Meet the breeder

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.

Q. & A. with Maryna

  • What makes your program special?

    Puppies raised by Shooting Star Ranch are temperament evaluated and placed in family based on their personality and drive. New owners will have a life breeder support. Puppies are given only the best nutrition, Mom's milk, delicious mush, high quality kibble and treats. We start potty training when puppies are 3 weeks old. They become familiar with a doggy door. These puppies are regularly receiving baths, nail trimming and lots of kisses. Our program includes a crate and an early basic manners training and get them well-prepped for a smooth transition to their forever homes. We do early ENS( Early Neurological Stimulation), ESI Early Scent Introduction and ESS (Early sound stimulation) starting from the 3rd day of life. Please contact us if you need an advance training like walking on/off leash, heel, stay, obedience and commands of your needs. We will provide new owners with information and materials how to raise your puppy, vaccines and de-worming schedule and much more to help you to get prepared for your new furry family member.

    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.
