Meet the breeder

I'm Thomas B., the breeder behind Border Hollow Border Collies located in Meridian, MS. I am passionate about raising well-rounded pups who will excel in any venue with their new families. I offer top-quality puppies from carefully planned litters. I focus on temperament, soundness, and beauty. My dogs are family members first and foremost. I am passionate about the work I do and truly love my dogs.

Q. & A. with Thomas

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My puppies’ health and wellbeing are my main priorities. I commit to devoting my time, energy, and efforts to each litter to ensure my puppies are properly socialized from the moment they are born and prepared to excel throughout life's adventures.
  • What makes your program special?

    My dogs are bred to produce healthy, sound, and versatile pups. My ultimate goal is to produce athletic and well-structured canines that can excel within various performance venues and have the ability to be the greatest family companions. As a breeder, I feel a sense of responsibility to prioritize the overall health and temperament of each of my puppies and to ensure that they are loved and well cared for before joining their forever homes. Each pup is raised inside my home where it can be evaluated and socialized before leaving.
  • 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 lilac merle, blue merle, black, red, white and blue, white and blue merle, seal, and slate. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Working with Mr Thomas was a wonderful experience. He was extremely knowledgeable on the breed & helped us pick the perfect pup. My husband and I are just over a month married & live on his family farm. He wanted a dog as a companion and help on the farm! Our little collie has been perfect & is having so much fun. We love him so much and are so appreciative of Mr Thomas!

    Dixie is doing great, getting booster shot today. She will be able to go out in public and meet people. Still waiting for paper work on her.

    Thomas was beyond helpful and accommodating throughout the entire process. He responded quickly when messaged and always provided more info than I asked for which really made me feel confident about the quality of his breeding operation and the health of his pups. He was very transparent about his pricing, the handoff went smoothly and he was more than willing to share his wide breadth of knowledge about how best to care for the new pup with me. Lastly, he has followed up on numerous occasions asking if I has any more questions and checking in on the pups progress. I could not recommend Thomas and Borer Hollow Border Collies more strongly, a man who knows and loves his animals, a true professional.

    Thomas was great throughout the entire process. He has more than proven to be extremely knowledgeable about this breed, kind, and responsive. He was very quick to respond to any questions we had while also providing updates (pictures, videos) of her growth and progress. It is evident that he cares deeply about his dogs and their pups as he invites, welcomes, and appreciates updates on how our pup has been adjusting to her new home. Also, he has contributed sound advice on what we can do to make the transition as smooth as possible for Fly. We could not have asked for a better experience with Thomas and Borderhollow Border Collies.

    Border Hollow and Tommy are the only breeder I will get a pup from. All 3 of my girls are happy, healthy, funny and well socialized. As you can see the newest addition fits right in and loves to play and snuggle. She herds and plays ball. Smart, learned lay and sit and to sit pretty for treats in a matter of minutes. House broke and only 10 weeks old. Thank you Tommy for my sweet girls.
