Our breeding program is centered around the betterment of this versatile breed and the promotion of responsible dog ownership. Purchasing a puppy is not something that should be done on a whim but should involve much research and planning. Border Collies are very intelligent and are high energy working dogs. For this reason, all prospective buyers are required to fill out a questionnaire which will help us decide what kind of temperament is suitable for them.
We are proud of our lines, as we feel that a well bred border collie should be sound in movement, have the necessary drive to enjoy working for its owner, yet be able to relax in the house. I'm often asked whether I feel that a Border Collie is suitable for the average companion home. My answer is yes, with temperament testing methods done at 8 weeks, there are certain puppies that can be suitable for that kind of home. Temperament testing results can never take the place of formal obedience training however. We require that all owners actively participate in a minimum of a full 8 week obedience course with their new puppy within the first 60 days of ownership.
We are adamant about maintaining a solid well rounded temperament in our lines with the appropriate drive and instinct to do what it was bred for without creating neurotic behavior so often seen in this breed.
It is stressed by many that this breed is not for everyone, but with proper understanding and training, they can certainly exceed an owners expectations as a wonderful companion and competitor.
Whether you are searching for a show prospect or an agility or flyball partner, each dog must be a healthy, happy family companion first and foremost.
