Our Story
My love for terriers came from my father. He is an avid hunter and always had one or two rat terriers, fox terriers, or Jack Russell crosses running around the property. There is something special about this group of dog that is intelligent, funny, and tough, all wrapped up in a little ball of spitfire.
Ten years ago he was ready to add another terrier to the farm. He asked me to help him find one. After researching different breeders we found the Decker line rat terriers. We were both intrigued to find a larger size terrier than we were used to. He decided to purchase two females from Lil Ranchin. We drove down, and picked out Kimber and Kinzee. I was instantly hooked on these incredible dogs.
I was ready to add my own Decker to my family once my kids were old enough. I wanted a go dog… put him in the truck, go hiking, go to the beach, go one a bike ride, all while being happy, yet protective of my family and me. I found Goose five years ago from BriarBey Decker and Old Dominion Terriers. When he arrived I knew he was something special. He was everything I wanted. He is driven, protective, and truly loves his people. I could not be happier with my handsome boy. We added a couple Decker females (Lil Ranchin Javelina and Westside Deckers Magpie), an Old Dominion female (BriarBey's Echo of Elora) to our pack over the last few years, an additional Decker male (Lil Ranchin Razorback), along with two hold back pups out of Goose and Kimber (StoneyCreek's Rue and StoneyCreek's Mr. Wilson). I could not be happier with the direction my kennel is going.
Deckers and ODTs have an intelligence to them to where they read their people. They look into your eyes to try and see what you want from them. They aim to please. They are big, beautiful, and have a personality to match. They are happy to be hunting one minute and hanging out on the couch with the family the next.
My goal is to help you find your next family member. Whether you hunt, want a companion, or are looking for your next go buddy, I feel very confident that we can help you find what you are looking for.
