Hardtack Border Terriers

 Our family has been involved with the sport and hobby of purebred dogs for several decades in one form or another. We have participated in various dog sports, conformation, therapy dogs etc. A tradition of quality genetics, health testing and superlative care, preserves the traits and characteristics that we all know and love. Continuing education, training and competing in a variety of venues, helps us keep an eye on the future. 

Yes, our dogs are much loved pets that enjoy a cozy spoiled home environment. They have also  earned titles and awards in many different dog sports and compete in conformation on occasion. Border Terriers have keen minds and intuitive independent personalities. Ours enjoy mental stimulation almost as much as food! Training classes, kibble puzzles in the living room,  and raising puppies with a specific development protocol are just some of the ways we keep them engaged.  

 In addition to quality food and excellent veterinary care, all of our dogs are screened for a variety of breed specific genetic and health concerns. They have CHIC#s and all test results can be found on the OFA website.

We owe a huge debt of gratitude to Deb Pomeroy of Otley Border Terriers for providing us with Borders that exemplified breed type and temperament. We continue to network and are inspired by many in the Border Terrier community. It is filled with kind, helpful, sharing people. 

Along the way, our extended family has grown! We are truly blessed to have been able to place puppies with wonderful people who appreciate the breed, our dogs and our endeavors to produce healthy, smart, versatile Border Terriers. Our puppies have earned many accolades in the conformation ring, agility, earth dog, rally, scent-work, FCAT, and many other dog sports. One is even a full time hunting retriever during duck season! The best are fun loving dogs that enjoy a close companionship with their owners. None of this would be possible with out the superb owners that trusted us and have the same passion for these little brown dogs that we do!
