Eastwillow Border Collies
Meet the breeder
I'm Jennifer E., the breeder behind Eastwillow Border Collies located in Minnesota. Temperament, disposition, and health are very important to us when breeding and training our dogs. They must co-exist with children, visitors, other dogs, cats, and horses. Therefore our goal is to produce a level headed Border Collie that will excel at anything you ask of them, whether that be herding, playing ball and frisbee, obedience, or just being a great family companion, with the ability to have that off-switch when it is time to come inside the house. Our Border Collies are extremely intelligent and loyal with incredible athletic ability.

Parent health testing
Great level
Eastwillow Border Collies reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Border Collies.
Hip Dysplasia
Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)
Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
Shoulder Osteochondrosis
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.
PawPrint Genetic Panel (Breed Specific)
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
