Tenterfield Terrier Breeders, Moira VIC

Ardchattan is only a small, but very select kennel, breeding for quality rather than quantity. In breeding to the standard, conformation, movement, attitude and temperament is paramount. All ArdchattanTenterfields are PLL & CHG clear. I have had a long association with the breed. My parents having bred Mini Foxies for over 20 years whilst I was growing up and I have invariably had one since. In the past, over the years, I have had a significant interest in the genetics of breeding, Stud Cattle, Arabian Horses,Rottweilers and now Tenterfields. It was only natural then that in retirement I would again be drawn to breeding dogs again. In the last few years I have spent considerable time on the road, visiting breeders, researching the breed and the various bloodlines. To my minds eye, I have been attracted to and have incorporated the bloodlines of Skalawag, Nudimah, Gumhaven and Tenerello. My current litter of pups, which incorporate these lines, have vindicated those choices. I take this interest very seriously and derive a great deal of pleasure from it. In limited showing Ardchattan has had success in Best in Group, Class in Group, Best of Breed and Challenge wins. Skalawag Oh So Debonair (Chip) is tragically no longer with us. Our new sire Renaylbysh Hes A Winner (Finn) is proving to be a worthwhile replacement. His progeny have been well sought after. Please call or email for more information about the puppies in the Puppies for Sale listing.

Skalawag Tenterfield Terriers was established by Dale McDonell in 2015. Sauvie (Ch. Larndora Ohso Sauve) and Katie (CH. Gumhaven Shes A Rainbow) both arrived that year and became Dale’s foundation breeding pair. Little did Dale know at the time just how significant these two would prove to be. The two most outstanding litters consisted of such notable progeny as Brownie (Grand Ch. Skalawag Oh Wow Its Mr Brown), Chip (Ch. Skalawag Oh So Debonaire) and Queenie (Ch. Skalawag Oh Wow Shes A Redhead) while the following litter produced Pixie (Skalawag Oh Hello), Indi (Skalawag Oh Wow Redheads Rule) and Peanut (Ch. Skalawag Oh Wow Look At Me) among others. My introduction into the Skalawag breeding program came about when I purchased Chip, Pixie and Indi for Ardchattan Tenterfield Terriers. Over the years Dale and I worked closely together and now as requested by Dale before her passing I will continue the Skalawag Breeding Program. Sauvie, Queenie, Pixie and Sera (Skalawag Sweet Serenade) form the basis of the program today while the sires Ch. Nudimah Mystical Maverick, Tenerello Valentino, Renaylbysh Hes A Winner and more recently the young sire River (Grand Ch. Jacksonhills Cry Me A River) have been used. The outcross females Wandji Brandy On Ice and Rubybrae Rosie have also been added. Rosie it is hoped will become Katie's replacement in being bred to Sauvie. The intention is to produce high quality breeding and show dogs as in the past and high quality pets.
