Q. & A. with Desiree
Why did you start breeding?
We started with breeding quarter horses while growing up and we always had a herding bred dog mostly blue Heeler but quickly fell in love with all the breeds in the herding groupWhat makes your program special?
we try to match each individual temperament to the appropriate home so we minimize REHOMING situations in the future for the puppy, this way we hopefully place our puppies in forever homes!! I also provide shipping myself I don’t contract transportation out as I’ve heard and witnessed horror stories on paying some transport companies!!What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our Poodle puppies are toy size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat types in your program?
Border Collie puppies have rough coats. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Poodle puppies include black, red, and phantom. Border Collie puppies include blue merle, red merle, blue, gold, and white and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

“A seamless and wonderful experience,” the entire process of getting our new puppy Bucky. The experience was amazing from start to finish.Desiree was incredibly communicative and made us feel like a part of the journey by sending frequent updates and photos. When we finally brought our puppy home, it was clear how much care and love went into raising him. He was healthy, well-socialized, and the transition was so smooth. We are so grateful and can't imagine our home without him. We highly recommend Ross Vegas Kennels to anyone looking for a happy, healthy companion.

I had a wonderful experience working with Desiree at Ross Vegas Kennels. From the very beginning, she was responsive, professional, and truly knowledgeable about Border Collies. She answered all of my questions with patience and made sure I felt comfortable every step of the way. What stood out the most was how much she genuinely cares about her dogs and where they go. She provided me with regular updates, photos, and information about my puppy’s progress until he was ready to come home, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Now that my Border Collie is home, I couldn’t be happier. He’s healthy, well-socialized, and everything I hoped for. I would highly recommend Desiree and Ross Vegas Kennels to anyone looking for a quality, responsible breeder who puts their dogs and new families first.
