With a dog in your life there is always a reason to smile.

Our aim in raising puppies is, and has always been, to provide the best puppies we can produce. To ensure that our dogs are not only meeting breed standards in intelligence and drive, while also encouraging friendly and engaging personalities, we use a Bold/Drive scale to measure our adult dogs and their resulting offspring.

Appearance is the icing on the cake and we do not specially breed for any superficial traits such as coat colors or ear shape.

Personality & Temperament

Our dogs are measured on two scales: Boldness and Drive. We aim for our dogs to measure 7-8 out of 10 and breed like-to-like, to make sure that litters are standard.

Boldness

This refers to how confident a dog is. Dogs with high score in boldness deal with situations more easily and are not as timid in new environments.

Drive

Dogs with a high drive excel at tasks and have great endurance. For dogs that will being working, having a high drive is very beneficial.

Early Life

Regardless of whether the puppy will go on to work or play, we make sure that by the time they go to their new homes, they are used to older dogs, new environments, and are crate-trained. They spend the first eight weeks of their lives being picked up, played with, introduced to cats and strangers, and spending time both indoors and outdoors. This is the most critical time in their lives and by introducing them to as much as we can, we are improving their intelligence and comfort.

Vaccinations are done at 6, 8, 12, and 16 weeks. Rabies shots are at 16 weeks.

Worming is done at 3, 6, and 8 weeks.

Getting Started

If you are interested in purchasing a puppy, the first thing to do is submit your questionnaire.

 

Border collies are rated as the most intelligent dog breed and they are extremely high energy. Though not all border collies end up working or training, they do need lots of space to run, play, and use their instincts.

 

A bored border collie is an unhappy, and often destructive, border collie. As breeders, it is our responsibility to make sure that not only are our puppies going to loving homes, they are going to homes that will meet their needs. This questionnaire is designed to give us a thorough understanding of your family’s lifestyle and how it may impact your puppy.

Purchasing a puppy should never be done on a whim or done for superficial interests such as color or shape. Puppy owners need to be prepared to meet all financial, health, and lifestyle requirements for the dog breed they bring home.

 

Please complete the questionnaire with as much detail as you can.  Any questions left unanswered will not automatically disqualify but will hinder our ability as a breeder to match the best puppy to your situation.
