Meet the breeder
I'm Jacob W., the breeder behind Valjalu’s Minianture Pinschers located in Claypool, IN. My brother Luke and I are relatively new to breeding. We are blessed to work with mentors who have 40+ yrs breeding exp. and we also have our family’s support. I’ve shown 3 AKC number 1 min pins from some of the top lines in the last 6 yrs. Temperament, health, and quality are most important to us.
Q. & A. with Jacob
Why did you start breeding?
First, by falling in love with the breed when I was 6. Our mentor, Joan Krumm, helped us inspire our love for the breed and gave us our first min pins. We have become great friends through these wonderful dogs. She still helps us to this day.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red and black and rust. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
