I'm Bobbie K., the breeder behind BearFoot Border Terriers located in Evergreen, CO. We work hard to produce the "whole" Border Terrier - equal parts structural soundness, health and temperament. Since we breed very few litters, we are selective in which dogs we breed and who gets our pups. We put intensive time and energy into socializing and "bullet-proofing" our pups, and we’re proud of the seamless transition they are able to make as fun, lovable family members. We maintain connections with our puppy owners and are ready to help through the pup's lifetime. There is much more we can share with you, and much more we would like to know about you, if you would like to start a conversation.

Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)
Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.
Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)
Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.
Patellar Luxation
Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.
Spongiform Leukoencephalomyelopathy (SLEM)
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
