I'm Sylwia J., the breeder behind Fasstari Border Collies located in Anderson, IN. Kennel FASSTARI was officially founded in 2013 under the Polish Kennel Club (member of FCI - Federation Cynologique International).

Our puppies have rough coats. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
