Meet the breeder

I'm Garoleen W., the breeder behind Wilsong Kennel located in Smith Center, KS. We health test beyond breed club recommendations, results are publicly available on OFA.org. Our dogs are our pets first, then show dogs, then breeding. We take pride in preparing these puppies to make a smooth transition to their new home. I post frequent photos and videos as the litter grows.

Q. & A. with Garoleen

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We adopted a retired Champion (coated) AHT from a local breeder as a pet for my husband. We fell in love with the breed. 7 years later I got a hairless AHT and enjoy competing in shows and dog sports. Breeding an occasional litter lets me bring joy to other people with these wonderful dogs. I'm very proud that my breeding program is designated as an AKC BREEDER OF MERIT.
  • What makes your program special?

    Our puppies are raised with an enrichment program to help them develop into all they can be and prepare them to transition to their new homes quickly. We temperament test puppies to match each to homes waiting. Individual puppies may be more suited to particular home. We look at energy level, response to stimuli, independence & connectivity to people when making a match.
  • What are the different breed coat types in your program?

    Our American Hairless Terrier puppies include coated and hairless coat varieties. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Breeder-Reported Testing

Excellent level

Wilsong Kennel reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for American Hairless Terriers.

  • Hip Dysplasia

    Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.

  • Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)

    Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.

  • Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)

    Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.

  • Patellar Luxation

    Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.

  • Serum Bile Acid Test, Dentition, Congenital Deafness (BAER, registered with OFA)

    A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.

  • Full Embark Panel

    Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).

    Garoleen was excellent to work with. She has great communication, and made our puppy adoption seamless and stress free.

  • Mandi C.

    Verified owner · Feb. 2024

    I had a very smooth and stress-free experience with Wilsong and Garoleen! She kept me in the loop with updates and photos the whole way and was flexible with pickup arrangements given the long distance between our locations. I couldn't be happier with my little hairless boy!
