Breeder Philosophy

How we breed — and why.

Why this breed

Preserving purebred dogs is my passion, there nothing like a well bred dog, watching hours of researching pedigrees come to life is so special. This breed fell into my lap and a well bred wheaten is truly the best family dog. Medium energy independent but also willing to work with you if you have something to offer.

What sets us apart

I don’t know if my program different but I just strive to create the kind of dog I want to live and work with. I want to show how diverse this breed is, it’s a vulnerable breed in its native Ireland and the numbers aren’t so hot here in Canada and the USA so any breed advocacies I can do I will

Homes we look for

Ideal home is a family that understand the terrier attitude or are willing to learn how to work with it. Medium engery dogs that are as happy as hiking as staying on the couch. Fenced yard is not a must but must keep dog on leash. A family that ready for a 12 year + commitment

Program notes

Puppies are born in my bedroom then around 3 to 4 weeks they transfer to a giant pen in the living room and they get time to free roam the house as well under supervision. My puppies are exposed to all kinds of noise the minute their ears open including playing Spotify sound playlist, they get experience in grooming and every day life. Also they are pee pad and litter box trained
