I'm Sarah W., the breeder behind Wormy Hounds located in Seymour, MO. All of our dogs are loved as family members. We cherish our puppies from birth up until they leave our arms to snuggle into yours! We are a small, in-home breeding program where we prioritize giving each dog and puppy the best care that we can. We cherish all of our animals and enjoy sharing the love of this breed with other individuals and families!
Q. & A. with Sarah
Why did you start breeding?
Just seeing how wonderful Buster and Gabby were together, we had to let them have babies so we could share them with the world 🌎
What makes your program special?
We only have 2 dogs that we breed and they're our fur babies. They live in our house and sleep in our bed, they go on vacations with us and are a part of the family. Their babies live in a playpen in our living room. We're not breeders, we're a family.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
