Q. & A. with Michelle

  • Why did you start breeding?

    It is important to me that I not only continue my own phenomenal bloodlines, but that I am improving this breed with each litter and ensuring the well-being of these dogs for generations more to come! I focus on temperament, drive, and beauty with each litter. The fulfillment of seeing new puppies born, watching them grow, and helping shape them and train them in preparation for their new forever homes is the most rewarding experience ever!
  • What makes your program special?

    Hatfield Border Collies is committed to only breeding dogs that I feel are excellent representations of their standard and will make a positive contribution to their breed and to the families who love them. I focus on breeding dogs that have enough drive to keep up with a busy working lifestyle, but also have amazing temperaments and can quickly adapt to a calm family setting. Each puppy is given the best start that I can possibly provide. I can't wait to introduce you to your next beloved Border Collie!
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include blue merle, red merle, 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.
