Q. & A. with Joe & Kayleigh

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We spent our childhood around a variety of animals and grew a deep love for the canine. As college graduates, our passion for life-long learning led us to research & choose a breed that best fit our growing family. With an appreciation for history, the outdoors, and husbandry we settled on the versatile, graceful and intelligent border collie. We continue to be amazed by this loving, loyal breed!

  • What makes your program special?

    We pride ourselves on raising beautiful, healthy border collies with excellent temperments for the family and farm. Getting to know each dog's unique personality and gift-set is an honor & privledge. Welcoming future owners to our home & matching them with their forever friend, fill our hearts with joy. We love staying connected through the years and cheering them on as they mature & flourish!

  • 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?

Getting a puppy from Joe & Kayleigh

Joe & Kayleigh has been certified by Good Dog's screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you're ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies.

After buyers complete the application and screening process, Joe & Kayleigh partners with them to find the best puppy match.

"We take great care in matching each puppy to their forever family. Once you are approved, you will have the opportunity schedule a video chat to allow us to better get to know one another. These are scheduled for the week that the puppies turn 4 weeks old and beyond because we have a much better understanding of each pup's unique personality at that point in time. During the chat we will showcase the pups to you and continue to learn more about you and what you're looking for in a canine companion. There is nothing required to schedule a video chat other than your time. The order in which video chats are scheduled, is the order in which puppies are picked. (Consider this our waitlist, but with no financial strings attached! First-scheduled-first-served.) In the meantime, as you wait for your scheduled chat, we are always happy to answer questions and send photos & videos through the Good Dog messaging app. After your video chat, if we deem it a good fit for both human and canine, you will have the option to submit your deposit and reserve your pup of choice. "

Price

Puppy prices include a $300 non-refundable deposit and between $1,500 - $2,200 final payment, before taxes & fees.

"Your puppy will come with limited AKC registration, 1st vet exam & vaccinations, bi-weekly deworming, & puppy enrichment & socialization from day one. The deposit allows you to reserve your puppy. This amount will go towards your final payment. This deposit is non-refundable, but may be applied to a future litter if you need to cancel."

    It was an incredibly smooth process working with Kayleigh. She had multiple video calls with us, shared photos regularly, was very responsive to any questions we had a long the way, and also made sure that Arlo was heading to a good home (something we find to be of the utmost importance when working with a breeder).

    Kayleigh and Joe gave us our dream boy!! 🧡 After losing our very loved senior Shih-Tzu (my childhood dog) this past spring we started the process of finding our next canine companion. This was my first puppy in 17 years, and first Border Collie. My husbands first everything lol. Our list of "must haves" for bringing home a puppy was a little extensive as I train behavioral dogs, we have a small donkey farm, and they were going to be my service dog prospect. Kayleigh went ABOVE and BEYOND for us in making sure he was the perfect match. She truly knows each of their personalities and even performed specific temperament testing for us. Cedar has been such an incredible blessing to our household. As a testament to her very hands-on care and understanding of each individual puppy, our boy is thriving as a Service Dog In Training at just shy of 7 months old, he's pickup up on his farm dogs skills with ease, and is learning to be his best happy-go-fluffy helper dog! Bringing a new puppy home after the loss of a senior pet is never as easy transition, but this boy fits like a glove. Cannot say enough good things and will for sure be getting another puppy from then in the future!! 🐾

    We got our amazing Border Collie, Zoey, from Joe & Kayleigh at Lyncroft Border Collies, and we couldn’t be happier. From the very beginning, they were incredibly responsive and helpful—always happy to answer questions and even arranged FaceTime calls so we could see the puppies in action and get a feel for their personalities. It was clear right away how much care and attention they put into raising their dogs. The puppies were well-socialized, especially with kids, which was very important to us. Zoey has been an absolute angel since the day we brought her home—gentle, affectionate, and wonderful with children. She settled in beautifully and has become a cherished member of our family. We can’t thank Joe & Kayleigh enough for the loving start they gave Zoey. If you're looking for a thoughtful, ethical breeder who truly raises their puppies with love and care, we highly recommend Lyncroft Border Collies.

    We had such a wonderful experience working with Kayleigh from Lyncroft border collies. From the beginning, they were incredibly kind and communicative—FaceTiming us, sending frequent updates, and sharing videos of Blue Spruce (now Tuk-Tuk), which made the entire process feel so personal and reassuring! We loved that he had exposure to kids early on and spent a lot of time outdoors too! Our boy is now 7 months old and truly perfect. He’s incredibly smart, full of energy (exactly as expected!), but also knows when to settle and relax. He has been the greatest joy and such a special addition to our growing family—and it doesn’t hurt that he’s easy on the eyes too. We couldn’t recommend this breeder more!

    Joe and Kayleigh were nothing short of amazing when it came to adopting our puppy. We had a 9 hour ride to come pick him up so we weren’t able to meet our puppy prior, so they video chatted us, and sent us lots of photos to help us decide which puppy to pick. The process was a breeze. I would recommend Joe and Kayleigh to anyone. The puppy we chose was “Blue Jay” and his name now is Cash. He is the most obedient, loving and playful dog we have ever owned. Finding Joe and Kayleigh on good dog was an absolute blessing because without them we wouldn’t have Cash.

    Working with Kayleigh to adopt our new fur baby was delightful. First, I greatly appreciated the amount of information that was available about the puppies parents. She was the only breeder I found that shared details such as the parent’s temperaments. Kayleigh was very quick to respond to my inquiries and thoroughly answered all my questions. She was great in assessing our needs as a family and provided great insight and recommendations. Kayleigh provided us with many opportunities to meet our new pup. We had a FaceTime session and an in person meeting before we got to take our new pup home. Upon getting our new pup, Kayleigh provided thorough paperwork for veterinary and AKC purposes. I could not be happier with my experience and as soon as I convince my husband to get another puppy, we’ll use GoodDog and especially Lyncroft Border Collies again.
