Q. & A. with Lori
Why did you start breeding?
This breed, once upon a time, was favored in Scotland and Ireland. Eventually, border collies became popular and the breed started to dwindle. This association is looking to bring back this breed to have its natural instincts, not governed by looks, but by genetic abilities. I love the female I chose because she was bred by like minded breeder and have been great mentors
What makes your program special?
These pups are with us constantly in the house and around my small farm. They are learning from their mom and dad to be watchful and be integrated in the family.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are sable and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
