I have had 7 fur family members, all border collies. High energy and smart pups! Fish was 18.5 yrs old last November when we lost him. I have raised ours from new born to senior. I am experienced in very developmental age of a pup. I have been through and given obedience and agility classes with all of them. I believe in socializing pups, important to give them the confidence to be out with other people/pups. It also lessens their anxiety when they are around other people and dogs. I believe in healthy treats and spending time with our fur family members. I cooked for all my pups. It was important for me to know what was in my pups food. I believe that is way I have been blessed with long living pups. It has give. Me experience in managing senior pups. I can offer love, caring and a safe place to your beloved pet.
