About Snap
Snap is a pocket rocket with high drive and an excellent off switch. She is stable and confident in all environments, and always eager to try something new, but still happy to spend off time in the house!
Finch, dad
Border Collie
About Finch
Finch is a dog anyone would be lucky to have in their program. He is an excellent competition dog in dock diving, agility, air retrieve, and makes an excellent herding dog. When not competing or training, Finch enjoys being a household companion.
He is a biddable higher drive dog, with medium food drive, an excellent off switch, nice style on stock, and a confidence and eagerness to try anything thrown in front of him.

Parent health testing
Breeder-Reported Testing
Excellent level
Cathedral Border Collies reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Border Collies.
Hip Dysplasia
Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)
Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
Patellar Luxation
Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.
Shoulder Osteochondrosis, Congenital Deafness (BAER, registered with OFA)
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
Early Adult Onset Deafness (EAOD), DNA Disease Panel
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).
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
