Pamela Valente

Pamela Valente is a West Highland white terrier breeder in Exeter, NH, covering Rockingham County and the seacoast near Portsmouth. With more than a decade of experience and membership in the American Kennel Club, she adheres to breed standards and relies on OFA clearance for hips, CERF testing for eyes, and cardiac exams.

Each litter is born and raised in a climate controlled nursery adjacent to her home, where puppies gain familiar scents and daily handling. Valente emphasizes early crate training, gentle socialization, and exposure to varied sounds and textures to foster confidence. Her adults live with her family on a small farm with secure fencing, enjoying supervised yard play and quiet downtime indoors.

Dogs from her lines have received strong marks in temperament assessments and community pet days. Recent feedback mentions detailed health records, thoughtful updates, and continued guidance for families integrating a new terrier.
