Each of our dogs spend time in the house with us as part of our family, however we cannot be with all of them all of the time. In order to ensure they are comfortable, each of our dogs has a heated and insulated house in a 576-square-foot kennel. Our promise to you is that we will do our best in selecting breeding stock of the highest quality with health, temperament, and breed improvement as priorities.
Our goal is to provide excellent family boerboels that are healthy and structurally sound. Family devotion, confidence and trainability are very important attributes we look for when selecting our breeding pairs. We work hard to provide ourselves and our boerboel family with continuing education. Careful measures are taken to be sure our boerboels are placed in the very best homes.
I started showing collies in 2000. I am a member of the Collie Club of America, Collie Health Foundation, and the Mason-Dixon Collie Club. My dogs participate in conformation, herding, and agility. They are also certified therapy dogs and we visit nursing homes.I breed not only for conformation and performance but health and temperament are an important component of my breeding program.
Windermere Kennel started in 1975 with the purchase of an eight-week-old bitch puppy from Ailsa Crawford of Far Hills, New Jersey. Named “Hamilton Sprite”, she quickly taught me what the Jack Russell Terrier was all about.From that beginning, Windermere has grown steadily over the years.I have always strived to keep the emphasis on quality. In our breeding program, I aim to produce terriers with exceptionally good conformation. Finally, I try very hard to keep one other aspect in the forefront of my breeding program; TEMPERAMENT. Perhaps that is what Windermere is best known for.
