Meet the breeder
I'm Chris P., the breeder behind Peachy Keen Border Collies located in Gloucester, VA. Puppies are raised in my home and handled daily. Mom and pups are up to date on vaccines, worming, & temperament tested. We temperament test our puppies before owners make their final selection. We feel that matching temperament, personality traits and drive levels is extremely important when helping an owner choose their new puppy. We ask that you contact us by phone interview before you are officially accepted for one of our puppies.
Q. & A. with Chris
Why did you start breeding?
When I fell in the love with the breed in '94. I wanted to improve the temperament, health, and structure in my breed.What makes your program special?
I do not allow new owners to choose a puppy at birth. While they may have a favorite, choices are decided after temperament testing at 7 1/2 weeks.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include blue merle, red merle, black, gold, and lilac. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
