Thunder Winds

Josh N.

Breeder of Irish Terriers

Meet the breeder

I'm Josh N., the breeder behind Thunder Winds located in Lake Station, IN. I breed pure breed Irish Terriers. I follow the breed standards that was set forth. I put no label on a pup such as show dog quality. Any dog can be a show dog, unless it has a fault, then that dog is not sold it is placed in a loving home as a gift. As for the rest, they have full registration. If you want to show or do performance, I will guide you and help you in any way I can.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
