Q. & A. with Amelia

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I grew up in a household very well versed in showing and raising quality pets. My mom and my grandma before her raised Himalayans, Akitas, and Dobermans. I’ve always been an animal lover and fascinated with watching how breeds improve, how their traits are passed down and puppies are reminiscent of their parents. I raise Border Collies because it allows me to sustain my obsession while bringing families their next best friend. Nothing is more gratifying than witnessing that first embrace families have with their new family addition. And of course, the joy of watching the Elysian legacy grow up with their new families. I hope you do big things!
  • What makes your program special?

    Firstly, I’m not a high volume kennel. I plan to breed one litter per year and have partnered with a reputable breeder to carefully select the traits I want to see passed on to puppies. I do DNA complete health checks on all dams and sires. I socialize, do ENS, and clicker train puppies before they go. They start with a strong foundation to become excellent, quick-learning, well-rounded puppies.
  • 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 brindle and white and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
