More about Tina

  • Why Tina started breeding

    After purchasing my first Border Collie in 2004 I was hooked. I was lucky enough to purchase my next Border Collie from an amazing breeder who became my mentor and taught me so much about the breed and the genetics behind them. I have enjoyed learning more about this breed and seeing all that they can do!

  • Hip Dysplasia

    Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.

    A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
