Frequently Asked Questions

What is the average price of a Border Collie puppy?

Our Border Collie puppies typically range from $1,200 to $2,000 depending on pedigree, markings, and other factors. This includes initial vaccinations, health check, and microchipping.

At what age can the puppies go to their new homes?

Our puppies are ready to join their forever homes at 8 weeks of age. By this time, they have been weaned, started socialization, and received their first veterinary check-up and vaccinations.

Do you provide health guarantees for your puppies?

Yes, we offer a comprehensive health guarantee for all our puppies. Each puppy undergoes a thorough health examination by a licensed veterinarian before going to their new home. We guarantee against genetic disorders for a specified period.

Are Border Collies good with children and other pets?

When properly socialized, Border Collies are excellent with children and other pets. They are intelligent and adaptable dogs. However, their herding instinct may sometimes lead them to try to "herd" small children or other pets, which can be managed with proper training.

How much exercise does a Border Collie need?

Border Collies are high-energy dogs that require substantial daily exercise—at least 1-2 hours of vigorous activity. This should include walks, runs, and mentally stimulating activities like agility training or puzzle toys.

What kind of diet do you recommend for Border Collies?

We recommend high-quality dog food formulated for active breeds. The exact amount depends on the dog's age, size, and activity level. We provide detailed dietary guidelines and a starter pack of food with each puppy.

Do you ship puppies to other states?

Yes, we safely ship our puppies nationwide through trusted pet transportation services. We also offer pickup options for local customers. All shipping arrangements are made with the puppy's safety and comfort as our top priority.

Can I visit your facility to see the puppies?

Yes, we encourage potential owners to visit our facility by appointment. This allows you to see our breeding environment, meet the puppy's parents, and interact with the puppies. We follow strict health protocols to protect our dogs.

What is your process for reserving a puppy?

To reserve a puppy, we require a deposit and a completed application form. The deposit is applied toward the total price and secures your chosen puppy. We'll then keep you updated with photos and progress reports until your puppy is ready to come home.

Are your puppies registered with the American Kennel Club (AKC)?

Yes, all our puppies come with AKC registration papers. Both parents are also AKC registered. We provide all necessary documentation at the time of adoption.

How do I prepare my home for a Border Collie puppy?

We recommend puppy-proofing your home by securing electrical cords, removing toxic plants, and setting up a safe space with a crate, bed, and toys. You should also have food and water bowls, high-quality puppy food, a collar and leash, and grooming supplies ready.

Do you offer training advice for new owners?

Absolutely! We provide comprehensive care instructions and are available for ongoing support. We also recommend puppy training classes and can suggest positive reinforcement techniques that work well with the Border Collie's intelligent and eager-to-please nature.
