Tarot Border Collies
Meet the breeder
I'm Macey L., the breeder behind Tarot Border Collies located in Tallahassee, FL. As a young breeder, I search for new and innovative ways to contribute to the preservation and betterment of the border collie. I am an advocate for responsibility as all of my breeding dogs will be genetically tested, OFA cleared, titled and temperament tested. I strive for a family oriented temperament as well as a strong and versatile working drive. My dogs are family before anything, they receive unconditional love regardless of their breeding status. Border collies are a beautiful and intelligent breed that require daily mental stimulation and loving patient homes willing to provide daily exercise. They are ideal for sport homes and active families.
