When choosing my Foundation dogs, I considered carefully: Health, temperament, drive, structure, workability and conformation. My dogs share my home, and they are loved dearly. I train them myself, and spend most of my time with my dogs. Because I expect them to do well in performance rings and in conformation, it is very important to me that they have the structure that allows them to be successful, the talent to perform, and health that will keep them with me for as long as possible. Mackland dogs are only bred after hip scores of A or B are confirmed, clear elbows, and DNA eye results that are guaranteed free of hereditary conditions. Shetland Sheepdogs are also cleared of Collie Eye Anomaly, Progressive Retinal Atrophy (CNGA1), Ivermectin Sensitivity MDR1, Degenerative Myleopathy, Von Willebrands Disease Type III, Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia, Gallbladder Mucoele Formation, Juvenile Dermatomyositis & Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Phosphatase Deficiency. Some new tests are being added all the time, and we try and keep up with them as far as we can! I believe that you can "have it all" with careful planning.

BORDER COLLIES Firstly, please make sure that a Border Collie is for you. You can read all about the Border Collie HERE Everything you need to know about receiving a puppy from me is on the info sheet, including price. If you have any further questions about any of the above, please CONTACT ME. APPLY HERE This will help me understand your circumstances, requirements, and interest in the Sheltie/ Border Collie. It is important that I match the right puppy to the right owner. By completing this questionnaire, it doesn't mean that you are guaranteed a puppy, but rather it helps me match my pups to their new owners! It is very important to me that my pups go to their forever homes, first time around! Once I receive your application, I will respond with a follow up email as soon as I get a chance. You will be added to my information list. When I have news on mating/ pregnancy/ scans etc, I will mail the list. At this point you will be asked if you are still interested, if you want to be removed form the list, if you have already found a puppy elsewhere, or if you want to be moved to a later list. It is recommended that you get on more than one list, but do your homework on the breeders! I do not take deposits. You will not be asked to pay anything upfront. The fee will only be due after the pups have been born, assessed, and one allocated to you. PLEASE TAKE NOTE My puppies are bred with the utmost care, with specific goals in mind, and with the strictest health considerations. No cost is spared in acquiring lines from around the world, and in the testing of my Shelties & Border Collies. I expect to get to know prospective owners, and to be able to advise them on Sheltie/ BC ownership. Questions are welcome anytime. MY STORY (click to read) "Lets not measure a breeder's success by the amount of winnings their dog does in the show ring, but by the number of dogs that stay with the family that purchased them as a puppy and that die in the arms of the same family many years later. In that case, we have three winners, the breeder, the family and most importantly, the dog." - unknown Puppy Testing |
