All of our girls at Topshelf Border Terriers are OFA'd for Heart, Hips and Patellas and eyes CERF'd before they are bred.  These health checks are required by us and recommended by The Border Terrier Club of America.  Our girls are also issued a CHIC # which is a validation that the recommended health screenings are done, made public and permanently identified with a microchip or tatoo.  Issuing of CHIC numbers in no way indicates that the stock 'passed' all the health checks.  It's just a validation that they are done and made public for everyone's viewing.

BIS CH Talex Toscanini x CH Highgate Ark Rebekah Boo

Bailey is a grizzle & tan bitch bred by Terri & Jim Orem & Larry Greene in Milan, IN. She is the half sister to the Multi BIS CH Highgates Zaccheas Of The Ark JE. She is my heart dog and the love of my life! She has such a wonderful temperament that any breeder would want in their breeding program.  She has the temperament that a Border Terrier should have! 

Bailey is my first Border Terrier in so many ways.  She's my first finished AKC champion, first performance dog and the dam of my very first litter.  Bailey had 2 litters and is retired from breeding and showing.  She is now 14 years old and living the life of luxury for the remainder of her days at Topshelf.

Manny is the correct size for a male and has the correct structure and movement that is hard to find in the border terrier.  He has fabulous shoulders and he floats when he moves.  Manny has been neutered because of a heart murmur found at the age of 5 years.  He is my husband's dog and they are inseparable.  He will remain at Topshelf as a pet.  

Pictured below is CH Topshelf's Big Bang Theory (Priya).  She had her first litter of puppies on 12/7/16 and the sire was CH Otterwise Jeremiah (Remi) owned by Ann Goodspeed in Indianapolis.  This litter was the most confident litter I have raised.  She had 7 gorgeous puppies and 6 of them are in performance homes.  How could I have been so lucky.

I decided to keep a puppy from the Priya x Remi litter.  She is Topshelf Come And See The Show (Lake).  She is a wonderful confident puppy and learning to be a show dog for conformation and agility.  She has the right attitude and a joy to live with.  She is by far the smartest dog we have in the house.
