Application to PURCHASE a Border Collie puppy !
Buying a puppy should not be an easy, spur of the moment, process.
From the moment you take your little treasure home, the decision of which pup from which breeder, will affect your entire lifestyle, hopefully for the next 10 to 15 years.
Choosing the wrong pup and/or breeder, is something everyone can avoid by doing their research.
Therefore, we should both take our time, for me it is to find our special new owners and for you it should be to source the breeder who will provide the best, well reared and healthy puppy possible
and of course, offers you lifetime support if things go wrong, just like we do.
You will also appreciate that we are unable to invite you to enter into our HOME to view our puppies and sheepdogs until we know more about you.
.
PLEASE NOTE:
Please read before you contact us for Additional Information
Since the Lockdown orders were put in place in March 2020, we have been inundated with requests for puppies and even for foster dogs and older dogs. (Yes, occasionally we do have older border collie bitches looking for homes).
In 30 years of professional breeding I have NEVER known such demand for puppies.
Also if you are not prepared to sign a contract and pay the average going rate (as per classified advertisements) please do not apply.
1st August 2020= NOTICE -
SORRY, SORRY -

We are still working through applications for the Goldie and Dream litters born in June 2020,
