About This Blog

This blog is only MY opinion, and if you do not like what I think of a breeder, or you own one of their dogs, or you agree with what I'm saying, I would love to hear from you and know what you think! This blog is mainly for only me, so I can compare breeders to purchase pups from once I am a bit older. But, it is also a good source for people looking to find a breeder of border collies.

Zig's Border Collies

This seems to be an excellent breeder.  The puppies are raised in the family's home, they offer a "puppy packet" to new owners of their puppies, she only ships by land because of her views on the air shipping experience, and the dogs/puppies are in great condition.  The one drawback to this breeder is that they do not mention that they do health testing on the dogs they breed and even if they do, they do not post the results of the testing for people looking into purchasing one of their pups.  But they do say that they keep very accurate records on each pup from the day they are born.  Personally, if they do health testing on their dogs, I would definitely purchase one of these puppies.
