CuChulainn Kennels
            Border Collies
We breed AKC/ABCA Border Collies.  All of our dogs are
health screened before breeding and puppies are guaranteed.  
We love our dogs and they are all important members of our
family.

Border Collies are an active breed.  They are the consummate
herding dog and excel at sports such as agility, rally,
obedience, freestyle, dock diving; you name it, they can do it!  
They are highly intelligent and need exercise and mental
stimulation to be happy.  That doesn't mean they do not make
great family pets.  As long as they are active members of a
family they are wonderful!

SOME CONSIDERATIONS BEFORE YOU BUY A PUPPY

We all love puppies, but they do grow up.  Consider what your
ideal dog would be like and remember that it takes commitment
and work to help your dog develop into the wonderful
companion you envision.

*If you have never owned a Border Collie please read up on the
breed before deciding to purchase a puppy.  Border Collies are
great dogs but require exercise and mental stimulation to be
happy. They are extremely intelligent and love to learn new
things.  They were bred to work which is why they make such
great sporting dogs (and of course, herding, which is what they
were bred for and where they excel). A Border Collie can make a
great family pet in the right home, however, Border Collies with
very high drive belong in herding or sporting homes. If you are a
couch potato and want a dog to hang out with while you watch TV
do not get a Border Collie. (Or, consider adopting an older Border
Collie from a shelter. There are many out there that need good,
loving homes where they can enjoy their senior years.)

All puppies, regardless of breed, require a great deal of time in
the beginning and should be socialized with as many different
people, especially children, as you can manage.  At the very least
you should have your puppy attend a good puppy kindergarten
class where he/she can socialize off leash with other puppies.  As
the puppy matures she/he should attend at least one obedience
class.  This will help set the stage for a happy, pleasant dog and a
happy, pleasant home.

If you have children in the home do not expect them to be in
charge of the puppy.  Everyone in the house should be informed
about the care, house training, feeding, etc. But, an adult should
always be in charge of or monitor the feeding, training and care of
the dog.
