Addie was quick to respond and very helpful throughout the entire process. About two weeks before the puppies were ready to go home, we visited them to see which one might be the best fit for our family. From the moment we met Lavender, we knew she was the one. We love our puppy Lavender very much! She is very sweet, energetic, and she loves to play. She also loves to run and she’s incredibly fast. It was clear she had received some basic training before we brought her home. She lets us know when she needs to go outside, and she has a set eating and sleeping schedule. She’s very sociable and prefers eating when people are around. We’ve already started taking her on walks and teaching her some basic tricks. Lavender has been a wonderful addition to our family, and we are very satisfied with our experience with Floating Axe Border Collies. Thank you!

Our experience with Floating Axe Border Collies was great! We found Floating Axe Border Collies through GoodDog on the internet. Addie was quick to respond about the available puppies and answered our questions. We visited the puppies three weeks before pickup to be sure the one we had our eye on was right for us. We chose Sage, who has turned out to be a wonderful companion and a great focused worker! Once we got her home, we found her to be very well socialized and well behaved. Sage was ready to start training right away. She had definitely had some good training and ground rules already. She was in excellent health and has been a great addition to our family. Thank You -The Sorensons
