Our mission is to produce working border collies, prioritizing temperamental stability & work ethic.

We are now offering Finch up for stud to select females only.

•

Finch is an all around, easy going, biddable dog who takes to everything we’ve tried.
He is eager to please, high toy drive, medium food drive, with high work drive and great work ethic. He loves everything and everybody, great with strangers (adults and kids alike), good friendly with other dogs, and polite with our cats as well.

He is easy to live with, a Velcro dog for sure, and loves his people. Finch has a wonderful off switch and can easily go from working livestock to relaxing in our home. Environmentally, nothing phases him. He is easy to bring anywhere and always eager to tag along, out in public, on road trips, staying in hotels, attending baseball games, going camping, he takes it all in stride.
On stock, he has trained on sheep and cattle, and does well with both. We are currently trialing him on cattle.

Finch is registered through the ABCA. Genetic testing through OS, carries 1 copy of CEA, otherwise clear. Pennhip score 0.42, OFA hips Excellent. Weighed about 47lbs at his last vet visit.

All females must be health tested and have passing hips. We also require videos of female working. Please pm for more information. I will post clips of him working in the comments.

Day 2!

Going from Saturday to Sunday, our biggest goal was to improve in some way, shape, or form! Whether that be making it one obstacle further, or even just having better timing in terms of placement of dog/handler/livestock, and we definitely improved on all of it! There are for sure some things that we’ll be working on in practice the next couple weeks, but overall we had a really great run! Day 2 brought us double the points at 180 in the 7 minutes, with only 1 obstacle left! (We were so close!)

Overall, I’m thoroughly impressed with how Finch handled everything that was thrown at him, and held his ground with the cattle. We can’t wait to see what the next trials have in store!

NCTA Fall Trial Day 1…Finch’s FIRST ever trial!

Day 1 was full of new learning experiences, and I was very impressed with Finch’s performance! We scored 90 points in the 7-minute time allotment, which was great! Finch has never gotten the opportunity to work in an environment like this, but he handled it like a champ. Stay tuned for day 2!

Our boy, Finch, working cattle for one of my good friends! Breauna had been putting a bit of training on him for me since she has consistent access to livestock, and Finch is doing fantastic! We still have some kinks to work out before the trial season, but we’re very happy with how he looks so far.

05/22/2024

Our Finch is spending 30 days with one of my good friend’s and Finch’s breeder! We typically work 1-2 times per week, but I wanted Finch to have a consistent 30 days before we start trialing later this summer/fall, so Breauna offered to tune him up a bit since she is able to be around sheep daily! I love seeing my dogs working well for a good friend, plus it gives me insight as to how I can better myself as a handler by watching how he responds to the different ways people work their dogs! Thank you Titanium Acres!

Full sibling to Finch (just a few litters later!) still available! This is the LAST cross between SparkyxNala as they are both now retired, so now’s your final chance to have a great working dog from this pairing! Trust us, you won’t regret it.

Wishing Finch the happiest 3rd birthday (yesterday)! This dog has brought us so much joy these past few years; he truly is incredibly special to us in so many ways! 🤍 We look forward to spending many more birthdays with you, Finchie
