Laura & Leila Johnson's Border Collies meets or exceeds our community standards in these areas:

Border Collie
About Gemstone
Out of the gate, Gemstone is both AKC, ABCA registered. Her OFA results came back with excellent hips, normal elbows, and normal eyes. She is clear of all Embark genetic tests and selected additional Orivet panels. Gemstone is a well-rounded little working dog who excels at disc, agility, fast CAT, and as a service dog. She is small but mighty, with a cool temperament around other pets, livestock, and around the house, but has an intense working drive when duty calls. Gemstone knows no strangers and would love nothing more than unlimited scritches before she hits the turf.

About Eli
Eli is small for his breed, but has high-drive and a great work ethic. He lives to please us and loves cuddles. His puppies might have a rear dewclaw that we highly encourage to be removed.
Good health testing
Laura & Leila Johnson's Border Collies reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Border Collies.
Hip Dysplasia
Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)
Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
Canine Good Citizen (CGC)
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
Collie Eye Anomaly (CEA), Full Embark Panel
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
