I'm the breeder behind WyEast Kennels located in Portland, OR. We've been owning and breeding Black and Tan Coonhounds since 1971. We breed well-rounded, happy puppies with a focus on temperament, health, and conformation. We dearly love our dogs and what we do, and we look forward to connecting with you!
Q. & A. with Jim & Kathy
Why did you start breeding?
When we started our breeding program, we were guided by mentors in the breed. We strive to maintain the unique characteristics of the Black and Tan Coonhound while placing an emphasis on producing puppies of superior health and conformation.
What makes your program special?
We have concentrated on the features most important to us: temperament, soundness, and type. Our dogs excel in these traits and others. We take great care with each breeding to ensure we are producing puppies that are excellent representations of the breed. We love what we do and truly want the very best for our puppies and their forever families.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
