I'm Rachel P., the breeder behind Poteet Pups located in Eagle Point, OR. Our mission is to raise healthy, happy, adorable Border Collie puppies and connect loving families with their new best friends! We are dedicated to always providing our buyers and our puppies with a positive experience, which includes remaining committed to responsible practices.
Q. & A. with Rachel
Why did you start breeding?
As lifelong dog owners and enthusiasts, we knew we wanted raising and breeding dogs to be a central part of our efforts on the farm. As border collies are the smartest breed (unquestionably!), we welcomed Jolene into our home in early 2019. At Poteet Pups, we believe the adoption experience is the foundation for a positive and healthy relationship between pet and parent.
What makes your program special?
Our pups are raised following Puppy Culture for the best early start to socialization. We follow AKC best practices in breeding and guarantee the health of our puppies. Because we feel responsible for every pup born on our farm, we offer an unconditional, lifelong surrender policy back to our farm.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
