I have been breeding WORKING Borders off and on for about 30 years. The kennel building has an office,bathroom and two other heated rooms for whelping and other various things.It sets on a hill surrounded by trees and is very shady and cool in the summer.The pens are concrete and cleaned daily.Pups are socialized but not whelped in my house under my bed We raise HUNTING DOGS in the KENNEL. Most of our pups do go to pet homes ..but HUNTING dogs are what Im into.

PLEASE think about this....Dogs do not want to be your surrogate infant.They do not need to be dressed up in clothes and rocked to sleep..they want to be your hunting companion...your packmate..dogs are animals...they dont want to be your kid.Just MY thoughts.

One of my main concerns is... WHAT WILL BECOME OF THIS WONDERFUL TERRIER IF SHOWING REMAINS THE MAIN GOAL FOR BORDER BREEDERS IN THIS COUNTRY?Think about it ...seems the FIRST thing you hear is how many ribbons and points they have won...Lets keep them out in the field WORKING ,playing and being healthly,happy dogs. They(THE DOGS) dont care one thing about  Showrings,ribbons & points.Ribbons & Points only help to boost peoples egos!
