Q. & A. with Jan
Why did you start breeding?
Years ago I had Cocker Spaniels and bred a couple of litters. Now I breed only Border Collies. I want to provide other families with a healthy, biddable, lovable companion.What makes your program special?
My first and foremost priority is producing healthy, happy, biddable and super temperament dogs. I will always take a puppy/dog back at anytime for any reason. My dogs are not bred until all health clearances are certified and they have proven themselves with open titles in some sport.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
