About the Breeder
A little about us
Matt and I are dog lovers. Our dogs are our life!
Why we got involved in breeding
Both Matt and myself knew we wanted a family of dogs as soon as we bought our first property, however we couldn't decide on what size as I always wanted a small dog to snuggle and Matt wanted a larger breed. Matt started searching DogzOnline for a breed that would suit both of us and he came across the Tenterfield Terrier, we weren't sure of the breed as we have never met anyone with Tenterfields so we contacted a breeder in Victoria, Australia - Pam Martin of Tentella Tenterfields and we arranged to go into partnership with her dog Tentella Wundurra. Pam came up for the Tenterfield Terrier Club of QLD Specialty Show in May 2014 and we fell in love with "Wundu" or "Dudey" as we nicknamed him. This began our Dog Show career, from there we have purchased our own bitch Numerrijig Angel I Am "Angel", she was born in February, 2015 and I managed to title her by November 2015, this was an extremely exciting time as I had never shown a dog prior to Wundu. By November 2015 we had already decided we wanted our own boy, so we started searching and in February 2016, Nudimah Mista Frey "Boston came home with us - he was born in December 2015. We had our first litter in November 2016, Angel was an absolutely amazing mother and gave birth to 2 baby girls and a baby boy. We decided to keep one of the baby girls, our first home bred bitch, Dzahhli Fashion N Fame "Prada" she has already had a wonderful show career and keep getting better every weekend, we are so proud of this girl and her upcoming career in the ring :)
Our special touch
We breed for type, temperament and soundness, our dogs enjoy Lure Coursing and Earth Dog Trials. We take pride in the amount of interaction our dogs have - our dogs are our life. We offer lifetime support for all our puppy owners. We have a private Facebook group to keep track of the puppies' progress and their health.
