Breeder of Border Terriers

Meet the breeder

I'm Deborah P., the breeder behind Otley Border Terriers located in Chino Valley, AZ. Otley Border Terrier was founded in 1986. To date, I have bred 5 BIS and RBIS dogs. Striving for excellence in all of our puppies, both pet and show. I do everything I can to ensure the puppies have everything they need to develop into healthy and happy dogs.

Q. & A. with Deborah

  • Why did you start breeding?

    It was just a natural progression for me. I see the structure and how it affects movement. Breeding a better dog is my passion.
  • What makes your program special?

    I am always educating myself to understand genetics, health issues, structure, and movement. I will never place a show puppy with someone if it isn't a puppy I would put on my lead. I am responsible for my puppies from the day they are born to the day they pass. I am always available to all of my puppy buyers, to answer questions, and share stories.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include grizzle and tan and blue and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
