We are Border Collie fanciers as a serious passion and out of
utmost love
and appreciation
of the breed. Therefore, we are not only extremely selective about
breeding dogs,
but we are also very selective when it comes to placing dogs.
We are active members of our local
kennel club and
other various clubs to
include the Border Collie Society of America. Occasionally,
we will have puppies and adults available for the right homes.
We believe in Border Collies of sound mind and body.
Dogs that are built to last and
can be successful
in the show ring, yet still have the ability and desire to work. Our dogs
make excellent companions and versatile competitors. Temperament is
paramount.
We have dogs from imported
New Zealand and Australian
show lines and from working lines of Great Britain
and the USA. There are many out there
who are anti-this and anti-that in Border Collies. Please contact us to
discuss the
REAL differences in ALL the various types, from an unbiased point of view.
We love ALL types of Border Collies and believe they ALL have their purposes,
unless, of course, they are being bred for no purpose at all
(such as backyard "breeders", puppy mills, etc who just want to make money selling
dogs).
There are breeders breeding them specifically for competition sports like
agility, herding trial competition,
competitive obedience, flyball, etc. There are also those breeding for real
agricultural work-herding,
companion/service dog work and some breeding strictly for the conformation show
ring.
Many feel strongly that their reasons for breeding them are THE reason, and all
others are wrong.
This is why you may find much conflicting information out there on the internet.
Some of the hateful
things you find are mainly deep political opinions and feelings against certain
registries and organizations.
Don't fall into the trap. Find someone who wants the right dog to fit in
with the best possibly matched home.
If you are interested in learning more about the breed or
possibly a puppy,
adult, or a started/trained dog or youngster, feel free to contact us or
schedule to come by for a visit.
If we don't feel we are the right match for you, we will certainly recommend
other breeders
or put you in touch with several rescue/adoption options.
We do NOT export to China, nor do we support any breeder who does - www.dogsinasia.com
