Meet the breeder
I'm Joni A., the breeder behind Magnolia Acres located in Caledonia, MI. We breed for health and conformation. We have the puppies in our house, and get them used to household noises, kids, adults, other dogs and start them on potty training outside before they go home. We offer a 1 year health guarantee and they go to the vet for a visit and 1st set of shots.

Everything went very well with pickup as Joni really went the extra mile, literally. Our little Beau is a fantastic dog! He is our fourth border collie and at almost 12 weeks is definitely the smartest. He herds the chickens and plays endlessly with our 2 others - even comes when called and responds well to basic commands. We have no doubt that he will be a great adult dog - thank you Joni!

Joni was great to work with. This was the first time we had used a breeder and we were not sure how it worked or what to do. Joni was very helpful with the process and worked with our schedule. Our new puppy is amazing. She’s so sweet, playful and healthy. We are very happy with the whole experience.
