Meet the breeder
I'm Roxana H., the breeder behind Athena’s Collies located in Grapeview, WA. When we were pregnant with our first daughter, we decided to get a border collie as a family dog. We bought home a red mere girl who was the light of our lives and is still dearly held in our hearts. We decided to start breeding to make sure nobody ever has to go through the heartbreak of falling in love and losing your best friend too early.
Q. & A. with Roxana
Why did you start breeding?
When we were pregnant with our first daughter, we decided to get a border collie puppy as a family dog after extensive research into the best breed for us. We didn't know anything about the ABCA or any other registry for Border Collies. We found a litter for sale on craigslist for purebred border collies and were immediately hooked once we saw her photo. We keep up a tradition to now occasionally list litters on Craigslist. We knew nothing about asking for genetics paperwork or health testing or that merle colored collies can be prone to blindness or deafness if unethically bred. We brought home a red merle girl who was the light of our lives and is still dearly held in our hearts today. Over the next two years she became our child and best friend. We took Athena absolutely everywhere with us, she was the dog that would stay in formation in the mornings with my husband while he was still an active duty service member. During her short life she suffered from epilepsy and a complexity of other medical conditions. We took our anger, grief, and heartbreak and used it to make a difference. We decided to take the long road to learn about ethical and proper breeding practices. And that is how Athena's Collies was started. We decided to start breeding to make sure nobody ever has to go through the heartbreak of falling in love and losing your best friend far too early.What makes your program special?
We sold our house in 2022 and went on a 2 year journey to meet with different working line border collie breeders across the US and Canada. We spend our time reading, researching, and observing to learn as much as possible before our second daughter was born. We selectively chose the right puppies to bring into our program. We are constantly keeping an open mind and learning with each litter. We strive to breed well rounded, healthy, genetically sounds, temperamentally balanced, and socialized puppies. We are constantly striving to do better and improve our program. We socialize our puppies from the time they open their eyes to our children, ducks, chickens, geese, cats, and other dogs. They are exposed to a variety of different sounds in our home and on the farm, textured, and diets (raw, fresh, dry, wet food) prior to going home. While this is common sense to us that puppies should have age appropriate veterinary care, we pride ourselves in going above and beyond where possible. We send all of our puppies home with age appropriate vaccinations, lifetime registered microchips, individual BEAR testing, fully dewormed, an initially dose of Simpatico Trip, and a puppy starter pack home with each family.What are the different breed coat types in your program?
Our puppies include smooth and rough 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, black and white, blue merle, red merle, and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

Together, you’ll choose the puppy that’s right for you, stay in touch with regular updates, and plan how to bring your new puppy home.
Price
Puppy prices include a $250 non-refundable deposit and $1,750 final payment, before taxes & fees.
“This price includes a healthy, well rounded, and socialized in every possible aspect of their lives by the time they are ready to come home. We try our best to get as far into their basic training as possible (including potty training) to make sure they succeed in their new home. Each puppy is fully vaccinated, including rabies since our vet allows us to vaccinate all puppies early. This fee also included a copy of parents health testing, and registered microchip. Vet records will be provided. Puppies also come with food, treats, toys, and registration. We choose our sires and dams very carefully, therefore they are all the same price no matter the color or size. We do not breed for color only ability (work/ sports), and if a more "desirable" color does come out, they are the same price. We want to make sure when a deposit is made that this is a serious commitment and therefore is not refundable.”

Litter update on 21 Nov. •…Hello everyone, My apologies for the late replies to everyone. I will spend the day going through applications and getting back to everyone today. If you haven’t provided a full application explaining your experience with working breeds, explaining why you want a collie (work, companionship, sports) the soliciting will be denied. If you have a shot or incomplete application it will be denied. This is not the right breed for you if you are gone for long periods of time and need to leave your puppy in a kennel for 8-10 hours a day. As always please remember that we breed working lines. This means that they will not do well in an apartment or townhome setting. While we have had 2 very successful placements in an apartment this only works with extremely active families and is not common. Working line collies will need daily exercise both mentally and physically to be content. They are mostly bonded to one handler. Depending on who will be the primary trainer/ handler males bond better with female handlers and females bond better with male handlers. While collies train very easily and can be an amazing asset to active families, they can also become destructive if their needs are not met. We only place our collies with households that agreed to follow POSITIVE reinforcement and training methods. This breed does not reply well otherwise and can easily become withdrawn, fearful, or even aggressive in extreme cases. ***If you haven’t done any research on the breed and have no experience your application will also be denied.*** We give priority to past buyers that we have successfully placed a puppy with. Puppies will need an age gap of at least 12 months. We DO NOT sell two puppies to any household at a time since littermate syndrome is common in the breed and can easily be avoided. We also give priority to those looking for a working dog and have a farm on acreage. If you have a small yard you will need to take your puppy on daily outings once they have become FULLY vaccinated at 16 weeks of age. Our collies love activities like working sheep/ cattle, barn hunt, swimming, running, hiking, etc. If you only have a back yard please make sure you have the time to go on daily long runs with your dog, hike weekly, go to the beach, and provide daily training. We like to learn details about the families that our puppies are placed with, such as activity level, children, what you do for a living, etc. Please free to join our private Facebook group to see updates. References can be provided upon request. Please reach out if any questions pop up!

