It was not as easy back then to find a Decker as it is now. We talked with all the Decker breeders we could find then. In March of 2002 we aquired Cindy as a 2 year old adult. If in a couple of years the 2 pups we kept from her 1st mating are healthy/quality examples of the Deckers, we will breed them in an effort to continue the line. These potential breedings will not be based solely on percentages, but on what the dogs have to offer with relation to structure, health, hunting ability, and temperament. Our main concern is the placement of the pups we breed, and their welfare/happiness is of the utmost importance to us. While I do realize that one can never be completely assured that their placement will be what we consider a success, we must try our best to find them homes in which they will get adequate attention. This attention includes providing them with sufficient time with their human companions and sufficient training to insure that all will have a harmonious relationship. We make it known to all the families that if they're not happy with their pup/dog that we will take it back. We never want any to end up in a shelter, neglected or unwanted.

Planned Decker Terrier Breedings  (April 25, 2006) Killen's Cindy and Seegmiller's Bullet are the parents of 4 females & 2 males born November 7, 2006. This breeding was a coordinated effort between  Elsie and Bobby of Killen's Rat Terriers and George Palmer Buckhorn Rat Terriers Many thanks to Tim Brown  who's contribution has also been of immeasurable value to us all. This breeding is taking place in hopes of helping to keep the Deckers as they were originally bred, and take them into the future. We feel that this is an important breeding for the Deckers and would like to insure that if any of the pups are placed with other breeders that they are bred to the standards that Milton Decker had in mind. 1440 Visits 70 Images Shared Album 7.
