It is our aim at Barleyarch to maintain both the looks and working ability of the breed, but most of all to produce happy, healthy and sound dogs both in wind and limb that will give their owners many years of love and devotion.
To that end we do not produce countless litters, just a select few using the best dogs from only the soundest of lines, thus maintaining our position as one of the all time top winning and top producing kennels in the United Kingdom.
 It has been noted that several kennels have associated themselves with our affix. Please be careful, just because our dogs share an ancestor or two, this does not mean they share any of the characteristics associated with our World Famous kennel.
