We have bred Pointers for 40 years, and Border Terriers for 20+ years, living in rural Canterbury N.Z. Pointers hold a special place in our hearts, but Lyn always wanted a 'country terrier' and eventually settled on the Border Terrier. Two main things attracted her to Borders, their easy-going temperament and ability to peacefully co-exist with other dogs. Border Terriers are now our main breed.

We are lucky to have had the help of several people over the years with our breeding.
First of all the late Robert Bartram, ("Craigend", NSW Aust) who sold us our first Border in the year 2000. He had a lifetime's experience in Borders, knew all the important breeders in the UK, and always was willing to help us.

Joy Wangler ("Kalan" Ballarat, Aust). Joy was kind enough to let us use her highly successful import Aust Grand CH & Fin & NZ CH Foxforest One for the Road (Jesse). This enabled us to breed our Ziggi (Ch.Barton Theta) who was both a successful sire and a winner in the showring. Using our Jesse frozen semen we recently bred our Carlos (Ch.Barton Blues and Twos). We cannot thank Joy enough for this and her extremely generous help and support over the years.

Pip Graham ("Bramble" N.Z.), Stu Mintrom, & Gail O'Keefe for breeding our CH Bramble Country Road. "Sage" is the matriarch of our Borders, a daughter of the lovely "Jorja" and all our current Borders descend from her.

Our current show dogs are CH.BARTON BLUES AND TWOS (Carlos) & CH.BARTON ZIPPER-SUITED SUNGOD (Zipper

No puppy enquiries please. We have no plans to breed any litters.

After showing and breeding Staffordshire Bull Terriers for over 40 years we were looking for a smaller breed with the same steady nature (although nothing will ever take the place of all the Staffords!) and the Border Terrier fits the bill perfectly.

While in Australia our prefix was Blackshot, as the kennel name Warmaster which Sandra first registered in NZ in 1980 for the Staffords is not available in Australia.

We are very proud to have been entrusted with such amazing dogs as our foundation.

Our first Border was Rebus - Sup Ch Bohunt Hue And Cry SE. Tragically killed by a snake February 2019. Our incredible introduction to this beautiful breed.

Ch Blackshot A Bit Of Reckon from our first Border litter won Best In Show at the Sporting Terrier Club of Queensland February 2020 Championship show - at 9.5 months of age.

Ch Blackshot Act of Dog from our second Border litter won Runner Up to Best in Show at this same show 2 years later.

We are looking forward to getting our two latest boys in the ring in New Zealand, from our third and forth Border litters.
NZ Ch Blackshot Who Dahal R You (a Reckon son)
NZ Ch Blackshot Return To Base (a son of Reckon's sister)
Both these boys are available at stud in New Zealand, see their profiles for more information.

I'm a very experienced breeder, having bred, shown & trained Boxers since the 1980s, and Border Terriers (BT) since 2008. But our dogs are above all loved, family members.

I plan litters only if confident of producing healthy, long-lived, loving companions. I had decades in dog sports so I prioritise sound construction & temperament.

In 2022 I added a new Border Terrier to my family (Lester Borda-Call Me Isla).

Isla had a litter of plump pups on 24th May 2024. The sire: NZ Ch. Dunrobin The Chase is On ('Chase'). Puppies look fabulous so far, and Isla's a great mum. (All puppies have homes finalised).

It's important to me that every pup has the best possible chance of a long & happy life. That means I prioritise health testing and rigorous early socialisation for pups. It also means I need to feel confident that puppy parents are a good match for the characteristics of the breed, and temperament each pup. With 30+ years breeding, owning & training dogs I'm a pretty good judge of what will work best for a family & for my pups :)

If you are interested in a puppy from a future litter, please email me about your home / family, & experience with dog ownership. It's helpful if you share why you want a Border Terrier, and what your ideal pup would be like. Please ask questions too of course! :)

Breeding true to type Border Terriers with the correct temperament suitable for all disciplines. We have bred & shown terriers for the past 30 years with great success. Many thanks to my long time friend Gaela Whyte (Bohunt Borders, Melbourne) for allowing us to have her beautiful dogs here as our foundation.
