Meet the breeder
I'm Frances H., the breeder behind Quamash BCs located in Connecticut. Our dogs are bred for health, temperament, and ability. We strive to produce beautiful, athletic and versatile beloved companions. Border Collies are an incredible breed, and we decided to start our breeding program in order to preserve the wonderful qualities we found in our dogs. They excel across a wide spectrum of sports venues including Agility, Disc and Dock Diving. We are dedicated to improving our dogs with each generation so our puppies will thrive as sporting companions for a long time to come.

Excellent level

Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)
Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.
Congenital Deafness (BAER, registered with OFA)
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
DNA Disease Panel
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
