Meadowlake
Border Terriers
My
name is Karen Fitzpatrick and I would like to thank you for
your interest in Meadowlake
Border Terriers!
We are located just south of Chicago in Limestone, IL.
I have been showing and breeding Border Terriers for 13
years. Our goals at Meadowlake are to produce terriers
that consistently demonstrate superior working ability,
excellent conformation with emphasis on movement and
temperament, and that will succeed equally well in show
ring, doing agility or field work, or simply just as a
healthy loving companion. All of our breedings are
meticulously planned with concern for maintaining the
integrity of our unique breed as our first priority. Puppies
whelped at Meadowlake are raised in our home, with great
attention given to proper socialization and training. Given
this type of solid foundation, we believe that our terriers
will excel in many activities, but most importantly, will be
loving, loyal companions to those who are fortunate enough
to be owned by them!
All of our terriers are proven in
the field and the show ring and must have the disposition
and temperament that is demanded by us before they are bred.
After we make the careful decision to breed, we then
determine the match most desirable to produce the terrier we
feel fits our high standard of achievement.
We have to our credit numerous
conformation championships and have won consistently at
the BTCA National Specialty, taking Best In Sweepstakes 3
times to retire the Todfield Trophy. We have many
other pretigious wins, including Best Of Breed at Westminster
Kennel Club and Best Of Breed and Best Bred By
Exhibitor at the Eukanuaba Classic 3
times with our homebred Borders. Not only do all
of our Border Terriers have to be shown to their AKC
Championship, we feel they must be better than the average
Border Terrier and must excel in all fields, including
temperament, conformation, movement and most of all they
must be mentally and physically sound. We have
also produced several agility champions in all clubs, along
with many versatility titles.
We aren't a kennel, our dogs simply
live with us together in harmony along with my Border
Collie, 2 Papillons and our Mini Wire Dachshund,
and a couple of geriatric Jack Russells! Showing and
Breeding Borders is simply my passion. Plan on
visiting us if you are in the vicinity -- we love the
company and so do the terriers! Pedigrees and pictures are
all available on request. Puppies are sometimes available,
but reservations are suggested. Now, if you are ready
to see some of best Border Terriers in the Midwest, please
continue with our Stud Dogs and then on to some of our
Bitches! If you love Borders or simply have children
who like to read about dogs, please don't forget to visit
"Austin's First Puppy". My first children's
book about a Border Terrier.
