We found Diane by conducting a search for Border Collies on Good Dog's website. My partner and I of 15 years had been thinking about getting a dog for several years; in my early 20's I spent some time on a ranch and remember Border Collies being SO intelligent ; I always knew that I would have one of my own! Our experience with Diane and Sandstone Ridge Kennels was wonderful. Diane is patient, communicative and knowledgable about her dogs. We picked our pup up at 8 weeks - we drove from MN to OH and back. I highly reccomend working with Diane if you are considering getting a dog. We've had three vet checks so far and every one has been a PERFECT bill of health. The temperment of our pup is HIGHLY energetic, loving, intelligent etc. A gracious reminder to anyone considering getting a BC; please do research and ensure you have the time and lifestyle to support a high drive and highly intelligent dog. We are SO happy with our pup - we may be back for another. Lots of love and gratitude to Diane, Lincoln and Moon for facilitating our beautiful girl Gwindel. We had a WONDERFUL experience and we are THRILLED with our baby!
