Welcome to the Bend of River Acres (BORA) website!  We have just recently published this website.  Several pages are still under construction and we apologize in advance for any inconvenience this might cause you.  We hope to have the website completed shortly.

My name is Patti Lane.  I have worked with dogs for over thirty (30) years in the veterinary medical field and law enforcement.  I have been actively involved in the dog sport of Schutzhund since 2000.   My partner is Arthur Collins.  Arthur became involved in Schutzhund training in the 1980's while serving in the United States Armed Forces in Germany.     Arthur is presently the President and Training Director of the Fayetteville Schutzhund Club.   He is also a National Level Helper and has trained numerous dogs to compete at the national level.

Bend of River Acres is where our home, kennels and training facilities are located.  Our property consists of fifteen (15+) acres which is located in a rural area of Dunn, NC.  Our training facility, which is on our property, is also utilized by the Fayetteville Schutzhund Club as their club training and trial field.  We do have several different species of animals that reside on our property, but our main focus has always been the working dog.

Our dogs are from some of the finest proven imported lines.  Our pups/dogs have and should continue to excel in Schutzhund, Personal Protection, Search and Rescue, Police Service Dogs and/or as Family Companions.  If you have any questions or need further information please feel free to contact us at boraworkingk9s@yahoo.com or by phone (910) 658-6670.
