Welcome
We are a small 3rd Generation Kennel in South Carolina. This was a Family project that started from 2 Lhasa Apso and has now expanded to become a love of our life. We are located in South Carolina in a town called Ridgeville which is NW of Charleston. We started raising Lhasa Apso’s about 26 years ago and have been breeding PureBreed AKC Registered Dogs.
All of our Lhasa Apso’s we raise, are considered part of our family, and our pets. We raise quality, purebred Lhasa Apso’s with pedigrees available. All of our animals live in a extremely clean environment and receive loads of love and exceptional care each day. We Breed well tempered Lhasa Apso’s which helps assure that they will have affectionate and good-tempered puppies, whether sold for show, breeding, or companionship. We always give our females a proper, long, and well-deserved period of rest before breeding them again. We specialize in breeding quality pedigreed Lhasa Apso’s in many colors, now including:
Black (Solid Black)
Golden (Pale gold to wheaten)
Grizzle (Bluish-gray or iron gray color due to an admixture of black and white hairs) Red grizzle (Admixture of black and red hairs)
Red Gold (Dark apricot to light red)
Party(Black and White)
Cream (Almost white to darker shades of cream)Party(Black and White)
Red (Solid red with shades of Viszla red to Irish Setter red)
We are working on the following colors:
Alternate Colors
Gray (Light charcoal or blue or grizzle)
Silver (Admixture of cream and black, charcoal or gray; i.e. cream sable or cream grizzle)
Liver (or brown or chocolate–deep reddish brown with self-colored liver skin pigment)
Charcoal (Dark slate gray; i.e. faded black)
Blue (A dilution of black, either light of dark blue gray with self-colored blue skin pigment)
Please learn all you can about any breed that you plan to purchase before buying. We want our puppies to go to informed homes so that they get the best of care that we provide them with here, and have all of their needs met. This also includes excellent grooming, regular nail trimming and proper diet. If you are looking for Lhasa Apso’s to purchase, check our “Lhasa Apso’s For Sale” page.
Please check back often, as we will be updating frequently and making changes. Thank You

My name is Laura Short and my love for the Beagle breed began
with my first Beagle in 1992, “Baby”.
I have been in love with the Beagle breed ever since.
I have been breeding purebred AKC registered Beagles since 2002.
I only raise Beagles.
My Beagle Puppies are Hand Raised in my Home, Handled Daily from Birth, and Family Socialized with Adults, Children, other Dogs, and Cats. They are well acclimated to the sights and sounds of a home.
I breed my Beagles as a hobby and for the preservation
of the Beagle breed.
The most important thing to us is that our dogs are well taken care of and loved. If a Scottie isn’t the right breed for your home, no worries. We breed for ourselves, but not every puppy in a litter may display show and breeding potential, but they all need to be loved dearly. And sometimes they all show potential, but we understand that some homes may not be interested in showing. Also, we have two breeding programs to maintain – Bravo Scottish Terriers and La Chanson Bouviers.
Dreampet Kennel is a family ran kennel located on 10 acres in a small town of the upstate of South Carolina.
Our breeding program is based on improving and maintaining healthy, intelligent Bostons. We adhere to the American Kennel Club and the breed standard of Boston Terriers for correct conformation and breeder ethics. Although, there are no “absolute perfect” specimens of any breed, we think ours are very close and are selective with the Bostons we breed. We would not breed anything unless the potential is there for excellence. Only mature, healthy, examples of the breed are used in our breeding program.
Our experiences with Shiba Inu began in the early 1980’s before they were a recognized AKC breed. We bred and owned the winner of the first Shiba National Club Specialty, a black and tan dog – NSCA Ch.Mokjusei Takeshi of Mokuseiso (AKA Sam). Ch.Frerose Black Eyed Susan was the First Shiba Inu in Canada to earn her Championship and was also the No.2 Shiba in Canada from the classes. We also bred and owned the first Male Canadian Champion Shiba Inu, Ch.Frerose Alfmeister, before AKC recognition. We bred the #1 American Bred Shiba for the first two years after AKC recognition. Ch.Frerose Tika Bear, 1993 – 1994 and we bred and owned the #1 Shiba from 1995-1999, Ch.Frerose Otomi, who is also the No.2 top winning shiba of all time. When Tomi retired, Ch.Frerose Big Oliver took over as No.1 from 2000-2003. Oliver earned his international Championship with 2 Group Ones and a Group Two. When Oliver retired, Ch.Frerose Good Will Hunter carried on in Frerose tradition by earning the title of No.1 Shiba Inu from 2004-2008 when he also retired. Hunter is the top winning Shiba Inu of all time. He finished his Canadian Championship with 5 group placements and No.3 Shiba for the year in Canada from the classes. We also imported the producer of three No.1 dogs – Otomi, Oliver and Rhondo as well as bred and owned their Dam, NSCA Ch.Frerose Punkin Pie, top producing bitch of all time. Both are Specialty Show winners. During our time in Shibas we have earned wins at Westminster K.C., the Eukanuba Invitational, as well as various Specialty Shows too numerous to name.
We just love our Soft Coated Wheaten Terriers! We are hobby breeders, producing only a couple of litters per year. Each litter is showered with tons of TLC by myself, as well as my children and family members. Pups are healthy, happy, playful, affectionate & eager to please their new owners when they leave us!
