Already There 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?

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?

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.

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.

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).
