I'm the breeder behind Fan Woods located in Euclid, OH. Our program is built upon a foundation of love, admiration, and respect for the Beagle. We offer top-quality puppies with a versatile, focused program striving to produce dogs that excel in sports and show. Many of our dogs have become excellent show prospects and champions, but all of them have become excellent family dogs and lifelong friends!
About Valerie
My dogs are a passion of mine, and I enjoy spending my life with them. I enjoy participating in conformation shows, rally events, CATS, FCATS, and scent work with my dogs. My 16-year-old Beagle is working on her 4th scent work title, which will be her sixteenth title overall! I show in many venues including the AKC, UKC, IABCA (International Dog Show), and BH (Barn Hunt). I look forward to connecting with you!
What makes Valerie’s program special
Fan Woods is a premier breeder of Beagles. My focus on structure, temperament, and unmatched intelligence is what brings us to the front of the pack. My dogs are fully healthy and genetically tested. Puppies are raised inside my home as part of the family so that I can prepare them to be an exceptional addition to yours! If you are looking for the perfect furry companion or show prospect, look no further!

I follow all appropriate puppy health protocols to ensure happy, healthy puppies.

Valerie offers options to help you easily get your new puppy home.
If you’re nearby, you can visit in person to pick up your pup. If you’re far away, you can travel by car or plane.
“I need to meet the family, including all kids if applicable. I have family come here, but I also have delivered puppies to their family's home. We can also meet halfway for delivery. I have new families provide me with a t-shirt they have slept with for the pups to get to know them by smell, and it goes home with pup.”
Why Valerie started breeding
My dad bred and hunted with his Beagles, so I grew up with Hounds and absolutely love them. My kennel name, Fan Woods, was my dad's kennel name, and I inherited it when he retired. It is an honor to represent this breed and create opportunities for others to experience the same joy that I've found in raising these wonderful dogs.
