Meet the breeder

I'm Emaline F., the breeder behind Sandhill Ranch Border Collies located in Bronson, FL. We do our best to socialize each litter so we’re able to offer all-around healthy and well-mannered puppies! All of our puppies are ABCA registered and some are registered with the AKC as well. We just adore this breed and are passionate breeders. We are dedicated to maintaining responsible breeding practices and do all we can to make sure our pups get the best care and go to the best homes!

Q. & A. with Emaline

What makes your program special?
Our dogs are first and foremost family pets and companions. We only have one or two litters of puppies per year, and they are raised with lots of love from the whole family. All of our puppies are ABCA (sometimes AKC) registered and both parents must have good temperaments and have good health testing in order for us to breed them.
What are the different breed coat types in your program?
Our puppies have rough coats. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include tri-color, black and white, white and blue merle, white and red, and white and red merle. 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.

Getting a puppy from Emaline

Emaline has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.

Emaline partners with buyers to find the best match as the puppies develop and their personalities take shape.

“The way the picking order works when putting down a deposit: There is a first pick of the males and a first pick for the females, and then a second/last pick of the litter, separating the males' pick from the females' pick. This means I will have two spots in line for the males, ranging from "first pick" to "last pick," and I will have two spots in line for first to last pick of the females. I will accept a total of four, non-refundable deposits and will hold your place on my waiting list for which pick of the males or females you want. *For first pick of the males or first pick of the females, I charge an extra $100 at puppy pickup. When choosing your puppy: once puppies are born, I will post weekly updates on this website, with pictures and occasionally videos. I will also post the different developments and characteristics of each pup as they grow. However, I will not allow my waiting list to officially choose their puppy until they are four weeks old. This is so that they can get an idea of which pup would best suite what they are looking for characteristically, and not purely based off of their appearance. ”

Price

Puppy prices include a $200 non-refundable deposit and between $1,800 - $2,800 final payment, before taxes & fees.

“Price includes limited ABCA registration, general health check, and puppy starter kit.”

Litter and program updates

Litter update on 30 Mar •
This handsome fellow, Chopin, is still available but can be picked up any time now. He is so sweet and loves attention! He is very easy going and loves children and adults alike. He also loves dipping in the kitty pool that I have out for the puppies and dogs and running around finding all sorts of fun little things to play with. I believe he will be very easy to train and would make an excellent family, companion, service, agility, or herding dog. He will be ABCA registered and AKC registrable. Please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have about my program of if you are interested in getting Chopin.

Parent dogs

Dixie, mom
Border Collie
About Dixie
Dixie is our first Rose Hollow Border Collie, and she has been such a sweet blessing to our family. She is not particularly outgoing to strangers but is never aggressive or scary when it comes to people meeting her, and once she senses that we are okay with them being around, she is great with it and loves the extra attention. She is very loving and devoted to us, and we enjoy her charming loyalty and love to us, so much! Dixie spends her days relaxing on the covered porch or tagging along with various family members while doing outside chores. She's not a licker, a beggar, or a bugger, and, thankfully, Dixie doesn't care for herding small animals like chickens and cats. She would way rather chase balls or hose water, or catch a frisbee! Dixie adds so much joy to our lives and we want to share that joy with others through her puppies. Dixie is 100% clear of all common Border Collie diseases, and is registered ABCA/AKC.

Quigley, dad
Border Collie
About Quigley
Quigley is such a fun, loving, sweet dog! He is quite the gentleman and stays with me whenever I'm outside doing working around our property or just am just walking with the dogs. I often will ride a bike when I go to take care of our neighbor's animals sometimes, and he is always waiting for me at the end of our driveway when I leave and get back with a happy wagging tail and always comes up to me afterwards to make sure everything is how it should be! He's a good caretaker! Quigley is also a people pleaser, and pays close attention and respect to me as his owner, which is such a wonderful quality that I especially love about him. His off switch is also very sharp, in that he can go from us throwing sticks, frisbees, and playing tug a war with the others to as soon as it's time to settle down, he very quickly turns off the energy, and is content to just relax next to me. His favorite thing to do is chew on sticks... however, they are not as special to him unless the other dogs want them as well, which makes the value and fun of chewing them even more delightful! He loves the other dogs, and they get along very well playing, eating, and sleeping together. He is a perfect addition to our pack and brings me and my family so much fun and laughter! Quigley is 100% clear of all common Border Collie diseases, and is registered ABCA/AKC.

Cocoa, mom
Border Collie
About Cocoa
Cocoa is a very affectionate dog! She knows no stranger, and is always down for a good petting from anyone and everyone who is around, at any time! She loves to catch anything that flies, and is lighting fast on the move when running anything down. She is obedient and listens to me quite well, at least most of time - when there's not a potentially flying toy in someone's hand, that is! Among many other things I could say about Cocoa, the one thing I love most about her, is that she is especially loyal and smart. She loves trotting beside me contentedly waiting for any beckoning command I might give her. She is content to just lay patiently near wherever I am working outside and watch me, occasionally coming over to make sure I remember she's still there watching out for me. She's so gentle and kind to children and loved being around them even when they aren't so gentle with her. Occasionally I'll catch one of my little nieces or nephews riding, (or attempting to ride,) on her back, and she is so happy and jolly about it and would totally take them for a ride if I would permit. Cocoa is a very special dog with a unique and fun personality making her so enjoyable to be around!
