ABOVE: Canadian Champion Tondor's True Grit Of Hana-K, AKA: Reuben, our newest 5 lb 5 year old stud. He needs one three point major to earn his AKC champion title, we hope to have added his AKC and International titles by summer '08. After that we may try for a UKC title! the sky is the limit! Thanks Judy for a wonderful dog!! Go to the champion papillons page to view our other champion studs! I've raised dogs in a very small way off and on for over 25 years while holding down several jobs in our local banks, etc.. I quit my job and have been raising Westies for about 9 years. Papillons for about 6. Showing papillons in a small way for over 5 years. We don't show very often, but we do want to raise the best so we show from time to time. Our dogs are all AKC registered and are either AKC, CAN, INT champions, or are champion sired or champion grandsired. Pedigrees emailed upon request. We specialize in smaller then average westies, 10-16 lb range. Our papillons come in all sizes from 3 - 9 lbs grown. We also own three gorgeous quality Norwich Terriers and a neutered Rottweiler. We're having trouble with buyers coming to our home to buy a puppy with a personal check. NOTE: IF YOU COME TO PURCHASE A PUPPY, BRING CASH OR WE WILL SEND YOU TO A LOCAL ATM TO GET CASH! We only accept personal checks when there is time for the check to clear prior to the puppy leaving. GENETIC TESTING: Our dogs have patella's vet checked prior to breeding. Our stud males are all DNA tested in AKC compliance with their frequent sires program. Ace and Rueben have had their eyes, & patellas certified and Ace has had his heart tested. Results were all well within the normal range on all the tests. Any dog found to have a health defect is immediately elimated from our breeding program! There are a few "show" people on the internet claiming that I am breeding dogs throwing defects and that I am a "mass producer". You can listen to vindictive gossip or judge for yourself. I have alot of happy repeat buyers. If my record doesn't speak for itself, so be it. But if you buy from me, be assured, I will abide by the contract/health guarantee on my website. No one has ever been able to say I didn't abide by my contract. I take pride in that and in the fact that I am honest and try to run this business in an ethical manner. I will not retaliate and name names and get into a mud slinging match with these people. I won't stoop to their level. We feed Exceed Chicken & Rice found at Sam's Club, and VF Holistic bought through a dog food distributor. We mix these two half and half. The pups are on Exceed and VF Holistic Puppy. WE ASK THAT VISITORS REFRAIN FROM BRINGING THEIR DOGS WITH THEM WHEN THEY VISIT, IF YOU MUST BRING YOUR DOGS, PLEASE POTTY THEM BEFORE YOU ARRIVE AND THEN CONFINE THEM TO YOUR VEHICLE WHILE YOU ARE HERE.

We live on 30 wooded acres in the Ozark Foothills above the scenic Strawberry River. We're in Northeastern Arkansas within easy driving distance of Little Rock, Springfield MO, Memphis TN, St Louis... We prefer to meet puppy buyers personally so if you can't make it to our kennel, ask us about the possibility of meeting us part way or having us deliver your pup personally. We charge a fee for that service to recoup our expenses and it's often much much cheaper then shipping. We ship using professional pet van transports in the summer and both van and air transports in winter. Air shipping is $270 usually via Delta airlines, van transport is usually around $250, some door to door van services will run a bit higher. Our kennel is a 20x40 building with indoor/outdoor runs on concrete (total size of building and outside runs 40x40), electric heated, fan cooled. Most of our dogs are housed in the kennel except the ones currently showing. OUR GROWN DOGS ARE NOT HOUSED IN CAGES! I prefer to let dogs be dogs and run as much as possible on solid ground. I also let my dogs run loose on our thirty acres quite often when they're not in heat. So most of our dogs will not be in show coats in their pictures on this site. ALL our puppies are born and raised in the house until about four months of age when they're moved to the backyard on pea gravel or moved to the kennel. All expectant mothers are brought into the house at least two weeks prior to delivery and stay in until the puppies are weaned. Because of this, our grown dogs have adjusted very well when retired to pet homes. We give our own shots (using vet recommended Progard 5 by Intervet), at 6, 9, 12 weeks. If your puppy must have shots through a vet, you request that in advance and pay for it yourself. We're not responsible if you want to board your pet and they won't accept anything but vet shot records. Anything over 3 months has a rabies through the vet though.
We're inspected by AKC on a yearly basis, last inspection by John Thomas was 9/5/07, we were again found in complete compliance in all areas.
My "couch potato", S R Windsor's Wild William, "WILLIE", son of CH D And D's Double Action From RR. Almost nine months old in this picture taken 4/22/08. Willie is the future stud for Strawberry River Westies and also hopefully our first westie in the show ring! Thanks Ronnan for a fantastic little guy! He's everything I could have hoped for. He's loving and michevious and so typically all westie boy!
