It’s an exciting announcement people! We are so pumped to include another family into our Petland breeders program!
Where our puppies come from is just as important to us as where they’re going. And just like we have our puppies going to loving, furrrr-ever homes, that’s where we’re getting them! Our Petland breeders are some of the best in the country and we’re proud of each and every person we work with. Petland’s name has long been associated with high standards of care and animal husbandry, not only in our store, but at the source as well. We know that when you come into our store, you expect to find happy, healthy pets from places that have been thoroughly inspected and we respect that. So, when we hear, “Where does Petland get their puppies from?” we can give you the best kind of answer!
Drumroll please! Here is Vernon Troyer and his pride and joy, Shadow Valley Kennels!

Continuing education is the name of the game

This program is instrumental in keeping breeders up-to-date on all the best kennel practices, genetic research and increasing animal husbandry standards.

This focus really shows in his beautiful outdoor socialization and play yard, meant for both the adult dogs and puppies alike!
