My Approach to Breeding Border Collies
At Bordermeade Border Collies, my goal is simple.
I strive to breed well-adjusted, loyal, healthy, and happy puppies with excellent temperaments and sound conformation.
My focus is on producing dogs that:
• Fit into real family life
• Have the ability to participate in dog sports if desired
• Are resilient and able to handle everyday challenges and environments
Border Collies are intelligent and capable dogs, but they need the right foundation.
Everything I do is aimed at setting my puppies up to succeed in a variety of homes.
Why I Chose the Border Collie
I grew up in the south-eastern suburbs of Melbourne, and there was always a dog around.
But the dog that truly shaped my direction was my Border Collie x Kelpie while my children were growing up.
She was:
• Intelligent
• Well-behaved
• Loyal
• Easy to live with
It showed me just how good the right dog can be—and from that point on, I knew I would one day focus on breeding Border Collies.
Experience With Breeding & Animals
Breeding is not new to me.
Throughout my life, I have bred and cared for :
• Horses and ponies
• Cattle
• Pigs
• Pet mice
• Homing Pigeons
This background has given me a strong understanding of:
• Responsible breeding practices
• Animal health and care
• Raising young animals correctly
I brought that same mindset and experience into my dog breeding program.
I welcomed my first breeding girl in early 2021, and my first litter was born in 2023.
Training & Development
I actively work with my dogs through obedience training, with a focus on creating well-mannered and manageable companions.
Good behaviour doesn’t happen by accident—it comes from consistent guidance, structure, and clear expectations.
This carries through into how my puppies are raised.
My Bloodlines & Breeding Focus
My dogs are predominantly from show lines, selected for:
• Structure
• Temperament
• Overall balance
While I value these qualities, I do not actively show.
After over 30 years of showing ponies, I chose to focus my time and energy on raising and developing my dogs instead.
Memberships & Commitment to Standards
I am committed to responsible breeding and ongoing learning.
I am a member of:
• Dogs NSW (ANKC)
• Port Macquarie Dog Obedience Club
These affiliations help ensure I am breeding to recognised standards and continuing to develop my knowledge.
What You Can Expect From Me as a Breeder

• Honest and clear communication
• A structured and thoughtful breeding program

I take my role as a breeder seriously, and I am always here to support my puppy owners.
