(September of 2024, Westhaven relocated to the beautiful Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. Check back often for updates, new info and photos.)
WESTHAVEN IS A SMALL SAINT BERNARD SHOW KENNEL LOCATED IN VIRGINIA (USA). SUSAN IS NOT NEW TO SAINTS - HAVING EXHIBITED AND BRED SINCE 1983 (WITH OVER 50 AKC CHAMPIONS SO FAR).
THE WESTHAVEN LINE IS PRIMARILY A WESTERN LINE. EVERY BREEDING I DO HAS SPECIFIC IMPROVEMENTS IN MIND. IN ORDER OF IMPORTANCE, I BREED FOR - TEMPERAMENT, PHYSICAL SOUNDNESS, AND SHOW POTENTIAL.
I BREED FOR QUALITY, NOT QUANTITY. I DO OCCASIONALLY HAVE PUPPIES AVAILABLE TO WELL SCREENED BUYERS.QUESTIONS ABOUT MY SAINTS OR SAINTS IN GENERAL ARE ALWAYS WELCOME.