Litter update on 21 Nov. •…Hello everyone, As we get closer to all the puppy go-home dates I wanted to make an update about products that we recommend. I remember when we got our first puppy (Athena), I was very overwhelmed with what she would need once we brought her home. From the overwhelming food choices, to kennels, training tools, to durable toys. Here is a list of what I would recommend after raising dozens of puppies to adulthood. We only accept 1/5 dogs into our program after maticulous health, temperament, and work ability testing. We’ve definitely been through the puppy stage many times. ***As always, please remember that we are always here to support our puppies from the point of application to the lifetime of your puppy. *** This post will also contain some helpful tips and tricks with things like potty training, grooming products, and products that will help make things easier (especially for new puppy owners). I would appreciate if everyone can take a look at this post since I am getting a lot of questions; and thought it would be better if everyone had a chance to get the same information. I have links and screenshot of everything attached to this update. For 7 years now we have been boarding dogs for a living and have a lot of experience with different foods/ products. If you have any specific questions please shoot me a message. I will do my best to respond in a timely manner. For starters please make a VETRINARY appointment for your puppy WITHIN 5 DAYS of bringing them home. While we will have all puppies fully health checked by our vet, vaccinated, microchipped, and dewormed; we want everyone to have their puppies setup early with their new vet of choice early on. Please do your own health check that first week. Everyone gets their last 3 day deworming packets and a Simparica Trio prior prior to pickup. This will prevent worms, heart worms, ticks, and fleas for ONLY 30 DAYS. I highly recommend the preventative prescription to be continue once you get established with your new veterinarian. The puppies will be sent home with a blanket, a durable toy, a large bag of their current food, treats, and a large go home packet with a hard copy of all the files you will need. The packet includes the signed breeders contract, OFA results, genetic results, vaccination records, and health records from our veterinarian. The puppies spend the first 4-6 weeks with their momma and therefore may have some separation anxiety leaving mom and their litter mates. You may go through a short stage of puppy crying while kennel training. They will go from being around their littermates to possibly a single dog household. Here are some products that may help distract them and help them feel better with the transition. **SCREEN SHOTS OF ALL RECOMMENDATIONS ARE ATTACHED** since links don't go through via these updates SEPERATION ANXITY: Purina Pro Plan Calming Care for anxiety https://a.co/d/gfHORf6 Original Snuggle Puppy Toy for anxiety https://a.co/d/dRSkpOw This product is a huge hit with almost all of our puppy buyers and is highly recommended. Frozen peanut butter in a Kong toy will keep them distracted and happy for hours. This will also help with kennel training so they know and learn that their kennel is their private safe space. It is critically important that you teach your border collie puppy from a young age to have a good "off switch.” Kennel training is necessary to have a well trained dog in general and to make life easier for you. They may be kenneled in a boarding facility, at the vet, and a variety of other scenarios. This will make life easier for you and your puppy. TRAINING We highly recommend you crate train your puppy. We will send a blanket that we have mom and litter mates lay on the night prior added to each puppy pack. The snuggle puppy toy can also help them settle into their new home. I also added screen shots of our preferred kennels (car, indoor, and outdoor). Would also recommend a good car liner for any accidents either in the back seats or cargo space. The big metal one will prevent serious injury if your puppy is a chewer. The holes are too small for puppy or adults teeth to get stuck and no way for their collar to become stuck either. Training treats are a must. A lot of puppy parents make their own. But if you buy them this "Zuke's natural mini naturals" work great. They are very small so you can make sure you aren’t filling them up with treats to the point that they don't want to eat their food later. DO NOT USE PUPPY PADS. They are terrible and will not help potty train your puppy. It will just teach them that they are allowed to potty inside the house. With us, we give them their food outside. Puppies will potty the second they have water or food. So feed them outside, and hold water overnight while they sleep in their kennel. This is the easiest way to achieve quick potty training at a young age. They will need at least one potty break overnight (every 3-4 hours) so this may feel like having a newborn in the house. Only give your puppy water outside to prevent accidents. FOOD RECOMMENDATIONS #1 recommendations will always be raw food. For complete 80/20 raw we highly recommend raw paws. You can also look around and do your own research. #2 there is nothing wrong with dry kibble. I attached a picture of what the puppies are currently eating, and you will be sent home with more than enough to slowly transition your puppy slowly to their next diet. If you decided to give your puppy a different food, we highly recommend Inukshuk. As always, make a slow transition. I attached a picture of the formula we recommend. You can also continue with their their current food (purple bag). #3 recommendation will be cooked or "fresh" diet that can involve some fruites or veggies added. Just Food For Dogs is a great brand but there are many others. These are many food choices, so please do your research and use trial and error since each puppy is different. GROOMING: Depending on your puppies coat as they grow you'll need to brush their hair. Starting early so they are comfortable with brushing will make your life easier so you can brush them as adults. l attached a picture of the shampoo we've been using for over a decade. It's a great shampoo to remove stains and smells off of your dogs coat while still moisturizing their skin. Please reach out to me if any questions pup up!

