I'm Devynn J., the breeder behind Zodiac Border Collies located in Dungannon, VA. We decided to start a responsible, in-home breeding program in order to produce quality farm dogs that also fit into a home setting. We focus on breeding dogs that have enough drive on the farm to work, but also have amazing temperaments and can quickly adapt to a calm family setting.
Q. & A. with Devynn
Why did you start breeding?
My passion started before I could remember. My mother shows me photos of tiny me with our late working border collie, Jake, who was a team with a female we had named Tick. They worked with my parents on our cow/calf operation when I was little. As i grew, so did my passion for the breed. I now take pride in preserving, bettering, and protecting the breed for what it was originally intended for.
What makes your program special?
When you buy a puppy from us, you become a part of our Zodiac family. I offer boarding for any of my puppies when parents go on vacation. I offer discounted training packages for all of my buyers. Most importantly, we have these dogs and puppies in our home, carefully selecting each breeding pair to complement each other. We want to breed the highest drive with the best off switch and brains.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Border Collie
About Tick
Tick is a female Border Collie. Carefully selected as a great representative of her breed, Devynn decided to make her part of their program. Devynn has passed Good Dog’s screening process, which involved a review of their breeding practices, environment, and the mental and physical health of their dogs.
Lex, mom
Border Collie
About Lex
Lex is our go to working dog for the farm, she is easy to work and makes wide outruns. She has exceptional eye and style. She isn’t afraid to bite but isn’t too pushy on stock. She doesn’t care about a ball or any type of sport, so I pair her with a male that has exceptional toy/sport drive to bring in some balance. Lex settles really well, lays on the couch or in the floor for hours napping, then is ready to get up, run out the door and load in the truck, side x side, or four wheeler!
Spec, dad
Border Collie
About Spec
Spec is my heart dog, however it’s not the only reason we selected him for breeding. Spec shows outstanding working ability and drive. He is extremely willing to please, biddable, and an easy dog to work in both herding and sports. My 8 year old competes him on the dock, he is respectful and obedient to anyone that handles although I am “mom”. Spec has an impeccable off switch, making him easy to get along with on a daily basis. He is happy working or laying on the couch. He is extremely affectionate and loves to be near me.
Jake, dad

About Jake
Jake is a male Border Collie. Carefully selected as a great representative of his breed, Devynn decided to make him part of their program.
