+8We are so very happy with our new pup! We live in Monument, CO and drove almost 7 hours to pick him up . The days leading up to the pick up, we were having second thoughts about driving so far (especially since we hadn't met the litter) and were concerned we would be disappointed when we got there. We had the complete opposite feeling. When we pulled up we were greeted by mom and dad. They were the sweetest dogs we ever me and they were so polite. They did not jump on us, but sat and waited for us to greet them. That says something about the breeders, having such well behaved dogs. Backing up...when we picked our puppy out online, Abigail was so responsive to all my many questions. She sent me videos and pictures several times until we picked him up. Also, we picked him up 3 weeks late because we were out of town. She was very flexible. Well worth the drive. I would do it again in a heartbeat! We named "Charlie" Ebby. Ebby is the best pup ever! So full of adventure and so smart. He has the cutest personality.

Working with I&A Border Collies was an amazing experience! Communication was excellent throughout the entire process, pickup scheduling was flexible, and we even had the opportunity to meet our girl’s parents. Our sweet Freya has been everything we could have hoped for and more. She is a wonderful dog with an incredible temperament, and we couldn’t be happier with her. She has been a perfect addition to our family!
