Health

Our dogs are fed a premium diet that includes fresh food and premium dog food and our puppies transition onto that diet when they are ready to make the change. They then have their mother's milk, plus our premium diet.

Home environment

We have a large dog compound which includes an adventure playground for the puppies, so they can learn about life. When the puppies are around 5 weeks old, we then let them spend time in a grassed yard, which is about half an acre.

Why we got involved in breeding

Border Collies are such wonderful creatures, incredibly intelligent and love nothing more than to be members of your family.

Our special touch

We commence socialising our puppies at two and a half weeks, in a unique way which allows them to develop real-life skills at an early age. They spend a lot of time in a half acre grassy yard and come for walks on our property with the adult dogs. Our puppies stand out from other puppies because of this early…
