About Von Edelweiss
Biewer Terrier Breeder

Von Edelweiss isn't a kennel in the usual sense of the word. What we are is simply a home that appreciates and loves this breed; I love to show my Biewers, and I greatly desire to contribute to the improvement of the breed.

My Biewer Terrier puppies are raised in our home with our pets and show dogs. I never breed for quantity, and I do not live off sales from puppies, which I believe helps me make better decisions and prevents me from breeding to produce more puppies for monetary gain. I own a home-based business that I've been running for the past 20 years.  Any finances obtained form my puppies are put into the costly showing of my dogs, health testing, veterinary visits, professional handlers, food, vaccinations, etc., etc.

I focus on healthy puppies with superior structural quality, a beautiful coat, balanced movement, a proper head piece, tail set, ear set, a straight back, and a good bite. All the qualities I myself would look for in a puppy.

At Edelweiss Biewer Terriers, I ensure that the Biewers that are bred are the best in health, temperament, soundness, and observance of the AKC breed standard. Whether you're looking for your first conformation show dog, a sporting dog or a performance pup, or simply your next furry family member pet; my goal is to strive for the closest development to the written standard. Our Biewer Terriers are family first. When they are not actively showing in the conformation ring, our dogs can be found romping in the backyard with each other and our teenager, or cuddling on the couch.

Growing Healthy Puppies Starts With Maintaining Healthy Parents!

Our breeding dogs have regular annual check-ups and pre-breeding check-ups to assure they're in excellent health to have a litter of puppies and or breed. Our breedings may involve multiple trips to our veterinarian for our females. These visits may comprise of multiple services including progesterone testing several times to determine the optimum breeding days and an ultrasound to confirm pregnancy, and an x-ray for puppy counts, post-breeding.

My breeding adults in the Von Edelweiss Biewer Terrier program go through extensive health testing and thorough pedigree research. They have passed their health exams, have had their eyes checked by a certified ophthalmologist, and have had their patellas evaluated. They are genetically tested for over 203 diseases via EmbarkVet.com to ensure the excellent health of all puppies.

Puppy Enrichment

Puppies will live in a puppy-enriched environment that includes providing mental stimulation, physical challenges, noise desensitization, social skills with different people, and more.

Puppies will be evaluated after 8 weeks as show potential puppies and those who will go to pet homes. About 2 -4 weeks after this, we will contact interested parties that we believe are a good match with individual puppies, taking into consideration the puppy's personality, and what the buyer's goal is for their newest family member.

Puppies go home between 12-14 weeks of age. Our sweet Biewer Terrier puppies will come with up-to-date vaccinations, be microchipped and will be dewormed if testing positive. They will have been examined by our veterinarian prior to leaving for their new homes with a clean bill of health to ensure they will bring you years of joy.

Although we are located in San Diego, we can arrange to meet you if you're in Northern California or Los Angeles. Our puppies have found amazing loving homes in other parts of the country as well, including Arizona, Washington, and Oregon as well as Canada. We can also connect you with a flight nanny to fly with your Biewer Terrier puppy directly to you. Whether you live in Texas, Colorado, Arizona, or even Florida.
