Welcome to Stonebriar Kennels, where we strive to produce the best Border Collies for showing and breeding as possible. We hold very high standards for our dogs, and expect nothing less. We stress good movement and impressive build of the elbows and hips, and consider these traits to be the most important. Secondly, we concentrate on behavior. We will try not to breed for bad behavior, but we also have several methods to correct bad behavior, so behavioral importance comes second to the build of the animal. Stonebriar Kennels has been built on hard work, dedication, research, careful planning, and a whole lot of love and responsibility.

This Kennel is our main kennel, and is located in the beautiful countryside of Bath, England. Here, we house our main line, which we are once more building up. Our main show dogs, breeding stock, and uprising stars from our Border Collie line live here, as this is the location of our main training facilities. Here in Bath, we have many acres of spacious land for the dogs to excersise out on, as well as large indoor kennels and runs, not to mention the main house, as these boys and girls are the most spoiled of all of our dogs. But of course, we tend to spoil all of our dogs, including our secondary line, located along the coastline of Canterbury. Our secondary line will be crossed with our main line housed here, in order to prevent excessive inbreeding, and to raise the faults of our dogs. So don't forget to stop by Canterbury and say hello to our dogs there. Our main sales kennels are located nearby in Bristol, so if you are looking for dogs for sale, don't miss out on seeing what he have avalaible there!

PLEASE NOTE: Lately, there have been multiple acts of blatant disrespect towards Stonebriar Kennels and our policies. We have had breeders stealing our text, pictures, and even our dog's names. This is a complete and utter disrespect to us, and we will not tolerate it. We would like to refer you to our copyright policies, also located at the bottom of this page, but we will post them here as well:

(C) All text, images, and names contained within the pages of Stonebriar Kennels and its affiliates are copyright of the Stonebriar Kennels family, unless otherwise noted. Please DO NOT steal anything off of these page. We have worked hard to establish our polcies, and have also spent countless hours searching for "just the right" photo for our dogs, so taking any of our images or text is a blatant disrespect to our kennels and will not be tolerated.

If these acts of disrespect continue, we will have no choice but to take action. We would like to keep this as civil as possible, so to keep things decent and without a fuss, if you have taken our pictures and/or text/names, please simply remove them and we will not press against you. If you would like help finding pictures or coming up with text and/or names, we would love to help you out - but please, ask us, do not simply steal things off of our pages. If you have any questions concerning this, please contact us. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

Here at Stonebriar Kennels, we have always focused on one breed - the magnificent, hard-working Border Collie. From their gentle, loyal nature, to their dedication and intelligence in the work force, the Border Collie is an all-around package dog, whether they are needed for a family pet, a working herder, a show champion, or an event competitor. Stonebriar Kennels has always focused on breeding our Border Collies to excel in any and all situations that they are put in. We have always taken pride in our Border Collies, who have proven themselves time and time again. Even the lines that we established years ago are still prominent in the pedigrees and genetics of the Border Collies on SDN today.

Stonebriar Deceased

Throughout the course of Stonebriar Kennels, many great and fantastic dogs have passed away after serving many wonderful years here at the kennels. Because Stonebriar Kennels has been in operation for so long, there are simply too many wonderful dogs to list, but we wish to give them all a farewell tribute that is worthy of the services they have provided us. So for all of the magnificent Border Collies who have made their mark on Stonebriar Kennels - that'll do, boys and girls, that'll do

Dog News

1/17/2012 - And we're back! Stonebriar Kennels is officially re-open. We're still in the process of transferring all of our dogs over here, as we have kept our currently pregnant females at their original kennels, but we will hopefully have everything centralized out of this account within the next few weeks. In other news, we sent in for the IKC registration of 3 of our studs: Stonebriar Fidelio, TD level with 5 SC/4 BB, Stonebriar CH Gawain, A level with 11 SC/12 BB and CHampion status, and Stonebriar Don Pasquale, a home-bred adolescent (currently 2y2m) out of Armide and by Pomone; he currently stands at A level status with 5 SC/6 BB. All three of these boys will be available for stud under limited conditions.

1/14/2012 - We sent in for an upgrade on this account on 1/13/12, so hopefully that will come through soon. Once this account has been upgraded, we will start the process of transferring our new line of Border Collies over here, starting with our show and stud dogs and following with our dams and future hopefuls. This should be happening within the next few days, so keep an eye out! We are also starting our second generation breedings this week and are super excited about what these lovely dogs will produce. So, keep an eye on the kennel for more updates, but hopefully Stonebriar Kennels will be up and running again by the end of next week!

