Q. & A. with Rebecca
Why did you start breeding?
Border Collies and Mudi are both incredible breeds, and I decided to start my breeding program in order to preserve the wonderful qualities I found in my dogs. They excel both in and out of the show ring. I am dedicated to improving my lines with each generation so that these breeds will continue to thrive for a long time to come. Every litter is always a little different, but it is so fulfilling to see the different personalities and such a joy and challenge to hand-raise each puppy. I love watching them blossom!What makes your program special?
When I bring a life into the world, I make sure it gets the best start possible. This includes proper health care and socialization for each puppy, but it starts even earlier than birth. I set my puppies up for success by carefully selecting the parents of each litter, keeping in mind factors such as health, temperament, ability, structure, and herding instincts. My goal is to choose parents whose genes will bring out the best qualities in each other and produce well-balanced puppies with foundations that nurture curiosity, drive, and obedience.What are the different breed coat types in your program?
Border Collie puppies have rough coats. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Mudi puppies include black merle, yellow, white, brown, and black. Border Collie puppies include tri-color, black and white, blue merle, blue, lilac, sable, and sable merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Litter update on 06 Oct •…Biscotti is enjoying his time with my mom and my sister and playing with my sisters doodle. Through no fault of his own he is still waiting for a forever home. He has had several people interested but then they never follow through. This is a nice puppy. Great temperament-beautiful structure. He is mostly housebroken, crate trained-although he has convinced my mom he needs to sleep with her, current on vaccines-ready to go! He would love to have a forever person to snuggle in bed with! Carries yellow and brown and ready to do anything you want!

This was my first time buying from a breeder! Always got rescues. Rebecca was kind, thoughtful, and knowledgeable throughout the whole process! I flew from Michigan to Arizona and the breeder was willing to come at the airport at a crazy hour! I now have my dream dog thanks to twisted acres!
