Our Breeding Practices
Behaviour and socialisation
Our puppies are exposed to as many stimulating activities as we can. From living with dogs of all sizes, cats to harass, canneries to listen to, they also spend time with a 6 year old who loves to pay them and carry them around. On top of all this we vacuum around them, they love the ball pit, sand pit, water pool…
Health
Our puppies start life with a protective mum who watches over them, we ( due to the large litter) sup feed with milk until old enough for solids, our puppies have good home cooked meals 2x a day, they graze feed with dry during the day, and have warm milk 2x a day. All pups are 💯% eating on their own when sent to…
Home environment
Our puppies have a daytime activity yard and at night are tucked up all together in the house (temp controlled as required), the puppies are partly toilet trained as they are encourage to use a piece of artificial grass that sits on top of puppy pads, all our animals sleep inside and we encourage our new fur babies…
Included with our puppies
Each pup comes with a puppy pack, which gives you all the information required to help the pup have a smooth transition to their new family.

Additional Tests
Barking Mad 4 Dogs Border Collies conducts 9 additional tests available for the Border Collie.
Genetic Test
This condition mainly affects Newfoundlands although other breeds can be affected. It is a genetic condition which results in the production of kidney and bladder stones. There is a DNA test available to confirm that breeding dogs are not carrying this condition.
Genetic Test
This is a disease affecting the spinal cord of older dogs, initially causing wobbliness and eventually hindlimb paralysis. It can affect a wide range of breeds. There is now a DNA test that can indicated if a breeding dog is carrying this disease.
Genetic Test
Goniodysgenesis is a genetic cause of ‘glaucoma’, or increased pressure in the eye. Untreated glaucoma can result in eye pain and blindness. There is a DNA test available to identify whether a breeding dog is carrying this genetic cause of glaucoma.
Genetic Test
The MDR-1 gene (Multi-drug Resistance Gene 1) is responsible for producing proteins that protect the brain from harmful chemicals. Some breeds have a mutation in this gene resulting in them being dangerously sensitive to certain chemicals and drugs. It is recommended to test these breeding dogs for the MDR-1 mutation, so they do not pass on the sensitivity to their puppies.
Genetic Test
Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis (NCL) is a neurodegenerative disorder found in many breeds of dog. 7 varieties have been identified so far, affecting different breeds. There are DNA tests for each type, to identify whether a breeding dog might be carrying this condition.
Genetic Test
Raine Syndrome, or Canine Dental Hypomineralisation, is a genetic disorder found in Border Collies, that causes their teeth to wear down abnormally fast. There is a DNA test available to identify whether a breeding dog is carrying this condition.
Genetic Test
Sensory Neuropathy is a serious genetic disease causing progressive neurological degeneration. Affected dogs develop difficulty with basic activities such as walking and swallowing and will eventually require euthanasia. There is a DNA test available to identify if a breeding dog is carrying this disease.
Genetic Test
Trapped Neutrophil Syndrome (TNS) is a genetic disease affecting Border Collies. It results in the dog’s white blood cells not being released from the bone marrow properly, meaning they cannot fight off infections. There is a DNA test available to identify whether a breeding dog is carrying this condition.
Genetic Test
Von Willebrand’s Disease (VWD/vWD) is a genetic bleeding disorder caused by a lack of a specific clotting factor. There are three forms of the disease, types 1, 2 & 3. A DNA test is available for each type of VWD to identify whether a breeding dog is a carrier or might be affected. The severity of VWD varies widely between breeds and individuals, ranging from life threatening, through to having no impact on clotting ability.
