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. With a focus on drive, temperament, and structure, our breeding program is backed by comprehensive health testing and selection. 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 incorporate medical expertise and a deep understanding of genetics, fertility, and puppy raising to my program. Every breeding is carefully planned with health testing, pedigree analysis, and the breed standard in mind — ensuring each litter carries forward the best qualities of my breeds. 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 stand 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.

Getting a puppy from Tiffany

Tiffany has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.

Tiffany partners with buyers to find the best match as the puppies develop and their personalities take shape. Typically, matches are finalized when the puppies reach about 7 weeks old.

“Puppies from the Halo x Coro litter will be thoughtfully matched to their homes based on individual temperament and structural evaluations at 7 weeks of age. Each puppy will be carefully assessed for confidence, drive, resilience, and overall personality, as well as conformation and movement. This allows me to place each puppy where they are most likely to thrive—whether in performance, the show ring, or as a devoted companion—ensuring the best possible fit for both puppy and family.”

Price

Puppy prices include a $500 non-refundable deposit and between $2,000 - $2,500 final payment, before taxes & fees.

“This price includes first round of vaccines, deworming, microchip, AKC registration, and an invitation to a family who will have your back for your puppy's whole life :). All of our puppies are the same price no matter the color/show quality. We put the same effort and love into each and every one of our puppies. We want to set you and your puppy up for success.”

Contract & health guarantee

Tiffany may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If Tiffany offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don't hesitate to reach out to Tiffany directly.
