About Dale
I an a retired guy that loves his dogs and animals. Since discovering the breed I have wanted to get more involved with Border Collies. So super intelligent.
What makes Dale’s program special
The attention that the puppies receive from me and my wife is an important factor in the development of their good dispositions. We strive to produce a well-balanced intelligent dog.

Dale has been certified by Good Dog's screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you're ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies. You'll also have the chance to share a bit about yourself and what you're looking for in a new companion. Together, you'll choose the puppy that's right for you, stay in touch with regular updates, and plan how to bring your new puppy home.
Puppy prices range from $600 and include a non-refundable deposit of $200.
“The price includes a registered American Border Collie Association pedigree, Vet visited and checked puppy, wormed and first shots with health guarantee. The deposit is non-refundable and holds your chosen puppy until the arranged day of pickup.”
Dale may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If Dale offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don’t hesitate to reach out to Dale directly.
I socialize my puppies with other people and pets to insure they are adjusted and have a good temperament. They are all in training to be the best companions possible. They are well on their way to being housebroken. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Sound Stimulation, Socialized with Adult Dogs, Socialized with Children, "No" Biting or Chewing, and Potty Training.
All puppies are wormed and first shots by my veterinarian and health checked before leaving for their new homes.
Your puppy may come with extra benefits, like a small bag of food or a toy carrying the scent of their littermates. While Ouachita Border Collies hasn’t shared specifics yet, we encourage you to reach out directly to learn what thoughtful extras they may include to help your puppy transition comfortably into their new home.
Dale offers options to help you easily get your new puppy home.
If you’re nearby, you can visit in person to pick up your pup. If you’re far away, you can travel by car or plane.
“Pick up puppy in person.”
