*~*~*KC Assured Breeder (Inspected)*~*~*

I'm a small, select breeder situated in the beautiful Derbyshire countryside. We moved at the end of 2014 & although we're still in wonderful Derbyshire we're now further south in the county & we're now living in the heart of the fabulous new National Forest which the dog's get daily free running in.

My dogs are absolutely number one in my life & every consideration is made around them. First & foremost my dogs are my much loved family pets & all of the dogs live freely in the house very happily together.

I only breed occasionally, no more than 1-2 litters a year, with health & temperament being my number one priority. All of my dog's are fully health screened including DNA health testing. For more information please see the "Puppies" page on my main website. I'm extremely particular on the homes my puppies go to & single line enquiries are automatically deleted. If you don't have the time to read my "Puppies" page & then send me the info I ask for then you can't possibly have the time for a puppy.

The dogs are fed & looked after as naturally as possible which includes being fed on a natural raw diet & receiving minimal chemicals, i.e., I use natural worm & flea products. All of my puppies are weaned onto raw food & it is strongly encouraged that puppies remain on this very natural diet (I primarily feed Natural Instinct which is very easy to feed). Preference is always given to prospective owners with experience of Border Collies & those who will continue with a natural diet with minimal chemicals (I will happily give any & all help required).

After many years of waiting, the start of 2014 saw the long awaited arrival of my first gorgeous Sheltie pup "Tigger" (Afterglow Ducati At Borderpride). Tigger was only taken to a couple of shows as a puppy but he qualified for Crufts 2015 on his first outing!! In April 2015 "Fancy" (Kyleburn Daydream At Borderpride) joined us - oh what a sweet heart she is!! Tigger & Fancy's first (& only litter).arrived in January 2017 from which their only daughter Toffee stayed.

**Unfortunately, due to becoming seriously ill in 2024, I had to make the excruciatingly difficult decision to let my beloved Shelties remain in their wonderful Foster homes. I'll be forever grateful to everyone for all of their help but most of all for loving my fabulous little dogs as much as I do.

More can be seen of all of my dog's on my website.
