About Border Collie
Border Collies are very hard-working dogs. In addition to meaningful activity that doesn't allow this dog to become too excited, the right amount of calm is important. It starts with the puppy. For Border Collie puppies, rest training is more important than activity. To do justice to these popular dogs, dog owners should be very active and need a lot of experience.

Why HonestDog?
What makes HonestDog different from other platforms
Full transparency
We show what's on file: who the breeders are, how they work and which health records they've uploaded. That way you can form your own picture.
Verified breeders, open records
Every breeder on HonestDog has their identity and documents checked before their profile goes live. Health records they upload are shown on the profile, so you can see exactly what has been tested.
Clear vetting criteria
Before a breeder profile goes live, we check identity, club membership or breeding permit, and photos of the breeding environment. HonestDog puts you in touch with the breeder and doesn't sell dogs itself — we can't guarantee any individual dog.

We've already checked the breeders' documents and gathered the details, so you can skip the endless research and focus on finding the right puppy for your family.
