4 Panel N/N. Herda Hrd/N. We can’t wait to get him tuned up under saddle and raise some incredible tobiano performance offspring by him! We are a dog loving family and have had many different breeds over the years. We love them all, however we will never again be without a Border Collie. They are our constant shadows. They will herd/work anything that moves (from the horses and cattle, goats, to the cats and chickens), loyal to a fault, and are excellent with our young kids. Our puppies are born and raised in our home. We start them with Early Neurologic Stimulation and they continue to be exposed to the love and noise of a young family. Starting at 4 weeks they get daily time outside exploring the yard/farm and meeting cats, other dogs, goats, and seeing larger livestock, horses and cows, although they are not allowed close for safety sake. They are a part of our home and family during their time with us. Our pups tend to be very confident and well socialized. We do everything we can to give them their best start to excel in their homes with their families. Their pups make excellent family dogs that would excel in herding, agility, fly ball, disk, dock diving, barn hunt, other dog sports, obedience, service dogs, and active family companions. Our puppies are dewormed every 2 weeks, get flea/tick preventative at 6 weeks, receive their first round of vaccinations at 7 weeks, have a vet health exam, come with full ABCA registration, and a puppy gift bag which includes a bag of their food, treats, toys, leash, blanket etc. Check out our website for more information, pedigrees, health testing results, etc.
