Our Mission: Our goal is to breed, promote, and train dogs that are competitive from novice all the way to the National Finals, while still being indispensible on the farm or ranch. In addition to drive, heart, and athleticism, we believe that good temperament is imperative and work to enhance these qualities in all dogs.

Whether you are searching for a chore partner or a field trial champion, let us help you find or train the Border Collie that meets your needs.
