Q. & A. with Dawn

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I began breeding dogs in my late teens and purchased my first Scottish Terrier in 1994 in Kalispell, Montana. During the 90’s my sister and I became Foutche Kennels , we raised Fila Brasilareos, which we imported from Brasil and shipped worldwide wide. I eventually faded out of the mastiffs to concentrate on my terriers. I have a lifetime of experience in training breeding and raising dogs
  • What makes your program special?

    Our puppies are raised in a family farm environment, with exposure to many different farm animals and children of all ages!
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our Scottish Terrier puppies include black brindle, wheaten, silver brindle, brindle, and black. Irish Terrier puppies are red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Excellent experience overall with Dawn of Avonlea Terriers. Our longtime family friend had just gotten a pup from Dawn and we fell in love with him. He mentioned that there were probably some littermates available so we immediately looked into it. The initial contact, and the continued responsiveness was very accessible. Dawn was prompt in answering all of our questions as well as asking questions about our lifestyle to make sure we would match with such an active type pup. We did get all of her vet records and she had a final check up before we took her over. So we knew she was healthy and ready for her new home. So we ended up with a very well socialized 14week old that already had a wonderful grasp with being on lead and sleeping in a kennel at night as it was clear she had been routinely exposed to various environments living on farmland, with family, and other animals. So if you are looking for an Irish Terrier to enrich your life, you are in the right place!
