Verified owner · July 2026
We recently brought home two female Border Collie puppies from Temple at Flying M Cactus Ranch Buddies, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. From the very beginning, Temple was incredibly responsive, answered all of our questions, and made the entire process easy and enjoyable. It was clear that she genuinely cares about her puppies and wants them to be placed in the right homes. The amount of time, effort, and love she puts into raising and socializing her puppies really shows. Our girls came home confident, well-adjusted, and already off to a wonderful start. It was obvious they had been thoughtfully prepared for their transition into their new family. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, caring, and dedicated Border Collie breeder, I highly recommend Temple at Flying M Cactus Ranch Buddies. We are so grateful for our two amazing girls!

Temple was very responsive. Great communication. She met us half way saving us 4 hours of drive time round-trip. We have had 3 other border collies. Our newest member of the family, Shiloh, has been absolutely fantastic. His temperament is nothing short of amazing. He is doing amazingly well with training. Super happy puppy that sticks to me like glue.
