    it was a pleasure dealing with Nyla at Lake ridge Border collies I went to pick up my pup Madison on Satuerday the 24thg she is a great fit madison I mean is a great fit to my family. Nyla was there every step of the way while I was getting Madison if I had any question Nyla was always available to answer the questions I had about my pup. Nyla was very professinal and had a whole care package for madison when I picked her up I would definetly deal with her anytime as a matter of fact I took madison to my pet store after about a week of bringing madison home and a lady was asking about what kind of breed she was because of her coat isnt the standard Black and white coloring that most people associate with a border collie Madison is a Lilac merle with blue eyes

    My Husband and I was looking for another Border Collie as a companion for our other dog. I was searching on Good Dog and found Nyla's page and that is where we found our Charlotte. We contacted Nyla and she was so patient with us asking so many questions about the adoption process, her breeding program which she has a extensive program and the transportation service. She really kept us informed with Charlotte's progress and vet visits even when they had no power from a bad storm. If there is a time we are looking for another Border Collie we would definitely contact Nyla. We are extremely happy and Charlotte is healthy and growing.

    Nyla was a tremendous resource in finding Ryder a beautiful male border collie. The info she . provides and the care she gives as a breeder is exceptional. My puppy is exceptionally well adjusted and is a testament of how she works with her litters. The information and folder she gave me on pickup was more than what is normally provided. If you want to work with a breeder Nyla is 5 star. I'm so grateful I chose Nyka as my breeder.

    From start to finish Nyla was very responsive, informative, and provided everything she promised in her program. Echo is exactly as she described: well balanced, affectionate, well cared for, and good natured. He is healthy and even our Vet said he looked wonderful and was a very happy and responsive puppy. Fully recommend Lake Ridge Border Collies and if we adopt another puppy, we would return to her 100%!

    Nyla is amazing! She is very responsive with any questions I had. She walks you through everything she does with the puppies. Our boy Leo is well behaved and super social. She introduced him to so many things so he wasn't super scared. We had a 3.5 hour car ride home and he slept the entire time. Highly recommend Nyla from lake ridge border collies. Leo's mom was on site and she was amazing mom. Thank you Nyla for this experience.

    Nyla is a great breeder! We got photos all the time, pickup was super smooth, and she was super attentive to any questions we had. Our puppy, Carmine, is the best furry friend we could ask for and if he needs a buddy down the line we will definitely look to Nyla’s litters again.
