Q. & A. with Quinne

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Border Collies are smart and hard working with a great balance of gentle and loving at the same time. Certain pedigrees have been intentionally bred in a manner that produces proven personalities and qualities both in your home and on the farm. After we got Luna, our first Border Collie and experienced her personality and abilities, we began researching breeding. We fell in love with genetics!

  • What makes your program special?

    We care about our puppies and almost always stay in contact with their new families after they go home. We work hard to set them up for success in their lives by socializing and loving on them while they are with us. We use Puppy Culture through Madcap University to prepare your puppies for life with you. Our experience, compassion, and living situation guarantee a healthy and well-balanced puppy.

  • 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, red merle, black, lilac, red, white and red, and white and red merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Quinn has been great. Several times I’ve messaged her with questions and she’s always answered and has been helpful with advice. I’ve never owned a border collie before. They tend to be a little more hyper than other breeds and she has been good to give me advice over the past month.

    Excellent! Great communication, Quinne responded almost immediately to every e-mail. Our puppy, Bean, is the smartest puppy with incredible manners, intuition and personality.

    We had a great experience getting our Border Collie from Quinne! She was super helpful and communicative from the start, sending us updates and photos while we waited for our pup. You can tell she really cares about her dogs and puts in the time to raise them well. Our Maisy came home happy, healthy, and well-socialized — such a sweet and smart little girl. We’re so happy with our new family member and would definitely recommend Quinne to anyone looking for a Border Collie!

    We absolutely love our new pup Keeva (formerly Chai)! She is outgoing, confident, and such a sweet girl, she’s everything I was looking for in my next Border Collie. Quinne was amazing to work with, she answered all of my questions, sent frequent picture and video updates, and was so helpful in organizing everything to get our puppy to us. You can tell how much she truly cares for her puppies. Even after Keeva came home, she checked in to see how things were going, which meant so much to us. Thank you, Quinne, for such a wonderful experience and for entrusting us with Keeva!

    We brought our happy and healthy puppy home from Cullins Collies and couldn’t be more pleased and excited. Quinne was exactly what we were looking for in a breeder. She was knowledgeable, responsive and patient. Clear and consistent communication from the beginning— she even checked in after we got home. We received regular photo and video updates that made us feel connected and excited while we waited for our puppy to come home. Our girl came home confident, well-socialized, and already familiar with crate training and the foundations of good behavior thanks to the Puppy Culture program. You can tell she was raised with care and intention. We are grateful for their professionalism, kindness, and dedication to their dogs. If you’re looking for a healthy, well-bred Border Collie with the right early start, we highly recommend Cullins Collies! And a huge thanks for the extremely generous goody bag that helped make the transition smooth and easy!

    We can’t thank Quinne enough for bringing Ketty into our lives! We were initially very hesitant to adopt a Border Collie as our first pet. But Quinne carefully breeds the most gentle and loving yet smart and agile Border Collies. At the nine month mark we couldn’t be happier with Ketty in our lives - so sweet and sensitive yet fiercely demanding of her frisbee routine everyday :) Our lives now revolve around Ketty and we wouldn’t take it any other way! Quinne was incredibly accommodating of letting us pick up at 10 weeks well after her smartly curated 8 week puppy enrichment curriculum had ended. We flew in to meet Kettys lovely parents (Tag and Luna) and brought her home under a flight seat, nary a peep from our dear Ketty. That is when we knew that this was a girl who was mature beyond her years! Started sleeping in her crate right away and was also extremely well adjusted to being driven around in a car (her favorite activity is to herd cars as if they are sheep haha) There’s so much more that we love about Ketty and we are extremely grateful to Quinne for letting us feel and nurture firsthand what unconditional love, trust and acceptance is in the form of Ketty!
