First, I require an adoption questionnaire to be filled out by all prosective buyers. There will be a spot on the application to sign that you have read this page in its entirety. Incomplete or unintelligible applications will be returned or rejected. This application process allows me to determine which type of puppy would be best suited for your situation, and to see if your situation is suited for your puppy. I reserve the right to refuse the sale of a pup in the event of a poor match and will suggest a pup better suited to the buyer's needs. People who don't get a pup or don't get what they are looking for, may remain in the file (if desired) to be at the top of the list for our next litter. Please contact me if you would like me to email you a copy of our application. My application is not listed on this website and must be requested either via phone or email. You can click on this link to request an application: way2medeb@hotmail.com ...OR, Click the Application link after reading this page in it's entirety. It's at the bottom.

Puppies... Once I am certain a bitch is definitely pregnant, I will accept deposits to hold pups. (See payment info for deposit information.) Within 24 hours of the puppies' birth, I will contact all prospective buyers on my waiting list . (Waiting list consists of all applications I'm holding in my file). I will also post photos on this website of each puppy, showing their color and listing thier sex for buyers to begin looking and trying to decide which pups they like. I update all information as the pups grow. I attempt to update photos and information once a week on the pup's birth day. (Sometimes I get a little late, but usually get them on there.) Once breeders and owners have made their choices, buyers will have their choice of available pups. Pups that have been purchased will be marked "sold" on their photos on the "Puppy" page of this site. If a check is mailed for a deposit, the pup will be marked "pending" until the check arrives and clears. At that time the pup will be marked "sold".

NOTE:  I can in no way guarantee the color or sex of my pups before they are born. I cannot guarantee what a puppy's ears will do after it is born. Ears often don't set until after the puppy is done teething or around 6 months of age. The enzime which causes the gums to soften so the teeth can emerge also softens the cartilage in the ears. Ears may change several times before they finally set. Ears can be floppy, tipped, prick, one up and one down, or any other natural ear setting. There is no standard for a border collie's ears, with only large floppy hound-type ears not acceptable at all. The color white should never predominate. Eyes open around 2 weeks of age. It takes a couple weeks after that to determine the true color the eyes will be. I cannot guarantee eye color until after 5 weeks of age.

Stud Service...It is very unlikely that I will use one of my dogs to stud out. In most of the cases that I have been contacted, the bitches had no papers, were purchased from a local shelter, had horrible pedigrees, were of questionable origin, etc. I WILL NOT breed one of my dogs to any bitch that does not have a full ABCA, IBCA or AKC, pedigree with active quality working dogs in it, nor will I breed to someone who has never bred before or knows nothing about Border Collie genetics. I will not breed my dogs to any bitch with a questionable temperament. I have had many discussions regarding this with people who just want a pup out of their "wonderful" unregistered dog that came from where ever, that want their children to experience the "miracle" of nature (without any concept of what becomes of the resulting offspring), and other reasons for NOT breeding their pet. If you are interested in breeding an unregistered, poorly registered, poorly bred pet, no matter how "sweet" she may be, please do not contact me. This may cause some to think I am a snob, or that I have a stuck up attitude. That may very well be so. However, my dogs are my life. I am responsible for what becomes of them and their offspring. I have only their best interests at heart and if that hurts some feelings or steps on some toes, it is an unavoidable evil. My breeding terms are listed on my stud dog's pages also.

SPECIAL NOTE:  All of our pups are sold with a spay/neuter contract unless determined otherwise to be in the best interest or future benefit of the border collie breed through a conscientious breeding program. Breeding rights will be granted only to persons currently in a proven breeding program and must have dogs already working in a herding or sporting capacity. All registration papers will be held by myself until I have proof that puppies have been altered. Pet puppy papers will reflect a limited, non-breeding registration. Unless you are an experienced working border collie dog breeder, please find your puppy elsewhere if you are looking to breed it. If you wish to do agility, flyball, frisbee, etc. and you believe that an unaltered dog builds stronger bones and muscle, I will accept vasectomies and tubal ligations on my puppies, before sexual maturity, and with written confirmation from a licensed veterinarian who performs the procedure that it has been done.

We have spent 12 years developing the bloodlines and quality of dogs we currently have in our breeding program. We strive to breed the absolute best, well rounded, most versatile, healthy, sound and athletic working companion dogs available anywhere. We will not allow our kennel name to be used on backyard bred, substandard, non-registered border collies, which are sold to whomever has the money to buy them, nor do we want any of our pups or their offspring turning up in shelters or rescues. We are firm on our spay/neuter policy. Likewise, we will not stud our males to any inferior, unregistered, or substandard bitches. Any bitches considered must be of quality breeding and pedigree, with certified good hips and eyes, temperament and instinct, must be current on all vaccinations, have a recent bordatella vaccine, and be certified free of any internal or external parasites or contagious diseases such as brucellosis.

We will gladly take back ANY of our pups at ANY time should ANY problem arise! In fact we require it! It's in our contract. Our puppies/dogs are our first concern! ALL shipping/transportation fees are strictly the responsibility of the buyer.

If you have any questions about these policies, please don't hesitate to ask.
