We’re busy here at Nimh Kennels preparing for the Carolina Classic this weekend where our Berger Picard, Farrah, will be going for her grand champion title and Mr. Dodger will be making his debut in the show ring.
Watch for updates and highlights as the weekend progresses!

Mr. Kooper (We called him Wishbone) went with his new family and Rattie Sissy home today. I think a perfect match, even sissy Katie was enjoying playing. I see them becoming best buds quick!
We’ve got 3 little girls left and 1 little boy. Romeo is hopefully holding out to see if his show home will come along.

I tried to add a new video of the puppies to youtube last night but my computer shut down on me. I’ll try again tonight. I’ll also work on getting their recent photo shoot online as well.
I’ve added a new page, ‘Rat Terriers Need Rescue!’. A page dedicated to Rat Terriers, & mixed variations there of, in kill shelters local to us.
If you decide to go the rescue route and are interested in a Rat Terrier in one of our local shelters please call the shelter and let them know ASAP! If you’re out of the adoption area, we are more than happy to help out anyway we can. Normally it would include me being the ‘adopter’ and having pet spay/neutered to follow with our county law then transferring ownership to new owner.
The shelter knows us on a first name basis as we foster often when we have room and extra funds — we do this because we breed and we have the opportunity to help.
There is no shame in purchasing your next from a responsible, knowledgeable breeder — but there is also no shame in opening your home to a rescue either. We’ll help you either way you go, even if it’s not purchased or adopted from us. We just ask that you choose a reputable breeder with credentials and knowledge in their chosen breed rather than continuing the cycle of shelter pets by purchasing from a pet store or breeder who breeds without thoughts to the next generation.
Even if you’re not interested in a Rat Terrier, we’re more than happy to recommend other reputable breeders, or even rescues if that’s your cup of tea. Drop us a line, we’d love to help.

Looks like Matisse is coming into heat finally, so we’ll be working on some match making with Clique soon. If you’re interested in this litter please go ahead and get your application in because I expect this litter to go fast.
Clique & Matisse are both GRANDCHAMPIONS! & our BEST rattiers! I’d expect some Terrier racing prospects and maybe even a squirrel hunter in here but these puppies should be in a very manageable temperament package as both dogs are pretty easy going. Matisse is a major cuddle bug and lives for her humans, Clique is Mr. Funny Man.

Obviously Matisse has other plans, she did not come in heat to breed (with Clique) last month as we had planned so we’ll be watching closely this month to see if she comes in.
This will make the puppies due May, puppies ready to go July.

The Red Heads have been going full force for a good hour and finally conked out for a nap. lol
They’re growing up so fast! They’ll be 7 weeks on Tuesday. I hope to get them microchipped this weekend and they’ll be going for their vet check next week. Their second shots will be given at the 8 week mark.
They’ll be ready to go the week of the 12th. We’ll be getting in touch with people who have sent in a deposit and setting up times for them to come meet their new bundle of joy soon.

We are sorry to report that the Reardon family has lost a beloved pet. Madison, my mom’s Jack Russell, passed at 15yrs old last night about 3am.
She was my mom’s dog but my first agility dog.
she’ll be missed.
