Sheepdog Breeding

We’ve called these pages ‘Breeding’ but it is more than this. It begins when you have decided what sort of dog will fit your enterprise.

Will you choose a ready trained dog or a puppy that you can train yourself?

You might be lucky enough to be acquainted with a well known breeder (some names will appear on these pages as the site develops) but even buying from a top source does not guarantee a brilliant outcome. But it is a good start.

As time goes along we intend to discuss some of the more usual common diseases that Border collies can attract through wonky genetics but at this stage you need to be aware that there are some eye problems – for which the registered dogs with ISDS have to be tested and some lines carry epilepsy.

Another suggestion we have is that most Sheepdog Societies have members who offer their puppies for sale but are unable to reach a large audience. We thought we might like to offer this as part of our All About Sheepdogs service and would welcome any suggestions.
