    I had a fantastic experience getting my Border Collie, Remy! From the start, Carrilea was knowledgeable, responsive, and clearly passionate about the breed. My pup arrived healthy, well-socialized, and with a confident, friendly temperament. You can tell the dogs are raised with love and care. I couldn’t be happier with Remy—smart, energetic, and an absolute joy. Highly recommended!

    I was looking for a male red merle tri border collie. I found a cute one at C Bar C Ranch and fell in love at first sight. I contacted Carrilea and she responded promptly and answered all my questions. She sent me pictures and videos of the puppy every week until I picked him up. He is healthy, doing great and he loves to play with his big brother. I'm glad I got my puppy from Carrilea. Thank you (:

    Just want to express my thanks to Carrilea of C Bar C for her professionalism and great communication. Her quick and helpful responses to my questions made my adoption of Dougie the Dog as seamless as possible. He's ten weeks now, growing like a weed and is already the star of the neighborhood.

    I can’t thank Carrilea enough for being sweet and replying quickly to all my questions. She has gorgeous healthy puppies and I’m in love with my new boy, Spectre! He fit right into my little family right away! He is exactly what I wanted and Carrilea was so good to me during the process of getting him. He’s the smartest, spunkiest boy and I love him to death! I’m so grateful that I was able to find Carrilea and her ranch of border collies🥰

    Carrilea was incredibly helpful throughout all stages of this process. Very quick to respond and constantly giving updates (both pictures and videos) of our puppy. We had a long drive to pick up our new dog and she was willing to drive an hour closer to us in order to cut off some time on our trip which we GREATLY appreciated. It has only been a few days since we received our puppy, “Dallas”, and we love him to death. He is already showing signs of being a quick learner and best of all he’s a the perfect mix of playful and cuddly. Highly recommended using C Bar C Ranch Border Collies!

    I did my homework searching for my new Border Collie, Jax, and I am so happy I discovered C Bar C Ranch Border Collies! My husband and I drove from western Kansas to northwestern Alabama to pick him up in person. I reserved him at about 2 weeks of age and Carrilea kept me informed of his progress the whole time I waited for him to be weaned. He's learning things so fast and I just love him to pieces! It means so much to me to know the parents of my pup are sound and healthy dogs.
