Kathy’s experience

  • About Kathy

    I’m passionate about the Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier and am excited to responsibly share them with the world! I offer top-quality, loving pups. I have large expectations for the puppies I produce.

  • What makes Kathy’s program special

    I breed healthy, beautiful puppies. I take my job seriously, knowing that my puppies will become someone's beloved pet. Each puppy is considered a member of my family, and I ensure they are socialized, healthy, and prepared to excel in their forever homes. My dogs are bred for those specifics, and I take pride in my breeding program.
