Meet your Breeder – Sarah Lowe
Where Love, Loyalty, and Legacy Begin
Welcome to Shaneca — a home, a heart, and a haven for the spirited and affectionate Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier. Nestled in the peaceful suburb of Narre Warren, Victoria, Shaneca is more than just a kennel — it’s a lifelong dream brought to life by breeder Sarah Lowe, and a celebration of everything that makes Wheatens the joyful companions we know and love.
A Passion
Born from Paw Prints
Behind every wagging tail at Shaneca is Sarah Lowe — breeder, mentor, and most importantly, dog lover. Her journey began over a decade ago with a single Wheaten and a heart full of admiration. From those early days, Sarah committed herself to learning everything about the breed — from temperament and genetics to training and conformation.
With over 12 years of hands-on experience, Sarah’s dedication has blossomed into a well-respected breeding program under the prefix “Shaneca,” proudly registered with DOGS Victoria (Source Number: RB100103). Her Wheatens have graced the show ring, won ribbons, and most importantly, curled up in the laps of families across Australia.
About
Breeding with Heart, Not Just Standards
At Shaneca, breeding is more than a process — it’s a calling. Each litter is planned with intention, care, and a deep love for the breed. Sarah’s philosophy is simple: raise dogs who are as emotionally sound as they are physically healthy. Her puppies grow up in a nurturing environment filled with play, gentle handling, and early socialization, giving them the best possible start in life.
Health testing is non-negotiable, and quality always comes before quantity. The goal? To raise Wheatens who are intelligent, affectionate, well-balanced, and ready to bring light into the lives of their forever families.
Our Story: From First Bark to Forever Legacy
Founded in 2012, Shaneca began with a dream to raise beautiful Wheatens who not only meet breed standards but exceed expectations as lifelong companions. Over the years, the kennel has become known for its honest ethics, loving puppies, and ongoing support for new owners.
Every dog here is part of the family — and every family that joins the Shaneca circle becomes part of our story. Whether you’re looking for a show prospect or a snuggly couch buddy, Shaneca is where that story can begin.
At Shaneca, we don’t just raise dogs — we raise joy, laughter, and unconditional love.
Come say hello — we’d love to introduce you to the world of Wheatens. 🐶💕
