Q. & A. with Carrilea

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My husband and I have always loved ranching and working with animals. We were drawn to Border Collies for their intelligence, loyalty, and natural instincts around livestock. What began as a desire for dependable ranch companions grew into a passion for raising this wonderful breed and sharing our love for Border Collies with families looking for a loyal, loving companion.

  • What makes your program special?

    Our program focuses on health, temperament, and raising well-rounded Border Collies for active families. Our breeding dogs are health tested, and our puppies receive hands-on attention, early socialization, and exposure to everyday ranch life. We take pride in helping each family find a puppy whose personality fits their lifestyle and providing a strong foundation for a lifetime of companionship.

  • 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 blue merle, red merle, black, blue, lilac, red, saddleback sable, and slate. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

    This was a seamless and completely relaxed process! Carrilea did an outstanding job of describing and photographing our new family addition. Carrilea was always quick to respond to our questions and we never felt any pressure to decide. Pick up was easy and our new little boy is health, happy and very handsome. We have only had him a little over 24 hours but he is settling in well and enjoying his new farm. He had his vet check this afternoon and passed with flying colors. Thank you Carrilea.

    My experience with Carrilea was great! We were so grateful to find such a kind and knowledgeable breeder that was able to help us find exactly what we were looking for! The communication was excellent throughout the entire process, and I received regular updates about my puppy. I highly recommend C Bar C Ranch Border Collies!

    Man let me tell you. Carrilea was great. She helped me pick out the perfect pup that aligned with my desires. She was super responsive and polite. The dog, “Rolo”, is so sweet and wonderful.

    Carrilea was very responsive and answered all of my questions and concerns. She also sent clear videos and photos that really showed our puppy's look and temperament, which gave us confidence before bringing her home. Our puppy also came with all of her paperwork and documentation, making the process smooth and organized. Our puppy has been sweet, calm, and well-adjusted. She slept through the car ride home, went potty in the yard on her first day, and hardly whined when we walked away. She settles down easily and is such a happy, content puppy. She even follows me around the yard without needing a leash. She also met our cats right away, and the introduction went smoothly—no chasing, just some curious sniffing before everyone gave each other space. Overall, bringing her home has been so much easier and less chaotic than we expected. We absolutely love her temperament and couldn't be happier with our experience.

    Thank you Carrilea for our sweet wonderful boy, Foxy! You were incredible with updates and photos whilst we counted down the weeks to getting him and helped us with logistics to get him home. He is so calm, cuddly, potty trained in two days and came crate trained! He’s phased by nothing and is just an absolute cuddly joy! Needles to say he knows no stranger and all fall madly in love with him. THANK YOU for our fluffy boy!

    We were so excited to meet our new puppy from C Bar C Ranch! From the first moment we met her we were in love. We named our beautiful girl Ella. She is such a smart girl. We are beyond happy with the business. Even so far that I recommend Carrilea to one of our vet techs. Ella has already grown so much in just a couple of weeks and learning so much. We will definitely keep in the loop of her progression into a beautiful smart border collie. Thank you so much Carrilea!
