Meet the breeder

I'm Kristen S., the breeder behind Cedar Springs Corgis/Border collies located in Rockbridge Baths, VA. We breed for temperament, conformation, health, and intelligence. Our dogs are family. We do our best to socialize each puppy and give them ample opportunities to experience different things such as children, vacuums, cows, chickens, cats, horses. As soon as their little legs can manage, they are allowed to go to the garden and barn with me. My husband is in charge of couch time with the pups.

Q. & A. with Kristen

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I love the breed and feel that there is a need for reputable, conscientious breeders to keep the breed healthy and good-tempered while adhering to the standards of the breed.
  • What makes your program special?

    We breed selectively and carefully. Only dogs that we feel offer the best qualities of the Corgi are bred. We do health screening to ensure healthy pups that can have a healthy, long life with their new family. My pups are crate trained or well on the way before they leave my home.
  • What are the different breed coat types in your program?

    Border Collie puppies have rough coats. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our Pembroke Welsh Corgi puppies include red and black and tan. Border Collie puppies are black and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Getting a puppy from Kristen

Kristen has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.

Kristen partners with buyers to find the best match as the puppies develop and their personalities take shape. Typically, matches are finalized when the puppies reach about 10 weeks old.

“Border Collies are very active dogs. My dogs are from working parents so I would like pups that show working instinct to go to working homes, preferably with livestock. We understand that some people will want a Border Collie for other purposes and try to match the pups accordingly.”

Price

Puppy prices include between $800 - $1,000 final payment, before taxes & fees.

“Puppies have 2 sets of shots and clear fecal. Started crate and leash training.”
