennels is a reputable breeder and I cannot recommend them enough. The dogs were well taken care of and the breeders were extremely knowledgeable. Valerie answered all of our questions and continued to keep the lines of communication open after we brought our little puppy home.
