Breese Border Collies
Meet the breeder
I'm Elle K., the breeder behind Breese Border Collies located in Lima, OH. We decided to start a responsible, in-home breeding program in order to produce quality working dogs that also fit into a home setting. These dogs can do it all, and we make sure to foster that versatility in our puppies beginning from the moment they're born utilizing puppy culture protocol.
Q. & A. with Elle
Why did you start breeding?
I started a goose hazing business and needed more quality, health tested dogs to ensure a long working capability for my dogs. I wanted versatility in being able to be a companion on the couch as well as a dog capable of working 8 hour shifts. From there, sports titles, additional sports lessons, extra health testing and research led me to breeding.What makes your program special?
I raise a mix of sports and working border collies inside of my home with love and care. I pride myself in transparency of raising the pups by videoing every session to show the growth and potential in each pup. It allows puppy owners to form a bond to their puppy before going home to them.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black, brindle, red, and sable. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

About Walrus
Walrus is my keeper pup from Cephus x Finnley breeding. He is a medium bone with a medium coat. He is started on stock with a keen eye with balance of pressure and respect of livestock. He has trialed in the Bluegrass Classic in the novice class and is set to trial more this year. His sire is a National champion in agility. His grandparents are search and rescue trained dogs. His dam's side is full of International Supreme Champion herding trialing dogs. He is going to be a great mix of sports and herding with hopes of producing versatile puppies in his future.
