Stone House Windsprites
Meet the breeder
I'm Sidney H., the breeder behind Stone House Windsprites located in Nottingham, PA. I am a preservation breeder of Windsprites (a rare breed). Health, temperament, and longevity are priorities. Puppies are born/raised in my home.
Q. & A. with Sidney
Why did you start breeding?
I fell in love with Windsprites, a very rare breed in the early 1990s. There were very few breeders or litters at that time, and wanting to help preserve the breed and broaden knowledge about the breed (they were virtually unknown to the general public), was convinced to breed my first litter in 2008.What makes your program special?
My commitment to raising healthy, well-socialized puppies with great temperaments, as well as athletic ability and correct conformation. I do genetic testing & health screenings on all my breeding dogs and puppies, raise puppies with plenty of enrichment and socialization.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
