About Olivia
Olivia came to us as a gift from a dear friend Linda Tidwell at Sierra kennel for my son. She came at a time in our life where she was greatly needed. She is my son's sidekick. He has trained her in Scent work, trick dog, Canine Good Citizen, and Barn hunt. He is getting ready to polish her up and take her back in the ring to compete for her performance titles. He has been working with her since he was 5 years old. She is also OFA excellent hips and normal elbows with all the certificates on health testing available upon request. Olivia will put her life on the line for her boy. They both have gone through rattlesnake awareness testing and both passed with flying colors. She is one of a kind. She enjoys laying by our feet watching TV or hiking in the mountains. She is your typical Border Collie she will go go but she will also come and lay down and relax when told.

Glance is an easy-going boy to live with. He loves to cuddle or just lay by my feet. He has all his health testing done and his completed his AKC Championship along with his grand championship with limited showing on the end of my son's leash. My son has chosen to show him in junior Showmanship and in regular classes to finish his bronze level grand championship, so look for him in a show ring near you. He is also standing at stud to approve females with live cover, and fresh chilled available for shipping.
