Prefix : OTTADALE (Border Terrier)

Over 26 years ago, I discovered the wonderful Border Terrier (BT). I quickly realised this wee dog was full of personality, a joy to share life with, and well suited to my favourite sport - dog agility.
My first BT, Tamalee, lived to 17½ years, she passed on 21 January 2021. While she didn’t love agility quite as much as I had hoped, my BT's that followed certainly do.
My second BT was Kenzy, an exceptional girl. We were a wonderful agility team, and losing her tragically in 2016 is a loss I still struggle with every day. Kenzy is the reason I decided to breed - she had so many outstanding qualities, most importantly being her ability to produce sound, healthy, happy puppies and to love me unconditionally. Kenzy’s daughter, Piper, has continued that legacy, producing the same type of puppies.
The BT is a true all-rounder: a devoted family member, a capable working dog, and a quick learner. They are busy, cheeky at times (they are Terriers!), but do love cuddles and happy to be lap dogs. Piper retired around 2022, Tweed Star, Isla, and WonderFul all currently compete with me in agility. In January 2025, we welcomed Patterdale Lady Edith AK, known as “Magic,” now we have 5. My hope is that Magic will be my next agility dog.
Check my website for more information & photos, of my BT family & extended BT family. If you are looking to own a BT with these attributes, puppies may be available from time to time. Feel free to contact me - I am always happy to answer questions.
