Meet the breeder

I'm Amanda F., the breeder behind Countryside Border Collies located in Chester, VT. We are focused on producing healthy, well-adjusted puppies. My Border Collies raised in our home, around our children, and on our hobby farm. Our dogs are our pets that live in our home with us. Puppies come with their first vaccinations, a vet check, health certificate, and have been dewormed. All my Dams and Sires are embark panel tested.

Q. & A. with Amanda

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I got into breeding because I fell in love with the breed and found that Border Collies are hard to find in my area. I wanted to be able to share my love of border collies and their amazing capabilities with others.
  • What makes your program special?

    All our dogs are raised in our home as pets. They play with our children (ask about how much they love to play soccer and "football" with my kids"), go out with us on hikes, and are loved in every way. All my Dams and Sires are embark panel tested to ensure healthy litters.
  • 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 black and white, blue merle, red merle, black, blue, brindle, lilac, red, and sable. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
