Q. & A. with Wendy
Why did you start breeding?
My grandmother was a breeder of shelties. I spent my childhood watching her breed them and gain a reputation of a top breeder. I learned what it take to be a responsible breeder by watching her throughout the year.
What makes your program special?
Our puppies are born from mating from two beloved pets. We will not be buying dogs to breed with our girl, Gypsy or buying dogs to breed for future litters. The Sire is a family member's beloved pet as is the Dam, Gypsy.
What are the different breed coat types in your program?
Our puppies include smooth and rough coat varieties. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

I highly recommend Wendy and Water Dog Border Collies. She told me about her puppies personalities which made picking the right puppy for us super easy. We met at a public location so the entire transaction felt very safe, they even brought Gypsy for us to see the mama! Our puppy is a very healthy, kind hearted, smart guy. We love him so much 🐾🩵