Program update on 17 July •…This afternoon we had to rush our girl Anastasia (mom to the older litter of 13) to the hospital. She was out on her run when she got stung by a wasps (several times) by the time we noticed and got her out. I want to warn everyone brining their puppies home within the next few days/ weeks. Especially those with property/ acreage that will let their puppies roam. Even if under supervision, a wasp sting can quickly happened. If you see wasps nests, completely spray them down or get a professional company to spray the property. And make sure they go into any forested areas instead of just checking the main house/ garage areas. MULTIPLE STINGS WILL CAUSE A PUPPY TO GO INTO IMMEDIATE ANAPHYLACTIC SHOCK. I would hate to see any of these beautiful families that our puppies are going home to suffer the loss of their puppy.

Program update on 27 June •…As we approach go-home dates for the puppies I wanted to share what dry puppy food everyone is currently on. I still add powdered milk replacement for added nutrition. And fish oil in every batch of food. Everyone will be provided with a gallon ziplock baggie of food so puppies can be slowly switched to something different with no upset tummies. Our #1 recommendation will always be full raw food (including raw veggies, eggs, and small amount of fruit) Here is a link to prepared raw dog food that we’ve had a great experience with: https://www.rawpawspetfood.com/serving-size-calculator-s/153.htm Our #2 recommendation if dry food works best (can purchase via chewy) is the Inukshuk professional performance dog food marine 26/16 formula Don’t forget the fish oil

This marks the seventh week since Panda joined our family! Roxana is a responsible breeder—she provided all the required vaccination documents and even shared Panda’s family tree when we picked Panda up. Panda is a smart, healthy, and cheerful addition to our home. I would definitely recommend getting Border Collies from Roxana!

Cait is doing fine. We have a fairly large backyard. In the morning I walk the perimeter of the yard several times. Cait does twice as many laps, usually at full speed. House training is going fine. We will keep her confined to the kitchen for a couple more months to make sure the habit is engrained. A couple pictures are attached. Cait likes to play on the lawn sprinkle.

Roxana and Athena's Collies are amazing. She posted regular updates, kept me informed and shared photos of our puppy as he grew. She made the process easy and has kept in touch since we picked him up. The puppies are very well cared for, and their parents are well-bred. Our puppy has a very classic Broder Collie look, perfect health and our veterinarian is extremely pleased. Athena's Collies are extremely responsible with the health and well-being of their puppies. I highly recommend their breeding program.

Roxana runs a clean, well-organized facility and clearly puts so much love into raising her pups. Her two little girls did a wonderful job helping socialize Nando, who is now a perfect gentleman with kids. We just finished a two-week road trip and he was an excellent traveler—friendly with everyone, adaptable, and calm when left alone. Couldn’t ask for a better start in life for our pup. Highly recommend!

Roxana was wonderful. She has a deep dedication to preserving a top notch line of pure bred Border Collies. Her family were all involved in the care of the puppies. They exposed them to lots of love from her children and noises from the outdoors. This has helped create a more confident puppy. Our puppy Ruby is wonderful and very smart. We are 100% happy with the experience we had with Roxana.

Roxana was very responsive, kept us updated on puppy’s progress, and even invited us for weekend visits. Our puppy, Rudy, is absolutely the everything and more that we couldn’t have asked for. Will definitely be going to her to bring home a friend for Rudy :-)
