Meet the breeder

I'm Sarah M., the breeder behind SaturnMoon MAS & BC located in Nicholasville, KY. In order to start our puppies off on the right paw, I begin training and socializing at a young age so they are set up for success in their new homes. I prioritize the health and well-being of each one of my puppies and follow appropriate puppy health protocols. I also leave tails intact on my MAS!

    Sara was very knowledgeable, supportive, and kind enough to meet us halfway. Chaos is the sweetest girl; she's full of energy, loves the kids, and is very gentle. She was the perfect addition to our family.

    When we first made contact with Sarah we had never had any experience with Good Dog. She asked us some questions about what we were looking for in a puppy and gave us some understanding of what the Mother and Father of the litter. All of the discussion made us feel like Sarah was really interested in making a good match. She alerted us when the puppies were born with pictures of the puppies and kept us up to date through the entire process. We ended up with a gorgeous puppy who is the center of our life. Thanks Sarah!

    Sarah was so wonderful to work with! She kept us updated on how mom and puppy were doing and was super knowledgeable about border collies as a breed. She was always available to answer questions and provide advice, even after we brought our little guy home, and keeps in touch with a Facebook group for our litter! Most importantly, our puppy was extremely healthy and well cared for. It has been a pleasure working with Sarah and using Good Dog, we highly recommend! Thank you, Sarah, for all you do! We love our Atlas!!

    Our first experience with Good Dog couldn't have gone better thanks to Sarah and her prompt, precise process. She provided us with instructions for each necessary step in a professional and efficient manner. Her effective communication made working from a distance feel very comfortable and trustworthy, it being unfamiliar to us. At the time of pickup, it was clear Sarah is a well-read, mindful individual with the right intentions for her breeding program. We went home with not only a properly bred pup, but informative resources as well that she took the time to gather for her litters' new owners. She most certainly wants the best for her animals, encouraging potential sporting outlets and exercise insights for their futures. We so appreciate the thoughtful approach Sarah uses, and her discernment for the pups she breeds. It has put us two steps ahead in the right direction of raising a brilliant Border Collie.
