Meet the breeder
I'm Tiffany H., the breeder behind Velaris located in Franklinville, NJ. We are dedicated to preserving the unique qualities of our breeds.

We are involved in the show community, with multiple AKC CH and participation in performance events.
Q. & A. with Tiffany
Why did you start breeding?
I got Kona, my first well bred purebred, in 2022 and we hit the ground running with AKC. I put well over 15 back and front end titles on her including her AKC CH and GCH. I wanted to continue the legacy of beautiful well bred purebreds and encourage others to get into AKC sports.What makes your program special?
With a professional background as a veterinary technician specializing in reproduction, I like to incorporate medical expertise and a deep understanding of genetics, fertility, and whelping to my program. Every breeding is carefully planned with health testing, pedigree study, and breed standard in mind — ensuring each litter carries forward the best qualities of Mudi and Icelandic Sheepdog. But it's about more than just producing healthy, sound dogs. It’s about raising puppies with the right foundation — from early socialization and enrichment to exposing them to experiences that prepare them for success in family homes, the show ring, or performance sports. My dedication doesn’t end when puppies leave; I provide lifelong support to owners and stands by every dog bred under the Velaris name. What truly sets my program apart is the combination of heart and professionalism — a commitment to preserving rare breeds while honoring the trust that new families place in every puppy they welcome home.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Mudi puppies include black merle and black. Icelandic Sheepdog puppies are sable and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
