Meet the breeder
I'm Kathryn T., the breeder behind South Texas Border Collies located in Edinburg, TX. I own both dogs. My family and I care for the puppies. They receive lots of play time and socialization with people, other dogs and animals. Dad is from a champion sheep herding trial bloodline. Mom is from a working ranch. Puppies from previous litters are working dogs, agility dogs and family pets. All are extremely intelligent!
