Meet the breeder
I'm Megan C., the breeder behind Lil Maine Border Collies located in Richmond, ME. ABCA (American Border Collie Assc.) Registered. Open AKC Registered. The temperament and disposition of our dogs are very important to us. We strive to own and produce level headed border collies that can excel at any sporting event but also have the "off switch" when it is time to come inside the home. We practice herding, agility, and dabble in dock diving. Our dogs are bred for health, temperament, and ability. We strive to produce beautiful and versatile beloved companions. Our dogs are excellent all around dogs, and we are proud to continue their line.
Q. & A. with Megan
Why did you start breeding?
I have had border collies since I was 16 years old, and fell in love with their work ethic, brains and beauty. I wanted to strive to make the smartest most beautiful dogs I could, and show people to love and respect the breed.What makes your program special?
Lil Maine Border Collies' priority is to love and care for each of our puppies and prepare them to be healthy and thrive in their forever homes. We show them what life will be like in their forever homes with kids, animals, and obstacles. We also offer free 30 day pet insurance with any puppy that goes home through Trupanion.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, red merle, blue, brindle, gold, lilac, red, sable, sable merle, saddleback sable, white and blue merle, seal, and slate. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.

It was an absolute pleasure dealing with Megan! Very attentive, knowledgeable, and respectable person, it was a breeze the entire time. I was able to visit my puppy multiple times before finally picking him up to bring him home. She really does go above and beyond, I look forward to future endeavors with her and lil maine border collies!

Working with Megan was a wonderful experience…! She provided constant updates, shared plenty of photos, and was very responsive to emails and questions. It’s obvious she really cares for her dogs and is a responsible breeder. I’m hoping to be able to work with her again in the future when we’re ready to add another to our pack.

Megan was great! She was easy to work with and quick to respond to questions. I loved that she showed pictures and videos of the pups as they grew. Tilly (Nessie) is very friendly and a real love bug. She's active and easy to train while still being a cuddle bug. Loves belly rubs!!
