NEXT PLANNED BREEDING WILL BE WITH LYRIC THIS COMING FALL/WINTER, 2010!!
We are a a small, family owned kennel located in the foothills of South Carolina. I have been involved in the sport of dogs for 25 years and have titled my dogs in obedience, tracking, hunt tests and conformation. Starting out with German Shorthaired Pointers in the mid-80's, I got my first Border in 1998 and have been hooked ever since!
Our main focus is in the show ring but also earthdog trials, plus, we're starting to dabble a little in obedience. We do strive to own and breed dogs that can be as versatile as the breed is meant to be. A Border Terrier should be able to hunt rats all day, then lie by your feet at night.
All of our dogs are health tested and are raised in an open environment on many acres. There are no kennel dogs here. We have a place for our dogs to run, play, hunt and unleash their full potential.
No breeding stock will be sold to the public and a fenced yard is a must for this breed. If you are considering adding a Border Terrier to your family, PLEASE do your homework and research Border Terriers before making a decision. There is a lot to consider although Borders are everything you might want in a dog, they are terriers after all!!
IF YOU DON'T HAVE A FENCED IN YARD, PLEASE DON'T CALL ABOUT A PRIMROSE BORDER TERRIER PUPPY
A note about Health Clearances: although Border Terriers are a relatively "healthy" breed, the Canine Health Information Center (CHIC) lists four breed requirements as a minimum for health clearances: CERF evaluation (eyes), patellar luxation, hip dysplasia and cardiac evaluation. All Primrose Border Terriers are listed in the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals database as health clearances are completed. This website is: http://www.offa.org. If you are learning about Border Terriers, this database as well as the CHIC database are both good places to research breeders as well as any health issues associated with Border Terriers.
