Meet the breeder
I'm Kailey R., the breeder behind Forthright Farms located in Centerville, WA. My dogs work on the farm and are all also fantastic family pets. Temperament is the single most important trait I breed for to ensure my puppies will make the best new companion for you and your family.
Q. & A. with Kailey
Why did you start breeding?
I found it difficult to find dogs that were bred and raised with the standards I want for my next working companion, so I decided it’d be more practical to just raise my own, exactly how I want them, and also to provide these special dogs to other people with the same high standards. Nothing makes me happier than seeing a well rounded, well matched puppy thriving in his/her new home!What makes your program special?
My strict health, temperament, and working standards for breeding dogs, dedication to raising each individual pup to its fullest potential with Avidog and Puppy Culture principles, and loving, trained, and fulfilled life each dog has here on the farm truly sets Forthright Farms apart. My commitment to assist each new owner in the puppy choosing and raising process-lifetime breeder support.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 blue merle, black, blue, red, white and blue, white and blue merle, white and red, white ticked, and slate. 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.

Great health testing
DNA Disease Panel, Shoulder Osteochondrosis, +3 more.Teal, mom
Border Collie
About Teal
Teal is a wonderful, stable, friendly dog. She seems to genuinely have a sense of humor and her antics and expressions are always making me laugh! Teal is medium drive with an excellent off switch. She carries dilute so could produce blue/slate and lilac puppies if bred to a male who also carries dilute.

Border Collie
About Jinger
Jinger is a fiery little rocket. She is higher energy but has a good off switch. Everybody is Jinger's friend, and she's never known a stranger! Though just a happy-go-lucky dog in general, she's all business when working, shows no fear with livestock, and doesn't back down. So far, she is truly everything I'm looking for in a dog. A confident, lovable, playful pet, and a working machine at the flip of a switch.

Border Collie
About Clark
Clark is by far the best dog in my kennel, at this time. A loving, cuddle bug who gets along with all the other dogs as well, he is also a super stylish and quick, powerful worker. Truly my favorite dog to work! He can go from working cattle one minute, to gently cleaning a new lamb or kid the next-he has the biggest, sweetest heart.

Kailey was great to work with. She answered all my questions speedily, recommended things I agree with, made easy work of shipping my puppy from Washington state to Alaska, and followed through with advice and more answers. And I love my pup Tonsina.
