Aspenview Kennels is owned by Troy & Summer Westerbur. We live in the beautiful mountains of Colorado. I am a Health & Life Insurance agent, and work in a family agency with my Mom . Troy works at a military installation as a Civillian Contractor. Summer was born in Colorado, but spent 15 years growing up in South Florida. Troy was also born in Colorado, but grew up in Montana. Both of our families are in Colorado, so we decided to move back here. Aspenview's newest addition is Kade Ashton, born 11-13-07. We try to live a green lifestyle. We heat our house with geothermal heat, and eat as organic as possible. I am also a full-time college student, majoring in English & Communications. Showing and breeding American Staffordshire Terriers is our hobby. In the summers we show and take the dogs boating on the weekends, which they love. In the winters we spend a lot of time at the mountain snowboarding. We got our first showdog (American Pit Bull Terrier) named Misty in 2000, and have been hooked since! Although we love the American Pit Bull Terriers, we only breed American Staffordshire Terriers. We only have a litter once every 1-2 years as we have many other things going on in our lives, as well as the fact that we screen our puppy buyers. Fighting BSL is a big part of our lives, as well as a heavy weight on our shoulders, since we live right in the middle of it all in Colorado. We live an hour from Denver, where they kill APBT every day for no reason. We want to encourage everyone to stand up and fight for your rights to own dogs, as they may soon be taken away, even if you own another breed. We need unity not only with APBTs but every other breed if we are to take on the monster of BSL. We don't breed often, since we don't make a living raising dogs, we usually only breed when we wish to produce a new show prospect for ourselves. Many people don't realize that reputable breeders do NOT make money on their dogs. Even though we charge more than pups in the paper, we have so much more money into them that most of us lose money. We test all of our dogs hearts by a board certified cardiologist and xray their hips for hip dysplasia. We also test for ataxia, and can assure you that all dogs will have at least one ataxia clear parent, so that we never produce an affected offspring. We hope you enjoy our site and our dogs. Thank you for stopping by.
