MAPLEBORDERS

My breeding aims are to assist families to find companion Border Collies who are 'clever, calm & cuddly'. Consequently my emphasis is on temperament and health, and focusing on improving Border Collies as excellent family companions, as well as their other skills in dog sports such as fly ball, noseworks, agility, obedience. My dogs have had the full range of Health Tests available for Border Collies – including a Full DNA Profile, and been tested against known Border Collie inheritable diseases (CL – Ceroid Lipofuscinosis, TNS – Trapped Neutrophil Syndrome and CEA Collie Eye Anomaly) plus Hip and Elbow X-Rays to help prevent Hip Dysplasia and Elbow problems. My dogs are exercised off property in a range of environments, mixing with people, kids and other dogs. We enjoy participating in Scentwork, Rally and general Obedience. My dogs live with me in the house 24/7 (with cats). We usually only have a small number of puppies each year and we always have a waiting list. My dogs whelp indoors – not in separate quarters away from the house. Visitors and inspections are always welcomed. I am retired and home full time.
