About Westgrail

Who We Are

My name is Sara Hensel and I live in Gig Harbor, WA with my husband, Justin, and our beloved 5 dogs and kitty. We are 30-somethings whose lives revolve around our animals. Our evenings and weekends are primarily spent at various trials or practices including scentwork, Barn Hunt, herding, dock diving, agility, showing in AKC conformation or just enjoying our dogs while bikejoring/canihiking or having a Netflix bender.

What We Prioritize 

We understand living in a multi-species home and the importance of harmony. Our dogs live in our home, sleep in our bed, and are our constant companions throughout our work and leisure days. We work to enrich their lives taking into account their individual personalities, interests, and talents. This is what we hope for our puppies, as well. 

It Takes A Village

Breeding does not happen in a vacuum and I'm deeply grateful to my mentors and close friends who continue to help me better my program and stay the path that best aligns with my breeding goals.
