I'm Kelsey M., the breeder behind Kickin It Acres BCs located in Chariton, IA. Our Border Collies have proven themselves in all types of events. Our puppies have potential to do all things. Our puppies not only excel in all types of events but also as service dogs, therapy dogs, and excellent companions. We are going to start adding a litter of Pembroke Welsh Corgi puppies each year. I will be the 3rd generation of my family that has raised and shown AKC registered Pembroke Welsh Corgis.
Q. & A. with Kelsey
What makes your program special?
Our Border Collie program was started over 15 years ago. I have been working hard on produce not only pretty dogs but Border Collies that can do it all. From herding, sporting, to being amazing companions.
We are 3rd generation Corgi breeders so they are pretty much in our blood, lol. They make awesome sport dogs and companions.
What are the different breed coat types in your program?
Our Border Collie puppies have rough coats. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Border Collie puppies include tri-color and black. Pembroke Welsh Corgi puppies include red and black and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Verified owner · June 2025
Kelsey was wonderful to keep interested parties informed of possible litter due dates on her wait list. Once the puppies were born, she was quick to notify about the litter and availability of puppies, including photos. She gave new owners frequent updates and photos until we took possession. Payment was easy by using Good Dog platform. Our new girl is everything in disposition, temperament, intelligence and excellent health as she promised from her genetics. Plus, she gave all her puppies a very nicely thought-out gift bag of essentials & goodies! Kelsey was very responsive to questions and made picking up our new family girl easy. Five Stars out of Five Stars for Kickin It Acres!!
