Cates Border Collies raises well rounded and healthy dogs that excel in sports and active lifestyles! Hi, I'm Destiny Cates!

I'm the breeder behind Cates Border Collies located in Grapevine, TX. I raise honest, solid, healthy, well-rounded, intelligent, loving, athletic, medium-high drive dogs who will thrive and excel in all adventurous activities and lifestyles, sports and more! I am extremely passionate about these dogs and I’m careful to breed and raise puppies with the best policies! This all started when I got my

first border collie, T-Rex! When I got T-Rex I fell absolutely in love with the breed and all that they offer! They are super active, intelligent, agile, and are a very versatile breed! After a few years I decided that I wanted to provide other families with border collies just like T-Rex who could double as both their family best friend and competitive sport partner!

I am very excited to announce that CBC's Ripple Affect, aka Rain, passed her tests for known genetic issues/diseases! She is a carrier of EAOD, but clear on everything else through optimal selection/wisdom panel!

Now we wait until Rain is 2 years old so we can do her OFA hips and elbows! Until then we will continue training her in obedience and in barn hunt, and getting agility foundations going!

Due to NO fault of his own, Waddles is available to a good home!

Waddles is AKC registered, vaccinated, and has been health checked and is in great health.

However, Waddles will be neutered sometime after March 5th before going home after an issue presented itself and the vets found it in his best interest to go ahead and neuter him. His quality of life is in NO WAY affected or in question, and he can live a normal happy healthy life, and ALL medical expenses will be covered by me until he is transferred to his new owner AFTER surgery!

He is also kennel trained and has been doing well with potty training, but keep in mind it's still a work in progress!

Waddles is a wonderful, wonderful puppy. He loves people and other dogs and enjoys playing with his toys and his cow hooves. Waddles would be better suited in a very active pet home or sports home!

If you are SERIOUSLY interested please message me on here, or call/text me at (337) 412-4729.

Delivery IS available upon request and I will go as far as Lafayette, Louisiana.

01/26/2024

CBC's Ripple Affect, call name Rain!

We are currently waiting on the results for her genetic testing!

We are confident she will pass all genetic tests!

Charlie and I have some wonderful and very fun adventures coming up!

Since moving and going through the holidays we haven't done any agility training, but I'm happy to announce that we are back doing agility and are taking classes at 2 different places!! We are hoping to compete this year in agility!!

However, we recently just signed up for barn hunt classes!!! We are so excited to get started in a new doggo sport and hopefully start trialing in barn hunt here soon too!!

Due to NO fault of his own, TURBO, is now available to a wonderful home!

Previous person interested in him decided that they didn't want a male dog and didn't realize (despite his name) he was a male and not a female.

Turbo so far has shown to be a very active and spontaneous puppy. He is very outgoing and confident, and already plays a gentle game of tug-o-war with us. He sure does tug with all of his might and shakes his head side to side when tugging, it's very cute. He even chases his mini ball toys on the floor and carries them around.

Turbo is also very cuddly and loves to be held. He's been very good about being handled and introduced to new stuff and things! He's also a FOODIE! LOL.

I am excited to announce that Ducky is in ACTIVE labor! We will have puppies very, very soon! Stay tuned for updates!!

Well, we are on day 61 and Ducky is getting closer to having her puppies! She is pretty restless tonight! She is up and down and moving from spot to spot! She has gone to her whelping pool, between the wall and a mattress we are getting rid of, tried to go under a bed, and then back to her pool! Now she is walking around the house getting all the attention from me and my husband! I will do a temp check in about an hour!

I don't know if me and Ducky will get any sleep at all tonight, lol. I will keep everyone posted!!

Cates BorderCollies

10/11/2023

UPDATE!

We are very excited to tell you all that we were able to get Ducky x-rayed today, and it is looking like she is going to be having around 8-9 puppies!!

We think we see 9 total so far though if you count the purple dots on the image!

8-9. PUPPIES.

We are very excited and can't wait to meet everyone here soon! We are getting closer and closer to her estimated due date! Hopefully she does us all a solid and has them in the next couple of days!

UPDATE

Unfortunately, Ducky's appointment for tomorrow may not happen due to my foot injury and my husband not being able to take off in time to get Ducky to her appointment for the x-ray to get a complete head count. We are all sad, because we were looking forward to seeing a head count tomorrow.

However, I will also share with you all that Ducky has started to act pretty restless. She will ever so often go into the puppy room and nest around in her birthing pool. I'm thinking anytime this week and beginning of next week we will have all the tinies!

The Cates BorderCollies really enjoy getting their frozen stuffed kong toys! Frozen stuffed kong toys are wonderful at keeping your busy puppers occupied for awhile when you’re busy or away! We also like to get regular cow hooves and fill them with the kong toy stuffers and freeze those too! The dogs go nuts for both!!

Agility Training w/Charlie

I have had quite a few people ask me why it is taking so long to get Charlie's genetic DNA results back, so I'd thought I'd share here on the page the breakdown of why it takes 2-3 weeks to get DNA results when genetic testing your dogs! 1. DNA Extraction Using the swab that you have provided, we go through a series of steps to purify and then amplify your pup’s DNA. These steps make it easier to analyze the DNA in downstream steps. 2. Fragmentation, precipitation, suspension, and hybridization This is just a fancy way to say that we break up the DNA into small pieces to make it easier to work with. Then, we look for particular A’s, T’s, C’s, and G’s using “probes” laid out on a special lab chip. 3. Genotyping We use a process called “extension” to highlight DNA-bound probes and make them visible. Then, we image the DNA with a sophisticated scanning system. Finally, we use our advanced software to determine your dog’s precise DNA makeup. So, there you have it folks, this is why it takes a fair amount of time to get the results! Now enjoy this video of me doing some agility training with Charlie! Cates BorderCollies
