Meet the breeder

I'm James & Barbora K., the breeder behind Wiggles 4 Life located in Hartsville, SC. We are breeders of top-quality AKC Border Collies. Our dogs are bred for their amazing health, intelligence, and temperament with foundations that nurture curiosity, drive, and obedience.

Q. & A. with James & Barbora

  • Why did you start breeding?

    As we learned more about responsible breeding practices, I wanted to do my part to produce healthy, well-bred puppies. We have always been passionate about the well-being of animals. We wanted to put our passion to good use! It's been a joyful commitment, and it is a pleasure to live with, work with, and share with others these wonderful dogs.
  • What makes your program special?

    When we bring a life into the world, we 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. We set our puppies up for success by carefully selecting the parents of each litter, keeping in mind factors such as health, temperament, ability, and athleticism. Our goal is to choose parents whose genes will bring out the best qualities in each other and produce well-balanced puppies. We have high expectations for the puppies and strive to place each one in an enriching and loving home!
  • What are the different breed coat types in your program?

    Our puppies have rough coats. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include slate merle, blue merle, red merle, blue, lilac, red, sable, sable merle, white and blue, white and blue merle, white and red, white and red merle, and slate. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    James and Barbara are incredible Breeders. They made this entire process easy and safe. From the moment that we adopted our two puppies to the time we picked them up, they were in constant communication with us. They sent us updates and pictures sometimes daily. They are responsible, kind and professional. I would definitely buy my next puppy from them and highly recommend them to any buyer. Thank you, Katie

    James and Barbora were so easy to work with. They sent us regular photos and videos as we waited anxiously until the day we could pick up our puppy. They seemed very knowledgeable about the breed and were very friendly people. They gave us a goody bag with a lot of items to help the puppy transition and helped answer questions we had. We would recommend getting a puppy from them 100x! Thank you so much.

    Barbara and James are great people to work with, they really do everything for you other than raising your pup.This is my second pup because the first one needed a friend and that they are. Border Collies are great dogs and it can be a blessing to have more than one. Might be one more in the future. Thanks guys for my fur babies.

    Fantastic Experience with Wiggles4Life! We had an amazing experience with Wiggles4Life as our Border Collie breeder! From the very beginning, they were incredibly responsive and always available to answer our questions. They were so nice and accommodating, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. Throughout the waiting period, they sent us lots of pictures and updates, which made us feel connected and reassured that our puppy was in great hands. It's clear that they are passionate about their dogs and put so much care into raising healthy, well-socialized puppies. When it was time to take our puppy home, they even sent us home with a thoughtful care package that included food, a blanket, and other essentials to help with the transition. If you're looking for a Border Collie, I can't recommend Wiggles4Life enough! Their dedication and attention to detail are truly top-notch.
