Orchard Hill

Orchard Hill Norfolk terriers, Alexandria, VA, in Northern Virginia near Washington, is run by Rachel Venier and has been breeding Norfolk terriers for several years. Orchard Hill is a family-run kennel with a focus on health and temperament, maintaining national breed club memberships and following recommended health screenings for knees, eyes, and cardiac function.

Puppies spend their early weeks indoors underfoot, gaining daily exposure to household sounds and gentle handling along with supervised puppy play to support social skills. Adults enjoy a spacious indoor suite attached to a secure outdoor run, where they can exercise on soft turf and explore shaded garden paths. Select dogs have participated in therapy visits at local senior centers and small-group obedience events, showcasing calm temperaments and friendly engagement with visitors.

Prospective owners appreciate receiving detailed health records and ongoing breeder support for guidance on nutrition and training.
