Already There Border Collies

Celena C.

Breeder of Border Collies

Meet the breeder

I'm Celena C., the breeder behind Already There Border Collies located in Paso Robles, CA. I am a small, in-home breeder of ABCA puppies. I have a single breeding pair of health tested dogs. They are first and foremost part of our family. Puppies are born and raised in our home. My favorite part of being a breeder is handing over a puppy to their new family. I strive to produce happy, healthy puppies that new families can enjoy as much as I do.

Q. & A. with Celena

Why did you start breeding?
I absolutely love the breed and enjoy raising puppies for others to enjoy as much as I do.
What makes your program special?
I'm a small in-home breeder. Our puppies are born and raised in our home. Our dogs stay with us throughout their lives, regardless of breeding status. Having purchased 5 puppies online over the years I understand the anxiety that comes with buying a puppy on the internet. I'm committed to making the process as seamless, safe and secure as possible.
What are the different breed coat types in your program?
Our puppies include rough and smooth coat varieties. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include tri-color and brindle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Parent dogs

Naci, mom
Border Collie
About Naci
Naci is a medium rough coat, dark brindle color. She is highly food motivated and eager to do anything. She learns quickly and is high drive. She settles right down in the house, however. She is very gentle when around our cats. She has been started on agility, but we do not compete. She is the loyal companion and side kick for my husband who likes to take her wherever he goes. She loves to fetch frisbees and balls, but especially frisbees. She also loves to play in water.
Great health testing
DNA Disease Panel, Hip Dysplasia Finals (OFA, PennHIP, BVA, SV, FCI).
Ta Kosh, dad
Border Collie
About Ta Kosh
Ta Kosh is a black, white, tan tri-color, pie bald. He has a smooth coat. He loves to fetch balls and runs like the wind. He settles right down while riding in the car or inside the house. He likes to snuggle up and have his belly rubbed. He goes on trail rides with me as well as out to eat at outdoor dining. He has been started on agility, but we do not compete. He is an astute learner and we continue to train at home on a variety of skills.

DNA Disease Panel
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
