Testimonials & Hall of Fame

A Few Testimonials of Dogs Who Shine: 1. Sadie     Macy x Chuckles 50/50 .  What her owner says about her:   16.5  pounds.   Amazing dog.  Her athleticism is otherwordly.   She is a star every day at the park as she juggles a beach ball while running full speed (no training from us).  Record is 12 juggles running all out for 250 yards - it's freaky stuff.  She gets videoed every day by passersby . YOU TUBE LINK:   https://youtube.com/shorts/IwR1qY689ks?si=R63qnovEdPP6R3zN . . . a great running buddy.  Even though we are running in the city, she needs no leash...she never strays from our side.

Alfred                     Moo Moo x Yansa.  7/8 BC x 1/8 Pap.   What his owner says about him:   He readily...

Why a Border-Papillon Hybrid?

Image
Why a Papillon? 1) They are smart and love to please .  This is the main quality of the Border Collie I love.   2) Another shared quality is that they are agile .   For a little dog, they a super quick and not in just a straight direction.  They can also jump really high and play or run for a long time without being tired.   That being said, they are just too small to take on a real hike or run.  3) Of all of the dogs, the fur of the Papillon flows and is soft around the face.  Their fur comes in the basic colors  of Border Collies.  Even their ears vary like Border Collies’ prick or flop.   4) Papillons are known for their health .  Of all small breeds, Papillons have fewer health problems.   5) Heat and Cold Tolerant .  Most little dogs stand the heat and some really enjoy it.  But none can stand the cold.  They are just too small.  But, as far as small dogs go, the Pappillon tolerates col...

“Chuckles” - Papillon (Dad)

Image
Chuckles cracks me up with his acrobatic antics.   He is such a fun and happy dog.  If he were a girl, I definitely would have named him joy, because he brings so much joy into the house.  He is very smart and a quick learner too.  His favorite spot to hang out is on the foot of my recliner (so now I leave the foot up for him even when I am not sitting in the chair).  Highlight Video of Chuckles: https://youtu.be/6vfj9iURuYA

“Macy” Tri Border Collie (Moo Moo’s Mom)

Image
Macy is AKC, but her lineage traces to more recent ABCA and relatives hale from Colorado, Utah, Montana and a variety of other states.  What this means is genetic diversity which is great. Macy is fast in a sprint and has quick agile moves, she is also intense, but not so much that she doesn't respond to command.  Just look at her with the ball.  She is responsive and loves to please too. To top it off, she is a sweetheart and just a lovable dog that you couldn't ask more of. At 7 mos:  Macy is perplexed.  She thought she understood this human.    Macy entertains herself:  At 4 mos. Macy is fetching fairly well and rolls over for a treat.  She is going on hikes with Yansa and the family and listens extremely well.  In 2 months, Macy has quickly learned her name, no, come, sit and down.  She has started to pick up roll over and I literally just taught her to speak on command in 10 minutes!   She also runs back...

“Moo Moo” - 75% BC / 25% Pap (Mom)

Image
  I watched a friends Beagle.  I got a stick to separate MooMoo from the Beagle as they met.  MooMoo made it a game.   VIDEO: https://youtube.com/shorts/G9Z0lyjk-Fc?feature=shared “Moo Moo”.  Works hard, plays hard.  Well, ok, she just plays hard.  But she is all out, but very “biddable” (willing to please).  She is the first to come running when I whistle and follows me around as I do yard work.  Quick and agile, but solely due to her size (and I mean solely) is not quit as fast as the full sized Border Collies.  But “almost.”   She is right there with them at every turn and never gives up.  Moo Moo loves water.  3 VIDEOS: 1.    https://youtube.com/shorts/NIn1pn5avcU?feature=shared 2.   https://youtube.com/shorts/jRxTUdIbvXM?feature=shared 3.   https://youtube.com/shorts/UNbXG1uzuls?feature=shared  If I could only keep one dog, this would be the one. I am also partial to her because she is very af...

“Yansa” - Sable Border Collie - (Dad)

Image
Just an average walk at the park.  Yansa is such a good dog.  Yansa loves to “race” the atv.  He always wants a head start.  He is on an underground fence and knows when he has to stop.  He will do this until he dies if you let him.  Yansa loves the sun, but also wants to keep an eye on us.   He obviously has the 2 BC traits of balance and no fear of height.  At 8 months, Yansa has shown that he just loves to please.    He barks at appropriate times (and sounds like he’d rip your head off), but he is really gentle, settles right down and wouldn’t hurt a fly.  We are also doing “parkour” at times.  Rock climbing, climbing up fallen trees, jumping on stumps, etc.  At 4 months, he is house trained, comes, sits, lays down (even at a distance or on a run), heels, and is learning “speak” and roll over.  He also is very athletic, but has “dial down.”   He knows jump, up, get in, over, under and ar...
