Q. & A. with Tim
Why did you start breeding?
Purposeful and ethical breeding is so important for the healthy progression of the Border Terrier. I strive to not only produce beautiful puppies and continue my show line, but to help promote responsible breeding in order to ensure that this magnificent breed will continue to thrive for generations more to come.
What makes your program special?
My heavy involvement in the show world speaks to the standards that I breed my dogs by. I do not breed my dogs unless they are fully healthy, happy, and phenomenal representations of the breed standard. I strive for quality and excellence with everything that I do. Holding myself to high standards is paramount to the well-being of my dogs and to the integrity of my program. My beautiful pups are sure to make loving companions for your family for many years to come!
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
