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!

We love staying connected through the years and cheering them on as they mature & flourish!

    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.

    We could not be happier with our experience with Lyncroft Border Collies. Kayleigh listened carefully to what we were looking for in a new dog and she helped us match to the perfect puppy. Our beautiful puppy came to us wonderfully socialized to children and other pets. She already knew basic commands and potty training when we picked her up and she continues to train quickly and easily. The puppy got an A+ from our vet. We appreciate all the effort Lyncroft Border Collies puts into raising and training their puppies and making sure families go home with the puppy that works for them. We have also gotten compliments everywhere we go on how beautiful and unique our tri color border collie is. We think so too!

    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.

    A Wonderful Experience with Lyncroft Border Collies! We couldn't be happier with our new puppy from Lyncroft Border Collies! From start to finish, Kayleigh made the process smooth and enjoyable. She was incredibly responsive, always answering our questions and providing us with all the necessary paperwork in a timely manner. Her organization and attention to detail made us feel confident in our choice. Our Border Collie, Scotti, has been an absolute joy. He arrived knowing all the basic commands, which made the transition so much easier. He's incredibly smart, affectionate, and friendly with everyone—both humans and other dogs. It’s not uncommon for people to stop us and compliment how good-looking he is! We highly recommend Lyncroft Border Collies to anyone looking for a wonderful, well-bred dog. Thank you, Kayleigh, for giving us the perfect addition to our family!
