Meet the breeder
I'm Rhonda M., the breeder behind Gemstones Border Terriers located in Ceres, CA. My dogs are raised in a family environment. All have OFA health clearances. I show my dogs and do many performance events as well. My ultimate goal is to produce athletic and well-structured canines that can excel within various performance venues and have the ability to be the greatest family companions. I know the health and status of every dog I have bred and am proud of the temperament and conformation of my puppies. I love matching healthy, happy puppies with loving families.
Q. & A. with Rhonda
Why did you start breeding?
I believe that if you commit to producing dogs of sound structure and take care of their minds and bodies, your pups will grow up to be happy, healthy, and beautiful. I am proud to raise these wonderful dogs and always commit to maintaining the highest quality standards for my program.What makes your program special?
My dogs and puppies are considered members of my family, and they get the best care I can provide. My commitment is to provide you with a professional and friendly puppy-buying experience. That includes always having responsible practices for breeding, training, and rehoming my puppies. I am very dedicated to what I do and what I aim to achieve as a breeder. I work with passion, heart, and integrity, and I truly want what's best for the Border Terrier line.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
