DescriptionWe are delighted to announce that our stunning Australian Red/ Golden and White Border Collie, Nina, has had two beautiful puppies who are looking for new homes. The puppies were born on the 26th of February and will be ready to leave after the 22nd of April. There is one boy and one girl available. Both golden and white.
Nina is an Australian Red (also known as golden and white) , show-line, pure-bred Border Collie. She is stunning and rare and turns heads wherever she goes. She is a much-loved family pet who lives at home with our children aged 4 and 6 years. She has an affectionate and playful nature. Nina has lots of energy and loves long walks and swimming but is also gentle and loving and at home is calm and happy to sleep on the sofa. Nina has been fully health and DNA checked.
The puppy’s father is Jasper, a handsome Red Miniature Poodle. Jasper is a local family pet who is loving and calm. Jasper is Kennel Club registered and fully health checked.
The combination of Border Collie and Poodle, the top 2 most intelligent breeds in the world, creates a fantastic pet who is intelligent and agile with a gentle temperament. Great as a family pet, and highly trainable. Bordoodles also make fantastic therapy dogs, known to be empathetic and supportive, they can be trained to work with vulnerable individuals. Mabel, one of our puppies from a previous litter is qualified as a fully-fledged therapy dog and works daily in a social service setting. Whilst Red, another puppy, has collected numerous rosettes and prizes competing in agility and rally competitions all over the country. Photos of both can be seen.
Pictures of Nina and Jasper’s last litter can be seen in the pictures. The puppy’s coats can be soft and wavy to tighter poodle curls. Owners with a bit of the patience for regular brushing have managed to keep the coats long but they can also be clipped short to make them more manageable. The puppy’s coats will be low to non-shedding due to the poodle cross. Nina is a small Border Collie at 18 inches in height 12Kg and Jasper, the father, is 12 inches so puppies will be classified as mini and be somewhere in this height range once fully grown. Similar to a Cockapoo.
The puppies have been reared in the heart of our family home, in our main living room. They are regularly handled and played with by us and the children and socialised with our other dogs: Coco, who is another Golden and White Border Collie, and Chilli, who is the puppy’s older sister. They are used to the everyday noises of a normal home as well as played sounds recommended by the Dogs Trust. They will be taken out in the car several times before they leave us, so they are used to travel. We have been taking them into the garden from a few weeks old to begin toilet training. They also receive one to one training and socialisation to provide them with the independence needed to leave for their new homes. Our aim is to provide the puppies with a great range of experiences early on so that when they go to their new homes, they are confident, sociable, and happy. We have received some fantastic feedback from the owners of our previous puppies. This can be provided on request.
My dogs are my passion and breeding them has always been my dream. I first bred a litter of puppies in Italy when I was practicing as a veterinary nurse. 35 years later this is only my 7th litter. I believe in responsible breeding; my dogs are primarily family pets. For many years I searched for the perfect dog and fell in love with the Golden and White Border Collies that are now part of my family. It has been my lifetime desire to create a unique breed and I am confident and proud to say that these are the only Golden and white Bordoddle puppies in the country. The rearing and welfare of the puppies is at the heart of what I do. No time or expense is spared in making sure the puppies have the best possible start to life. Every care has been taken to ensure the puppies will not develop or carry any of the following inherited conditions:
Hip Dysplasia, Collie Eye Anomaly, Chorioretinal Hypoplasia, Glaucoma, Primary Lens Luxation, Central Progressive Retinal Atrophy, Trapped Neutrophil Syndrome, Neuronal Ceriod Lipofuscinosis, Deafness.
Before they go to their new homes the puppies will be vaccinated, microchipped, wormed and health checked by a vet. The puppies come with a contract and 4 weeks free insurance. We would welcome new owners to have the puppies seen by their own vet to verify their health, a full refund would be given in the case any defects were found.
As responsible and ethical breeders, it is very important to us to find the right owners for the puppies. Please don’t be offended if we ask some questions about the type of home you will offer, we are only trying to ensure that our precious puppies end up in suitable homes.
We welcome you into our home to see the puppies before making a commitment to have one. We are also able to offer video calls for anyone who lives far away. If you decide you want to commit to give one of the puppies a loving home for life, then we would ask for a £400 deposit to secure the puppy of your choice. After this we would encourage you to name your puppy. You will receive regular pictures of your puppy until the time you collect and take to your home. You will be welcome to visit your puppy before you take it home so that you can start to build a bond. You can bring it blankets, toys, introduce your children, even other pets who may share your home. All of this helps make the transition to their new homes go smoothly.
We are in contact with all the owners of puppies from previous litters. We have lots more photos and videos we can share with you on request. Please get in touch if you have any queries, would like additional information, or to arrange a visit.