1/11/2012 - We're getting there, we promise! We've produced several nice Border Collies on our test account and are continuing to work with them, manipulating their genetics to exactly what we want in our line. We hope to have Stonebriar Kennels up and running again within the next few weeks. So keep us on your radar, because hopefully some Stonebriar pups will be coming your way soon!

12/29/2011 - Yep, you read that right: 2011. Almost 2012 now. Stonebriar Kennels has been inactive for over a year now, due to no internet access, time constraints due to my two jobs and college course load, and various other reasons. However, some free time has opened up, and frankly, I can't stay away from this place. So, as long as I can uphold the arangements that I currently have for boarding/care, Stonebriar Kennels should be able to return to the fold of the SDN community. We are currently working on raising a new line on a test account, and once the quality of this line has been deemed worthy of the Stonebriar name, then they will be moved to this account and Stonebriar will become an active kennel once more, although on a much smaller scale, at least at first. We are currently breeding for genetics and correct general trais, and once our line is established, we will return to our work with coloured BCs, including Red Bi-Colors and Merles and Tri-Colors in Black, Red, and Grey/Blue.

Stonebriar Kennels takes pride in its breeding program, a program that has been established through hard work, dedication, extensive research, and lots of planning. In order to continue the Stonebriar legacy, we often match our Border Collies together, in order to produce what we believe to be fool-proof combinations for high-quality litters. In order to keep up with the breed, we are often mating our Border Collies, however, each mating requires extensive planning and research, and we never breed unless we are absolutely certain that the litter will produce top-quality pups.

Litter Reservation Terms

Open - this reservation is open for all breeders to reserve from

Closed - this reservation is not open to any breeder

Limited - this reservation IS open, however, we cannot guarantee that all reservations will be filled. This case is usually when a brood bitch is whelping for the first time, so we are unsure as to what size litters she will produce

Private - this reservation is open ONLY to specific Border Collie breeders which we have pre-approved - please contact us to see if you qualify for this list

Stonebriar Kennels is first and foremost a kennel focused on improvement of the Border Collie breed and raising our dogs to fulfill breed standards - we are not simply a puppy business. In fact, we do not even consider ourselves to be a business at all, as we are more focused on our dogs continuing a legacy and having the best care as possible, rather than making money. Therefore, we do not always have dogs for sale. In fact, unless we have an upcoming litter, it is rather rare for a Stonebriar dog to be offered up for sale. However, we will occasionally offer our dogs for sale, whether they are too closely related to other dogs in our kennel, or if they have served us well thus far but we feel they would be better off at another kennel, or for other reasons. When this situation arises, purchasing these dogs will not simply mean clicking a button. We will perform an analysis report on all interested buyers, in order to ensure that our dogs are going to the best homes possible. This same procedure will take place when Stonebriar pups are offered for sale.

Stonebriar Kennels has been built on years of hard work and dedication, through numerous failed attempts and successful tries, and through a love and devotion for the breed that we raise. Over the years, we have set many policies into motion here at Stonebriar, policies that we uphold religiously, and will bend for no one.

Breeding/Pup Policies: Before breeding, we compare every possible combination, choosing one that we believe is a foolproof recipe for success. Once bred, we begin to take reservations on the litters, with the first pick belonging to us. When pups are born, they stay with their mother for 6 months, who is shown during that time. Afterwards, we wean them, and keep them for an additional 8 months, working to improve their genetics. Once they are 1 year, 2 months old, we will release them to their new owners.

Showing Policies: Our dogs are continually shown, all in their proper classes. Club registration is our ultimate showing goal, and we work hard to acheive that status. We try to show every day, while taking a day off every now and again to give our dogs a rest. The show circuit is our dog's lives, and they strive for perfection in it, and they seem to love it as much as we do!

Care Policies: Stonebriar Kennels provides nothing but the best care for our dogs. Specially formulated diets are created for each dog, and only the finest materials are used. Our pups are given Healthy Choice Vitamins daily until they turn 2 years old, when they are switched over to Multi-Purpose Vitamins, which we provide for all of our dogs daily. Our dogs are fully groomed every day, as well as have check-ups every day, and routine shots every week. Specialized vitamins and treatments, such as coat vitamins, eye drops, and extra dental care, are given to those who are in need of it. Our dogs are played with, exercised, and rested daily. All pups are trained using various methods, all tested to prove which ones are most effective for that particular dog, daily, until they are 2 years of age. At Stonebriar Kennels, we do not treat our dogs as simply an investment, or "some show animal" - at Stonebriar, they are family!

