Gaines Working Border Collies I'm a small scale breeder of Working Border Collies and selectively breed 1-2 litters per year. Notice I said "working" and not show lines Border Collies. The dog works for the "Master" of the land. It's the Border Collie's job to move sheep, chickens, cows, horses, or other items in an attempt to save farming time. When it comes to having an animal with the drives and temperament to do "real" work, show lines just can't cut it in my book! Mine are registered through the American Border Collie Association (ABCA). It's my opinion that working dogs should be registered through a working registry, one that focuses on the working abilities of the canine and not the aesthetics of the animal. Looks are nice but can they get the job done? Gaines Border Collies are bred for a medium rough coat and have medium build. Weights ranges between 30 to 45 pounds with males being slightly heavier and taller. I like stockdogs with DRIVE and strive to produce biddible puppies in the colors of the classic black and white, tricolor, white and red, and sometimes predominately white. Due to the economic conditions this area and the nation are facing and because we are not a puppy mill, I don't have any Border Collies available. In addition, none are planned for 2012.  Lifetime Member of the American Border Collie Association Happy to watch me work, Split's on the job! We serve them up FARM STYLE.
Busting Out! We don't keep puppies long... NOTICE: We have no Border Collie puppies, trained or started dogs, or Border Collie rescues. No Border Collie litters are planned for 2012. In addition, we're no longer offering herding lessons or herding instinct testing. Thanks to the economy and the price of small grains and hay which are needed for sheep.
