The Border Collie is just that, a breed.
They are NOT sheepdogs until they have been trained to WORK sheep or other livestock.
Our Border Collie puppies have been bred for many generations specifically for their supreme intelligence, train-ability and outstanding excellence in all the canine disciplines
including Sheep, cattle and duck Herding, Dog Agility, Flyball, Disc or Frisbee Dog, Hill Walking companion, active pet and many other canine performance sports.
Our Border Collies have the instinct to herd stock, and by work they train themselves; requiring just a little help and direction from their handlers.
Maintaining and improving the Health of the Border Collie is very important to us.
DNA testing and Hip Scoring are at the top of our list.
Amazingly well reared , ISDS registered Border Collie Sheepdogs with superb temperaments.
