My younger son, Nathan, wanted a "little dog". And, so it all began...

I have been involved in breeding, showing, training and competing with Collies for over 30 years. My involvement included breed, obedience and tracking, putting it all together in my foundation sire, Amer/Can Ch&OTCh Shoreham Dubious Delight TD, Can CD.

When my son was 7 years old, he started begging for a little dog. For the next 3 years, as I attended shows, I researched various breeds. When I came to the Border Terrier, I felt I had found the perfect dog. Soon after, Ch Freilance Wacky Wicket ME CG joined our family as a 9 week old puppy, and quickly won our hearts.

Wicket's breeder calls them the Border "Almost" Terrier. After a lifetime with only larger dogs, I call them the "tuck under the arm and go" dogs. They are gutsy little dogs that can jog 4 miles with me, romp with the Collies, keep the cats in line, and snuggle under the covers without taking up the whole bed! Perfect!

At Wicklin Border Terriers, the whole dog is considered important. Sound structure, expression and temperament are equally important. A healthy, enjoyable companion is just as important as a show and/or performance dog.
