We are just starting out with our Border Collies. We have selected them for their intelligence and abilities, in addition to their beauty. We have chosen to only have ABCA Border Collies. This is a short explanation of why we have chosen the border collie and some information we have found. When looking for a breed to work with us with the goats, we came back time and again to the Border Collie. The name of the Border Collie comes from the time when the breed was developed along the Scottish/English "border"; adding the word "collie" means herder in Gaelic.; hence, border herder or "border collie". The border collie is well known for their natural herding abilities, biddable nature and outstanding intelligence. These 3 key points in the border collie makes it a truly wonderful dog to work with. During the time that these dogs were used along the border lands, they were bred for "Function, not form" And " Brains not beauty". Though they are a truly beautiful dog, this breeding for intelligence and ability makes the appearance of the border collie wide ranging. From slick and short to rough and long coats, to colors of every range. From the standard black and whites, to blues, reds, lilacs, to mearls of the blue, black or red also. Contrary to what people have seen, they also come with blue eyes or flecks of blue in their beautiful eyes; or odd eyed. You will see one of our Border Collies is odd eyed.... |

As different as they are in appearance, so to, they all have different personalities, and different "drives". There are low, medium and high drive dogs. The high drive dogs would be considered your serious herding and agility/fly ball dogs. These dogs are ones that require allot more attention than your low to medium dogs. Though the low to medium drive dogs are still great dogs and can still herd sheep, ducks or geese and play ball; they tend to not be as intense as high drive dogs. Then we have dogs that also make great companion dogs. Let us know your situation, so we can try to help you pick the puppy that is right for your needs. We currently have three ABCA registered females, Tess, Flirt and Kit, that we have added to our family, in addition to our Original Male Fender. You can see each if them on the males or females pages. We appreciate you visiting our ABCA Registered Border Collies and if you would like more information on the border collies we are starting to raise here on our ranch in Kansas or further information on our philosophy in caring for them please send an email to info@bar6diamondranch.com, or call us at (785) 497-2891.
