Joval
THE BEGINNING
Having been in Airedales since 1985, for Valeria it been a life-long love affair with the Airedale breed. John “married into” Airedales. Soon after, the JOVAL Kennel… (JOhn & VALeria)… was formed. It has been a partnership ever since.
In 2015 we added Brussels Griffons to our home and have been in love with these cute little monkeys ever since.
We are members of ABGA, the National Parent Club, National Brussels Griffon Club, Inc. and ATCA & AKC Breeders of Merit.
Valeria Rickard
The Master and Creator
Being a veterinarian, Valeria pays special attention to the health & temperament of every dog in the breeding program and the way every puppy is raised & socialized.
Valeria is also a licensed AKC judge, and occasionally will travel to judge both in the USA as well as internationally.
John Rickard
The Vice Boss 😉
John, with his computer background, takes care of all of the social media – website, FaceBook, etc and also leverages his photographic talents to these and for those puppy-pictures that everyone loves.
Olivia Rickard
The Sweet Boss
A “Special-assistant” to JOVAL is our daughter Olivia – who enjoys playing with her furry brothers & sisters and personally socializing puppies from every litter. She even has found success in the show ring!
