After marrying her husband, Mick, they established a market garden business at Paull near Hull and the Boreasvale Kennels.Mrs Hardcastle had many home bred champions and dogs from Boreasvale also went abroad to places such as Sweden, Finland, America and Australia. Some of her most famous dogs are Ch Boreasvale Bojangles, her first champion, who was shown at Crufts in 1981; Ch Boreasvale Bonikita who helped Boreasvale win the top kennel award in the North of England Keeshond Club's Golden Jubilee year in 1986; Boreasvale Bomatic, sire of 4 champions; and Ch Boreasvale Blue Horizon who won Best Of Breed and gained his title at Crufts in 2005.Jean also became a well-respected show judge.
