We are dedicated to training, working, and breeding proven working lines of border collies. Our dogs are not simply "certified" as having instinct or "trialed" as a test of prowess. Rather, our dogs are bred for and trained to work large flocks on operating farms and ranches and compete at the national and international level. In addition, all of our dogs are affectionate and gentle with family members and friendly with other pets. Our dogs are family members first, working and championship dogs second.
Only proven dogs are bred. Our primary stud, for example, Coon, is a nationally recognized championship level herding border collie, having taken sixth in national nursuries in 2007 at the USBCHA finals. Coon continues to work sheep on an operating farm in Wisconsin and continues to win competitions at the national level. He thinks, though, that he is a lap dog in the house.
We currently have two litters of magnificent pups from Coon to proven bitches. These puppies can be dual registered with AKC and/or ABC.
In addition, Coon is available for stud this spring and summer.
Further information, including pedigrees, is available.
