Above all else, our goal is to create the healthiest and most mentally sound dogs possible. We are not a major kennel, and any dogs that come through our home are treated like family members. We only plan to breed every few years.

A lot goes into deciding to add more dogs to the world, especially in the US, where there are major overpopulation problems. In fact, before owning our first Swedish Vallhund, Pepper, we only owned rescue dogs.

But rescue dogs aren’t for everyone. You never know what health problems or behavioral problems a dog may have, and for many households, that simply isn’t compatible. Many people can’t manage a reactive dog or need a safe dog around their other pets.

So when we got Pepper, our goal was to pick a breed with a great reputation for being both people and dog friendly, with a drive that would suit our high-intensity lifestyle (but still can sit back and relax with us) and had proven longevity.

Swedish Vallhunds are some of the most charismatic, talented, and fun dogs around and boast very few health issues compared to many other purebred dogs. Our mission is to ensure the breed’s longevity while also giving the life-changing experience of an excellent dog to people who want it.
