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. Our dogs are well-rounded and bred to thrive in the world! It is such an honor to be able to place our beloved puppies in loving homes. We find such joy and fulfillment in responsibly breeding the beautiful Norwegian Buhund.
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.
