Stoneridge Kennel

Our family legacy with dogs began long before our breeding program took shape. It all started in my childhood, where my love for dogs ignited during visits to my uncle's veterinary clinic. Surrounded by the warmth of wagging tails and the gentle spirits of our canine companions, we realized that our hearts belonged to these animals. Growing up with Beagles, we learned the true meaning of companionship; they were not just pets, but beloved family members who filled our lives with joy and laughter. This early exposure to the world of dogs laid the foundation for our deep-seated passion that continues to thrive today.

As we transitioned from pet owners to breeders, our journey took a delightful turn. We began by raising a few beloved pets, but it wasn't long before we discovered the thrill of showing dogs. The experience of showcasing our dogs' talents and beauty at various events ignited a fire within us, propelling us to dive deeper into the world of dog breeding. We soon found ourselves enamored with the Border Collie, Boston Terrier, and Cairn Terrier breeds, each possessing unique qualities that resonated with our family's values of intelligence, loyalty, and playfulness.

Our breeding program has evolved organically over time, guided by a commitment to excellence and the well-being of our dogs. As we gained experience, we ventured into practical scent work trials through NASDA, herding, and Fast Cat competitions, all of which allowed us to celebrate the versatility of our breeds. These activities not only showcase the talents of our dogs but also deepen our bond with them, reinforcing our belief that a well-rounded dog is a happy dog. We take great pride in raising dogs that are not just show-ready but are also equipped with the skills and temperament to thrive in various environments.

One of the most fulfilling aspects of our breeding program is the relationships we've built with families who welcome our puppies into their homes. Every adoption is a heartfelt connection, and we cherish the opportunity to become a part of their stories. We maintain ongoing communication, providing support and guidance, ensuring that our dogs transition smoothly into their new lives. What sets our program apart is the genuine care we invest in each puppy, prioritizing their health, temperament, and happiness. We believe that our role as breeders extends beyond the initial sale; we are committed to fostering lasting connections that celebrate the love and joy that dogs bring into our lives.

In every wag of a tail and every playful bark, we see the culmination of our family's legacy. Our breeding program is not just a business; it is a celebration of our lifelong love for dogs, a commitment to excellence, and a promise to future families that each puppy is a cherished part of our story, ready to create their own legacy of love and companionship.
