Meet the breeder
I'm Jennifer V., the breeder behind Van Winkle Family Pets located in Winston Salem, NC. We strive to provide people with wonderful family pets who fit their lifestyle. We have loved raising pups.

Q. & A. with Jennifer
Why did you start breeding?
From my childhood dog's first litter to my grandmother breeding Aussies and watching the whole process, I just have always been drawn to the magic of birth and puppyhood. My first hands on experience with breeding was with my Redbone Coonhound September.What makes your program special?
Being homeschoolers, our pups are around our kids all day, get plenty of handling, lots of fresh air and outside playtime when they are old enough. They get lots of love and cuddles daily 🥰What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include buff and white, black white and tan, and black and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
