RockIt Border Collies
Meet the breeder
I'm Morgan H., the breeder behind RockIt Border Collies located in Columbus, OH. Our ultimate goal is to breed dogs that are healthy and have sound bodies and minds, great temperaments, biddable attitudes, and amazing work ethics. We also breed for solid jumping ability and the ability to turn well and jump fluidly.
Q. & A. with Morgan
What makes your program special?
We are a performance breeder that only has a litter a year or so on average and are beginning to only breed when we would like a puppy or something back for our breeding program (which is going to be every few years). All of our dogs have their hips certified by OFA good or excellent at 24+ months and/or are PennHIP certified at a high percentile (60th+) prior to breeding and are certified BAER Normal, and are Pawprints panel DNA tested prior to breeding. We have implemented more and more health testing as new tests come out and will constantly continue to do so. Our ultimate goal is to breed dogs that are healthy and have sound bodies and minds, great temperaments, biddable attitudes and amazing work ethics. We also breed for a solid jumping ability and the ability to turn well and jump fluidly. We have no issue pulling something from our breeding program that is not contributing to our overall image of what we're trying to produce. We strive to produce something that we would be proud and happy to walk in the ring with and train on regular basis. So far, we have gotten that and I don't expect anything less in the future. I have put hours upon hours of extensive research into pedigrees and lineage. I have a very in depth database of dogs related to mine and from lines I am interested in and I am constantly adding to that database. I adore Border Collies and I have often said I will never own another breed. I swear every second of my spare time is put into researching the breed and learning more about the breed and breeding in general. I don't feel you can ever know it all.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Excellent level
RockIt Border Collies reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Border Collies.

Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)
Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.

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.
