I'm Maryna W., the breeder behind Shooting Star Ranch located in Morgan, TX. As conscientious breeders, we are proud of the loving, smart, beautiful, and healthy puppies we’re able to provide for others. Our breeding program started with one small litter that turned into a fulfilling, lifelong passion! We believe there’s no greater joy than providing families with companions that share unconditional love no matter what. We live on a 5 acres by the lake Whitney, TX . We have lots of threes and a big pond where our dogs and puppies have fun and enjoy swimming. Also, we have chickens and gazillions of squirrels.

The puppies are heading off to their new homes, and there are only a few left to play with.

About Nelya
Nelya is truly the shining star of Shooting Star Ranch. A registered AKC member and fully health-tested through Optimal Selection Canine Genetic Breeding Analysis, she carries a strong foundation of proven working ability. Both of her parents come from respected working lines—her dam from dedicated cattle lines, and her sire whose dam worked cattle in Idaho and whose sire excelled in agility. Independent, intelligent, and driven, Nelya’s work ethic is unmistakable. Her high drive keeps her busy throughout the day, yet when evening comes she transforms into a loving, affectionate snuggle buddy who showers her family with gentle sweetness. Her bright, entertaining personality brings laughter to everyone around her. Nelya takes her daily chores seriously, faithfully herding the chickens and guiding them back to the coop from the pasture each evening. She loves stretching her legs in the pasture and cooling off with a swim in the pond—activities that perfectly match her energetic spirit. Her pups often reflect her natural talent. Several have shown strong herding instincts, while others demonstrate excellent potential for sport, performance, or active family companionship. Nelya passes on not only her working ability, but also her joyful character and affectionate nature.

About Windy
Windy is a stunning Sable Masked Saddleback Border Collie, carefully selected as an exceptional representative of her breed—so much so that welcoming her into our program was an easy decision. Playful, agile, and endlessly spirited, Windy thrives on activity. She loves Frisbee, is absolutely obsessed with balls, and shows a growing interest in herding. For now, her “livestock” consists of chickens, but she takes her job seriously and performs it with natural instinct. Her name couldn’t suit her better: Windy moves through life with a breezy, whirlwind energy, always eager to be everywhere at once and keep an eye on everything happening around her. With her drive, intelligence, and athleticism, Windy’s future puppies are expected to excel in both sports and livestock work. They will carry her wonderful temperament, high trainability, and strong working potential—making them exceptional partners in any home or performance setting.

When I first started looking for a puppy I came across the site Good Dog. I knew the breed I wanted. Then I came across Flint the border Collie. I sent a message to ask about Flint. Within minutes I got a reply from Shooting Star Ranch. Maryna answered every question I had always within minutes. I lived quite a ways away from Shooting Star Ranch. I was not going to be able to pick Flint up for a couple weeks. That was no problem. When the time finally came to meet Flint Maryna made it so smooth. I was invited into her home. I had as much time to get to know Flint as I needed. Flint and I bonded instantly. I couldn’t have been more happy with the way it all went. I could tell Flint had basic puppy training. He could sit, heal, and was well socialized. If I ever want another puppy I will start my search with Maryna at Shooting Star Ranch.

It was wonderful working with Maryna. She was fast and communicative throughout the entire process and managed to arrange a very difficult shipping to Alaska! The puppy was not only beautiful and healthy, but obviously very well socialized with a wonderful personality. I feel like we got so lucky to find Maryna. It was clear that he came from a very good breeder. He adjusted almost immediately to two children, two cats and another dog.

I visited Shooting Star Ranch to pick up my puppy. It was a true pleasure to meet Maryna and her husband. Their GoodDog webpage is one of the best I've seen, offering much more content and information than others. Finding and obtaining my puppy was a straightforward process thanks to the GoodDog website. Her husband shared how difficult it was for them to see their puppies go when they first started breeding dogs because they genuinely loved each one. Truly, a great dog breeder is someone who loves their dogs as much as the dogs love their owners.

The process to bring Lucy (previously Candy) home was such an easy one! We live in Missouri but had found her online on Good Dog in Texas. We were planning a trip to visit family in three weeks and they were willing to hold her for us with no issue! They welcomed us into their home to pick her up and introduce her to us gently as she was a bit older of a puppy. We were able to see their other puppies and how well loved and well cared for they all are! If you are looking for a border collie you absolutely can’t go wrong getting a Shooting Star Ranch puppy!!

Maryna was super professional and nice. She gave us a new family member. She took care of everything. She sent pictures and videos daily. We're satisfied with her services. I highly recommend this. It was incredible experience.
