About Kimberly
I have been showing and breeding dogs for over 35 years. My first show dogs were Giant Schnauzers. Then I needed a smaller dog that could get along with the Giants to do Therapy work. The only choice was the fabulous Border Terrier!! I have shown and bred Borders for over 10 years. With the Giant program ended due to a shoulder and knee problem on my end, I have chosen the Basset Fauve de Bretagne as my new breed, as they have the same temperment as the Border and are just as lovable. I work hard to raise healthy, happy dogs, and to always improve the breed.
What makes Kimberly’s program special
I have happy, confident dogs. Some of the puppies I have sold have many titles before and after their names, making them well rounded dogs, game for whatever their owner asks.
Kimberly is a member of 3 clubs
Working Dog Club of Arizona, Giant Schnauzer Club of America, Border Terrier Club of America
