ABCA Border Collies
Border Collies are extremely intelligent herding dogs first bred to work sheep. They will herd anything that moves and are also excellent agility and sport dogs. They are very loyal and aim to please! More than anything they want to spend time with you! These are not a dog to sit around the house all day and be happy with a 10 min walk. They need an outlet for both their physical and mental energy be that herding, jogging with their owner, frisbee, agility, learning tricks, etc. They are gentle and loving and great with kids! We have had many different breeds over the years, but I will never again be without a Border Collie! They are incredible dogs that have become an integral part of our family and farm!

Tae is probably our strongest working female. She has a ton of ability, natural outrun, and will work all day if you let her. She also is an absolute sweetheart who loves everyone she meets, especially babies and toddlers. She searches them out and melts with their “rough love”.

Louise is our lowest drive female. She still has good natural herding ability, but she really just wants to be a part of whatever it is we are doing. She prefers to work the sheep/goats and also try’s hard to herd the cats 🐈 🐈⬛ although they pretty much just ignore her now. 🤣 She loves people and snuggles. Loves adventures but also happy to lay around if we are just home. Gets along well with other dogs. A favorite of everyone she meets with her sweet spirit.

Ross is a neutered Thor x Tae pup we raised that came back to up from his previous owners. We had planned to do some training and rehome him, but we all fell in love. He will be with us for life and is one of our very best friends. We are so blessed by him!

Daisy is such a fun girl who has our highest toy drive. She loves working on agility and picks up on things so quickly! She also loves the frisbee! She is a busy girl that just wants to be a part of whatever it is we are doing. She will work any of the livestock, big or small, and her favorite spot in the car is the passenger seat if empty so she can watch the road.
