Meet the breeder

I'm Janet, the breeder behind Collie Wood Hills located in Gadsden, AL. I focus on giving each puppy a strong start so they’re ready for any lifestyle. All puppies receive daily hands-on interaction, Early Neurological Stimulation, early socialization, and potty mat training. They are AKC registered and I provide weekly updates throughout their development.

Q. & A. with Janet

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My love for Border Collies is what led me into breeding. I wanted to share everything I love about the breed—their loyalty, intelligence, and heart—while raising puppies the right way, with hands-on care and thoughtful early development.

  • What makes your program special?

    Our breeding program is special because of the care and attention we give to raising healthy, happy, and trainable Border Collies. From the start, puppies receive hands-on care, ENS, and early socialization to build confidence and adaptability. We focus on setting each puppy up for a smooth transition into their new family and share regular photo and video updates so families can follow along.

  • 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 tri-color, gold merle, lilac merle, blue merle, red merle, gold, lilac, and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    I cannot speak more highly of Janet & Collie Wood Hills! We chose our puppy, Ghibli, from them and have been so impressed with everything. The adoption process was easy, Janet was informative and shared weekly photos & videos, and the pick up was so smooth. Ghibli is amazingly smart, picked up on all his training very quickly, and our vet/trainer even say you can tell his breeder was amazing based on his health and temperament. He's made our family so happy and complete. He's gorgeous, fun, snuggly, and just the perfect fit!! Thank you so much Janet & Collie Wood Hills for making this decision the best one we could have ever made!

    I've owned BCs before and Janet has provided a simple easy way to get a classic well tempered even keeled puppy. My puppy named Tuckerman made easy adjustments when he arrived thanks to the early life exposure from Janet. Collie wood hills is supreme in BC breeding....possibly coming back to maybe get Tuckerman a Lil buddy. Thank you Janet for all you do for making people and puppies unite for forever homes.

    If I could give Janet more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. We brought home Violet from Collie Wood Hills, and she has exceeded every expectation we had. She is the sweetest, most loving puppy with the most incredible temperament. You can truly tell she was raised with so much love and care. From the very beginning, Janet made the entire experience exceptional. She kept us updated every week—often multiple times a week—with photos and videos, and she was always available to answer any questions we had. She was completely transparent throughout the entire process, which gave us so much confidence. When our flight nanny’s flight was unexpectedly canceled, Janet didn’t hesitate to keep Violet a little longer so everything could be worked out. She was incredibly accommodating and genuinely cared about making sure Violet arrived safely and stress-free. Janet is everything you hope to find in a breeder: knowledgeable, honest, responsive, and deeply committed to her puppies. We couldn’t be happier with our experience, and we will absolutely be getting another puppy from her in the future. Thank you, Janet, for giving us such an amazing addition to our family!

    We had a wonderful experience from start to finish with Janet. Our puppy is healthy, confident, and has such a sweet, affectionate personality. It’s clear she was raised with a lot of love, care, and attention. The breeder was always kind, responsive, and happy to answer our questions. We also appreciated the updates, photos, and all the helpful information we received before bringing our puppy home. Mika has adjusted so well to our family, and we couldn’t be happier with her. We highly recommend this breeder to anyone looking for a well-socialized, healthy, and happy Border Collie. Thank you for giving us such an amazing new family member!

    We couldn’t be happier with our puppy or with our experience with Janet. From the moment we brought him home, it was so clear how much love, time, and intention she poured into her puppies. Our little guy Minnow is confident, affectionate, and absolutely adores humans. His health is fantastic, and you can tell he came from a breeder who truly prioritizes responsible care and early development. He’s also been amazing with our other pets from day one. You can see that he was raised in a nurturing environment where early socialization really mattered. We are beyond grateful to have found such a thoughtful breeder. If you’re looking for a puppy who’s been raised with genuine care, this is the breeder you want.
