Meet the breeder
I'm Pam S., the breeder behind Pam's Border Collies located in Westerlo, NY. Our dogs are carefully selected for their superior temperaments, intelligence and trainability as well as their work ethic and eagerness to please. Our goal is to produce loyal companions and work partners that are also great family dogs, representing the best qualities of their breed.
Q. & A. with Pam
Why did you start breeding?
My first working dog here on the farm was by my side every day for 15 years. We joked that she was part person; we called her Jenny the Wonderdog! Jenny was the best friend and coworker I could have ever asked for. She was smart, intuitive, loyal, hard working and funny! Always wished I hadn't spayed her as she was so exceptional! If only I had retained the ability to have pups from my Jenny....What makes your program special?
I have spent years looking for a male dog that possessed the work ethic, intelligence and intuitive capacity as well as the sweet and loving nature that Jenny had. I found that in York. He has competed in and won numerous sheepdog trials. He can be intense in his work ethic here on the farm and then switch it off and come in for cuddles. Our females, Pearl, Eva and Maggie are also amazing dogs!What are the different breed coat types in your program?
Our puppies include smooth and rough coat varieties. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include tri-color, black and white, and blue merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

+4We were so happy to have chosen Pam to work with in getting the newest member of our family. She answered all our questions promptly and was transparent thru the whole process. After the litter was born she sent us several photos along the way which was great. When a pickup time needed to be delayed by us, she didn’t hesitate to help us reschedule a time best for both of us. I would get another puppy from her right now but training one border collie is enough excitement! I urge anyone interested in an intelligent, energetic, and sweet pup, to contact Pam and discuss if a border collie is right choice for your family.

+5We lost our beloved 15 year old Aussie/border mix back in July. 5 days later as I was browsing rescue dogs, my husband found Pam’s border collies on gooddog and she had just posted a litter. The puppies were 1 day old and after a conversation back and forth with Pam we had a deposit down on our Finley (formerly Alfred). For the next 8 weeks Pam sent updates and photos while our puppy grew. When it was time to go get him we made the drive to her beautiful farm in upstate NY where she lives with her many animals. Finley is a beautiful dog and a great addition to our family and our boys just adore him. We love that he was highly socialized on the farm and was exposed to many different animals. He settled right in at home with no issues. Thank you Pam for our new furry family member.

After a little over a week with my little guy Rocky (formerly Aaron) I got the time to write this up while he's laying down with a chew toy! Rocky is a great pup with such a big personality. He loves to play and has such a great sense of confidence and curiosity for the world! Working with Pam was fantastic, she sent updates, dealt with all my questions quickly, and took great care in raising the pups up to pickup. When I got little Rocky he already was so well socialized and used to various noises that he had to have been exposed to at Pam's Farm! He's been a great addition to the family and overall a delight! I would highly recommend going through Pam if you're looking for a border Collie in the future!
