Meet the breeder

I'm DinaMarie S., the breeder behind West Winds American Pit Bull Terriers located in Tenino, WA. West Winds APBTs is a small, family-run kennel in Tenino, WA. After 30+ years of breeding and showing APBTs, we returned in 2023 with Mia from Bartin Kennels. In one year, she earned 11 titles, 7 Total Dog awards, 2 BIMBS, 2 Group 1s, a Brick Award, and UKC National Specialty honors.

Q. & A. with DinaMarie

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My breeding journey began after owning and showing a top-winning UKC dog, which set the high standard I follow today. Before producing a litter, I spent five years studying pedigrees, structure, health, temperament, and performance. That foundation of research and hands-on experience guides every breeding decision I make.
  • What makes your program special?

    At West Winds APBTs, we’re committed to quality and integrity. Every dog is fully health tested and titled in conformation, working, and performance events. We believe APBTs should be versatile, sound, and driven. If a dog can’t compete—and win—at the top level, it isn’t part of our breeding program.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include seal brown, red brindle, fawn sable, fawn brindle, fawn, brown brindle, brown, blue brindle, blue, blue fawn brindle, blue fawn, black brindle, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    What can I say— this whole process was exactly what you hope to experience when choosing a furry family member. Dina was amazing and so accommodating from start to finish. She was so knowledgeable with all of the information she shared and responsive any time I had a question to ask her. She even invited us to attend the dog show where her and her daughter competes their beautiful dogs. What a great journey this has been, and we couldn’t be happier with the puppy we received. Thanks for everything Dina!

    My experience with Dina was exceptional. She is knowledgeable, transparent, and incredibly dedicated to raising healthy, happy puppies. The communication throughout the process was outstanding, and it was clear how much love and care she puts into her dogs, and puppies. Our puppy is beautiful, well-socialized, and everything we could have hoped for. We highly recommend Dina to anyone looking for a responsible and reputable breeder.

    DinaMarie was absolutely fantastic every step of the way, and I cannot recommend West Winds strongly enough if you are looking for a pup. Our little girl is so sweet and chill with people and other animals. She’s clearly been very well socialized. She’s just beautiful and very healthy. We feel very lucky to have found her, thank you DinaMarie!
