Czechmate Border Collies
Meet the breeder
I'm Lisa P., the breeder behind Czechmate Border Collies located in Rockton, IL. I breed Border Collies with an emphasis on herding ability as well as temperament and health. It is my belief that this is what made these dogs what so many of us love and what makes them able to do so well in so many activities. Many of my puppies excel in agility and obedience as well as herding.
Q. & A. with Lisa
Why did you start breeding?
Cheli and Celt launched quite a story . . . we lived in town at the time and as we got more into all things Border Collie, we began to look for a place with some land so we could get our own sheep. We moved to our current location in December 1999 and added our first 5 sheep in May 2000. The rest, as they say, is history.What makes your program special?
I am an approved AKC herding judge and the AKC delegate for BCSA, the AKC parent club for Border Collies.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.
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.
