I'm Katie Kerby R., the breeder behind Ridge Kap Border Collies located in Henagar, AL. Our dogs are bred for health, temperament, athleticism, working ability and a desire to please their owner. We go the extra mile to ensure to the best of our ability that our puppies and dogs go to compatible and loving homes.
Q. & A. with Katie Kerby
Why did you start breeding?
My parents got our first border collie when I was 14 years old, and I fell in love with the breed. After my son passed away at 20 years old, I, Robin White, decided to breed and train border collies to occupy my time. It was a wonderful form of therapy. My daughter, Katie Kerby, has also fallen in love with them and now raises border collies with me.
What makes your program special?
I have worked for many years to improve the breed by keeping the "old timey" bloodlines that have a desire to please and great working ability, as well as, performing genetic health tests on all breeding adults.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include tri-color, blue merle, red merle, and white and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

The puppy is getting along so well with my other/older Border Collie. Definitely two different personalities that are playing well together. I have shared several photos with the breeder and I believe a video or two.

We had such a great experience with Donna & Katie. Very responsive and sent us lots of photos as we waited. Cinnamon is a beautiful dog who has a great temperament. She’s adjusted well into our family of 5. Even after just a few days she’s learning commands and making potty training a breeze. So thankful for her!

Ridge Kap Border Collies were such a huge blessing to us through each step of the process. We met Robin with Ridge Kap Border Collies when we drove to pick up our new puppy. RKBC is built on love, professionalism, and trust. Robin welcomed us like family and we were able to ask her any questions and we were made to feel at home. Her love and dedication to all of their dogs and the puppies are amazing. If we had the time and the space, we would have bought them all! We love RKBC and recommend them as highly as we possibly can. It’s our opinion, of course, that you won’t find any other breeder that is so dedicated to the highest level of love and quality care as RKBC shows to their Border Collies. This was simply the best experience for us as a family and our puppy is the perfect fit for our family! Thank you, Robin and RKBC!
