Meet the breeder

I'm Grant S., the breeder behind Sheps Farm Border Collies located in Farmersville, TX. Hi! We are located in Farmersville, Tx. Our Border Collies, Angel and Odin, are our beloved family pets who also help us with our Boer Goat herd. When they aren't chasing birds and dragon flies, they are playing ball or swimming in the pond. Please come by sometime and see the puppies. :) our small hobby farm in North Texas. I raised both the sire and dam from puppies. Angel and Odin have produced three litters, two in 2024 one in 2026. Angel originated from Walnut Grove, MO while Odin ( sire/blue Merle) is from CRL Border Collies in Springtown, Tx.

Q. & A. with Grant

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Ive always loved border collies, but Border collies require space, which I have and that is what sets me apart - dog quality of life. I don't breed dogs as a source of income, I breed them for quality and the joy of being a good steward of the breed. Before I got into breeding, I worked with a mentor, Lonna, from CRL Border Collies. She advised me on the proper tests to obtain ( OFA, genetic screening) and how to be an excellent breeder. Our AKC dogs are TOP NOTCH. Come meet Odin, Angel, and the puppies!

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies are blue merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Finding Grant was the key to completing our family. He went above and beyond in facilitating our communication and transaction. Grant's professionalism, knowledge of the breed, and unbridled enthusiasm and care for his furry charges made choosing him as a breeder a no-brainer. Our puppy was clearly loved and she is a delight. Would we choose Grant again? Absolutely!

    We picked up our Border Collie puppy, Ozzy, from Shep's Farm eleven days ago, and he's everything we hoped he'd be: intelligent, high energy, super social, and unbelievably cute. Grant was absolutely great throughout the process. He was very informative and eager to answer all of our questions about Ozzy, his siblings, and his parents. He sent us photos and videos as we waited for Ozzy to get old enough for us to pick him up. He spent plenty of time with us and the pup on the day we arrived so that when we finally left that afternoon, Ozzy had bonded with my wife and didn't exhibit the slightest twinge of separation anxiety. He accepted me, my wife, and our adult dog, Beezle, as his new family. I can't say enough good things about Grant and the quality of the dogs he raises. When we're ready to find another Border Collie to add to the family, I hope Grant has a litter ready.
