I'm Else T., the breeder behind Trollheimen Kennel located in Wrightstown, NJ. We offer top quality pets with a focus on health and temperament.

Q. & A. with Else
Why did you start breeding?
I got my first Buhund in 1995. I am originally from Norway so I have imported many dogs from Norway and Sweden. I make sure I am working with a healthy gene pool in order to produce top-quality pups. I have between two and three litters a year. My dogs have competed in Confirmation shows and we have done really well. A lot of the puppies I have sold are competing in other AKC venues. I feel very fortunate to be involved with this amazing breed. It is so fulfilling to connect buyers with their new puppies.What makes your program special?
I am very honest with myself, and others. I strive to breed the best of the best and offer full transparency to all of my puppy buyers. I want all of my adopting families to have a positive, professional experience in purchasing their new beloved furry companion!Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
