Description
Our lovely girl has had a litter of 5 pups.
We have 3 chocolate tri rough-coat Border Collie pups available: 1 girl and 2 boys.
Mum and pups are raised in our family home in Wales.
They are Forthglade fed, handled daily, and used to normal household sounds from day one.
These pups could suit either a family home or a working farm / agility home: they have the potential for either path.
We take socialisation seriously and strive for puppies to leave our home confident, curious, playful and ready to adapt to life in their new homes. Border Collies are intelligent so we make sure they get the right mental stimulation early on.
Our pups will be well loved, regularly handled, gently introduced to new experiences, and exposed to sensory challenges. They will be well socialised and introduced to as many sounds and experiences as possible: household noises (vacuuming, music, etc), and other animals including cats, rabbits, reptiles and farm animals. They will have regular play inside, experience the world outside, have moments of independence, and will begin toilet training and basic commands whilst they are with us.
Mum and Dad both have a friendly and lovely temperament, are hip scored and health tested. Both parents are on the smaller side for Border Collies, so we expect the puppies to be similarly sized.
-MUM-
Mum is our family dog — she comes from a local working sheep farm line and has herding in her blood. We live on a sheep farm ourselves, but we chose not to work her. She has enjoyed home agility throughout her life.

Viewings & Leaving Dates
Viewings welcome from 9th December when pups are 5 weeks old.
Puppies will be ready to leave from 13th January, giving them valuable extra time with mum.
A slightly longer stay helps them develop stronger social skills, independence, and smoother transitions into their new homes.
A note on ******************
A puppy could make a lovely ****************** surprise or a heart-warming way to start the New Year, but please remember a dog is for life, not just for the festive season. These pups will need commitment, time and love every day, and we want them to go to homes ready for a lifelong family member.
Before leaving for their forever homes, we have a contract in place and ask for a home check (via satisfactory video/photos) plus a short questionnaire to ensure each puppy is a good match for your family and lifestyle.
Please don’t hesitate to get in touch for more information or any questions.
We’re happy to send photos and videos as they grow. We take daily clips and share updates so you can stay part of their journey from the start.
We’re always happy to stay in touch after they leave, and we’re available for ongoing advice or questions at any time.
