About Highland Border Collies
A family-owned breeding program dedicated to producing exceptional Border Collies with outstanding health, temperament, and intelligence.
Breeding Excellence Since 2010
Highland Border Collies was founded on a simple principle: every Border Collie deserves to be healthy, happy, and placed in a loving home. What started as a passion for the breed has grown into one of the most respected breeding programs in the United States.
Our ranch provides the perfect environment for raising intelligent, well-socialized puppies. We believe in quality over quantity, producing only a few carefully planned litters each year to ensure every puppy receives the attention and care they deserve.
Our Core Values
These principles guide every decision we make, from breeding to placement.
Passion for the Breed
We fell in love with Border Collies over 15 years ago and have dedicated our lives to preserving and improving this remarkable breed.
Health First
Every breeding decision is guided by comprehensive health testing. We only breed dogs with clear genetic panels and excellent veterinary health.
Purposeful Breeding
We breed for intelligence, temperament, conformation, and working ability. Each litter is carefully planned with specific goals in mind.
Family Environment
Our puppies are raised in our home, not in kennels. They experience daily socialization with children, other animals, and various environments.
