Kagee Border Collies
Meet the breeder
I'm Katie R., the breeder behind Kagee Border Collies located in Oroville, CA. We care deeply about Border Collies and have built that love and respect for the breed into every aspect of our program. We enjoy showing our dogs, and they are our companions in every adventure. We are invested in Border Collies and in helping the breed thrive. We do all that we can to give our puppies the best lives, including proper health care, thorough socialization, and finding them each a wonderful and loving home.
Q. & A. with Katie
Why did you start breeding?
Ever since I was a young child, I loved dogs! On one of my many trips to the bookstore with my dad to look at the dog books on the shelf, I spotted one about showing dogs. I quickly worked towards getting my first show dog, and the rest is history. Naturally, while showing and competing with dogs, you gain interest in breeding and helping produce the next generation of wonderful dogs to be loved.What makes your program special?
My focus is to create the best quality dog possible and match puppies into homes where they will be empowered to be the best they can be, rather than "selling puppies". As their breeder, I am their voice, so will always look out for the best interests of my puppies. Our puppies are raised in our home, under our advanced "puppy school" curriculum, which sets the foundation for their best future.What are the different breed coat types in your program?
Our puppies have rough coats. 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, and blue. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Border Collie
About Miley
Miley is very sweet, wanting to spend her time crawling right into your lap, hand, arm, or whatever body part you will share to pet her with- LOL! She is athletic, fast, agile, and most certainly the quickest border collie we own. She has gorgeous structure, and a fabulous pedigree. Combined with her temperament, she is a great girl to own, love, and have as part of our breeding program.
