Other important information
Updates and photos
We will do our best to send photos or videos once a week. We spend hours a day caring for our dogs and puppies , and we have emails, phone calls , and messages daily that also keep us busy. We know that you Are excited to see progress of your puppy growing and learning new things, and we will do our best to keep lots of videos and photos sent weekly!
Visitors
We do not allow visits until pups are ready to go to their new homes. This is to prevent our mama's from becoming stressed , and to protect young pups from getting sick (Our Vet's Recommendation). We will send videos of puppies available and at your request, can do face-time or additional videos of our program facility, so you can see our home, our adult dogs or pups. When you come to pick up your puppy at our facility, you will meet both parents. We have a facebook page that has many albums of photos , where you can see our dogs and our program.
Suggested Items to purchase for your new pup
Pet Safe Wireless system
We Love using the wireless system by Pet Safe! This unit keeps your dog close to the home and keeps him safe from chasing things and animals ! It adjusts to different perimeters and is easy to use. There are no wires to bury and it takes minutes to install And only a day or two for training ! ( I can train a dog to it in about an hour!)
Crate
A crate will be his special place to go to be alone or sleep or be kept safe when not being watched. Also a great tool for potty training! My absolute favorite is the "Diggs" Evolv crate.
Stainless steel Dishes
We like to use stainless dishes from ”Midwest “ company, that screw onto the crate. They can’t be dumped !
Lik-it dog water dispenser
These are great! If you leave your dog in his crate overnight , this is a great way to offer him water.
Toys
Bones
Border Collies love to play! Make sure you have lots of toys to offer them . They especially love tennis balls and frisbee!
Bones
Bones
Real Bones, not rawhide, are best ! Bones keep them busy and are great for their teeth.
Collar and leash

Collar and leash
A good fitting collar is important. Most pups are 8-10 pounds when they go home. Your puppy can learn to walk on a leash as soon as you get him home. There are also many nice harness sets as well.
Adopt or Shop?
We support and encourage adoption of all pets, but adopting a pet from a rescue isn't for everyone.
Why Adopt from a Reputable breeder? Certain dogs have unique traits. Purebred dogs carry those unique traits , so you know what you are getting. Adopting from a good breeder has many pros:
1. You will have the help from the breeder
2. You will have a home for your dog if you ever cant keep him , or help to re-home him.
3. You will have a dog that has been specifically bred for certain traits that you are looking for ( herding, hunting, guard dog, lazy pet, etc)
4. Your dog will have a pedigree , where you can see who his ancestors are.
5. Your dog will be well cared for and loved since birth, being well socialized and given appropriate vaccines and deworming.
6. Your dog will have parents that have been health tested for genetic disorders, so you know they cant be passed on.
7. A good breeder will only breed the best examples of the breed, and will get the females fixed if they are not high quality.
8. Registered Dogs can compete in Agility , shows, and other sports.
9. You can check the breeder's references
10. You can meet the parents or see videos of the parents to see how they interact with people.
11. There will be less chance of a purchased dog ending up in a shelter.
