I'm the breeder behind Effervescent Border Collies located in Dallas, TX. We are a small kennel with large expectations! The dogs in our breeding program are part of our family. They are structurally sound, healthy, intuitive, and have wonderful temperaments. We enjoy performing in sports and conformation with our dogs. Our goal is to match our puppies with the perfect, loving forever homes! We do require a deposit to hold your place in line for a puppy. Deposits are non-refundable, but are transferable to subsequent litters if for some reason the original litter doesn’t have what works for you and your family.

It is important to me that I am breeding versatile, well-rounded, socialized, and healthy puppies for others to welcome into their homes and hearts.
What makes Alisha’s program special
I strive to breed healthy, quality puppies that can fit any lifestyle. My puppies are well-tempered, socialized dogs who can excel in work, show, and as beloved companions. Our focus on temperament, health, and performance ability are what sets our program apart. If you are looking for the perfect furry companion, look no further!
