We are a small Border Collie breeding kennel and produce a small
amount of pups per year. We believe it takes more than a good pedigree
to produce quality pups. Our goal is to produce not only well bred dogs
but dogs that are a joy to live with no matter what you choose to do with
your dog. We believe breeding healthy dogs with excellent temperaments
is only the beginning. A breeder should be responsible for the pups from
the time he/she breeds the parents. It is the breeders job to see to it that
the dam is properly cared for not only during the pregnancy but before,
during and after pregnancy. A breeder should also see to it that the pups
have the best start possible in life. Pups should be socialized from day
one with the family and handling should continue the whole time the pup
is at the breeders. Pups should be exposed to not only adults but
children, animals, various surfaces, noises and more. The more a
breeder does with a pup the easier it will be for that pup to handle
whatever his future living situation will be. (herding home, agility,
obedience, family ....) We offer continued training advice and help for the
life of our pups and even rescues. We believe there is more to a BC than
a pretty face and feel people should place pups in homes that fit each
pups individual temperament. Our goal is not to rush pups in and out of
here but to find the best homes we can no matter how long it may take.
(for pups and rescue dogs) All of our breeding age dogs are OFA'd and
CERF'd (or DNA'd.)
We give a written health guarantee on our pups and require a contract be
signed prior to purchase. If for any reason you can no longer keep your
pup we require that the pup be returned to us so we can find it a quality
home. Our pups are born in our home, handled daily, desensitized,
socialized (with kids, adults and other animals), temperament tested,
vaccinated, wormed, started with basic manners, crate training started,
and more. We expose our dogs to various situations such as walking on
a loose lead, no jumping, crate training, taking a bath, grooming, nail
clippings, various toys, Very LOUD noises, clickers, hand feedings and
more) When our pups leave we want them to be outgoing and ready for
the new life that awaits them. If you would like more details on how we raise our
pups please click here.
We do not believe in selling pups based on the pups color and our pups
are always priced according to litter. You will not get a higher quality pup
simply because it is a different color. We also sell males and females for
the same price.
We do require a written contract for our pups. This is not only for our
protection but also the protection of the pup and the puppy buyer.
We do not sell to people who we do not get to at least speak to on the
phone so if you are really interested in a pup you can either forward you
phone number or call me.
We do not sell to puppy mills or mass producers so if you are a person
who falls into that category (you know if you do) we will not sell any of our
pups to you. If you are planning on breeding one of our pups you will be required
to sign a different contract than the spay/neuter pup buyers and must meet
other criteria as well.
We will take back any of our pups, adult dogs, or rescues if you are
unable to keep them for whatever reason.