Sale policies: Once we have bred two dogs, we will usually offer a few of the pups for sale, as well as the occasional adult. However, because so much work has gone into our dogs, we will not let them go to just any home, we do have a few requirements for buyers. Firstly, you must leave Stonebriar or SBK in the name of the dog, where you have it is your preference (front, middle, back). Secondly, you must never allow that dog to go to the shelter. We work too hard to keep our dogs top quality for them to simply end up at the shelter. If we find that a dog that we have sold you has ended up in the shelter without a viable excuse, you as a kennel will be blacklisted on our sales list, either temporarily or permenantly. Also, we do not require it, but we advise that you not cross our dogs with another breed. While we are not against crossbreds, we do not encourage them with our stock. Our dogs have pure lines so far back on their pedigrees, we feel it best to keep their lines pure. Also, please do not haggle over prices. The price we are asking for a dog is set in stone, and we will not lower it, so please do not ask. We price our dogs on what we think is fair, and therefore will stand by it. Also,do not ask to buy a dog and/or pup that is not for sale. If we have a litter of pups and have not yet specified what pups are avaliable, do not message us asking for a specific pup. Once we say who is avaliable, feel free to inquire about pups that are available. Do not however expect us to sell you a dog that is not for sale, because we will not. We have every right to retain any dog and/or pup, and begging for a pup that we have decided to retain will not change our minds about it - it will only change our minds about whether or not you are actually a reputable buyer. For the most part, as long as you are a responsible owner, and promise to care for the dog, you should have no problem with being welcome as a buyer to Stonebriar Kennels.

Adoption Policies: Stonebriar Kennels often, usually once a week, makes shelter runs to find new blood to infuse into our line. We generally adopt dogs who are either shelter-made or have been in the shelter for some time, but occasionally, we may pick up a dog that ended up in the shelter "by accident". If this happens, and you were the previous owner of the dog,do not ask for it back. We believe that once dogs go to the shelter, they are free game for all. If any of our dogs go to the shelter and are picked up by others, we do not ask for nor do we expect to get them back, and therefore we adhere to those rules on the opposite side of the situation as well. So, unless you are a close friend of ours and/or we have worked out the details of the adoption mix-up previously, we will most likely not give "your" dog back to you. We apologize for any inconvenience, but gifting back dogs is simply too much of a hassle and a complication for us, and we do not feel that it is necessary or ethical in any case.

Spay/Neuter Policies: Due to the irresponsible behavior of players altering literally every Border Collie in the shelter, we are, for the vast majority, not altering any dogs that come out of our lines. We ask that if you buy a Border Collie from us that you respect this policy, and leave that particular dog in tact. Our dogs have had a lot of work put into them, and we did not spend this much time on them for people to simply alter them, rendering them useless to pass on the high quality genes of Stonebriar Kennels. The only exception to this rule is if the dog has already exceeded the breeding age limit (8y for bitches, 9y for dogs).

Tag Policies: Here at Stonebriar Kennels, we are extremely strict about tags being left in names. We believe that credit must be given where credit is due, and as such will ensure that all of our dogs not bred by Stonebriar Kennels retain their original tag, whether we bought the pup from the breeder, another breeder, or the shelter. If we bought a dog from you and you did not breed, we will not keep your tag in it - we will change the tag to the breeder's tag, so that they may get credit for the dog that they produced. All of our dog's are named in the following format "Stonebriar tagname". Stonebriar will always go in the front of the dog's name - we are sorry if you want your tag first, but in order to keep our kennels clean and organized and to have a uniform pattern with all of our dogs, the prefix Stonebriar will always be the first word in the dog's name. Following our prefix will be your tag, in bold, so that it is easily definable as the breeder's tag. The tag will then be transcribed into the possesive form - meaning, your tag will be followed by a " 's" to show that your tag has claim to the dog. When it comes to our tag, you MUST keep our tag in any dog's name that comes from Stonebriar lines. If you buy a dog from us which we did not breed, feel free to remove our tag, but if we bred the particular dog, it is required to keep our tag, "SBK", in the name. You may place our tag anywhere in your dog's name, whether it be front, middle, or back. Where is completely your preference, as long as it is in there. If we see that you have a pup that we breed and you do not have our tag in the name, we will message you and ask you to please replace the tag in the pup's name. If you refuse, you will most likely be blacklisted, either temporarily or permenantly.
