Moments with Mali and Dusty
Border Terriers -
We found if we relax they relax, we eat they eat
we walk they walk
It’s because they think they are we!
Mali was born May 10 2022 to beautiful parents Dusty & Basil
Bred by Nicola Swan from Bordour Kennels in the Taupo area. This page is designed to document our journey with a new puppy and highlight the wonderful Border Terrier breed - so welcome little Mali junior. PLUS not only did we get little Mali, we fell in love with his mum Dusty so Dusty came to live with us and what a gift she is! Beautiful kind gentle soul that will the rest of her life with her son.
Mali is named after a fantastic UK photographer Mali Davies, a lover of nature and being outdoors, Mali’s gentle personality and character is infectious and we hope Mali junior lives up to his namesake traits, Mali is a wonderful photographer and captures the true essence of the world we live in.
