Thistle Do Border Terriers

At Thistle Do, our passion for Border Terriers is both a family tradition and a labor of love. Guided by Cynthia, Emily, and Jose, we are dedicated to preserving the timeless qualities of this spirited breed—courage, intelligence, and charm—while raising each dog with the highest standards of care and companionship.

Every Border Terrier we raise is part of our extended family. From thoughtful breeding choices to attentive, hands-on care, we nurture dogs that embody the breed’s working instincts, along with the elegance, feistiness, and presence to shine in the show ring. Our approach blends heritage and heart—honoring the breed’s rich history while preparing each puppy to thrive in both modern homes and competitive arenas.

What sets Thistle Do apart is the unique touch of its devoted caretakers:

• • Cynthia’s intuition and lifelong devotion to animals
  • Emily’s hands-on expertise in grooming, training, and raising puppies—and her keen eye for quality and potential
  • Jose’s dedication in the show ring, strategy, and ability to bring out the best in every dog

Together, they form a team that balances tradition, performance, and deep affection.

Whether ringside at a show or curled up at home, a Thistle Do Border Terrier is a reflection of our promise: healthy, confident, and cherished companions for life.
