Do you dream in color? 💛💛
Hilt x Taxi boys are so lovely, they love to play with toys, get cuddles and play in the pool.
We also have some older puppies and young adults

We sent our beautiful girl Scurry to the Spokane shows with Hannah Davis handling her. She went Best of Breed over the finished Champions three days in a row to start and finish her championship in just 3 days!
We are so pleased with her in every way, to have her quality recognized by three esteemed judges is a dream come true!
She is ready to put her feet back in her water bucket and get dirty again after being a clean show dog for the long weekend.

Swindle is a 2 year old smooth coated Border Collie that we acquired from a friend as a puppy. Over the weekend we had radiographs of his hips done to be sent to OFA, unfortunately he will not pass as per the experienced veterinarian.
He is a wonderful dog that will make a wonderful active pet. He is very social, sweet, affectionate, food motivated, crate trained, good on a leash, in the car, traveling etc. He has no symptoms but I am discounting him due to the non passing scores he will receive and he must be neutered.
As always the best match is of utmost importance to us! If you think that may be you reach out!

Why do I wait until 7+ weeks old to offer individual puppies to people?
I evaluate all of my puppies for temperament, structure, and home suitability. I never place puppies based on color, markings or from pictures alone. It takes a lot of time, analysis, skill, behavior knowledge, observation, intervention and playing match maker to ensure puppies go to homes that are suitable for them. My goal is always for a harmonious match, for the family to be just as happy with the puppy as the puppy is happy in their home.
No one knows these little bundles better than their breeder. If they need extra time, attention, specific types of homes it is up to me to ensure they get that.
If you would like to pick a puppy from a photo at 5 days old, I will not be the breeder for you. If you want to have an evaluation that is truthful and with the puppies best interests in mind then let's talk!
Structure is every bit as important too. If someone wants a show prospect or sporting prospect then certain physical/structural attributes are critical to a good match. Every breeding we do is with the purpose of creating better and better next generations.

Baths done, puppy pen clean. I just sit here for a while and watch the puppies enjoy life. They have their own TV and watch kids shows throughout the day

Ive been slow in responding to people, I apologize! This is just the baby puppy part of my 2x a day routine right now 🤪
We do currently have 2 gold males looking for their families and the next babies are 8 weeks on 2/14, hopefully pictures on the website tomorrow of the 4 week olds!

I call him Sir, he is the sweetest thing, tail is always wagging, loves toys, very food motivated, loves the cat, and did I mention he is a little guy, no really he is quite small for the breed!
He is a great pet or light performance prospect!

Every so often we have some dogs that we want to keep in the breeding program but would let go on partnership or co own. These are two of them.
Copper, Happenstance Strike Price, is a lovely sable girl who is 2 years old
Wilde, Happenstance You Keep Me Hangin' On, is your traditional back and white 13 month old.
Both are fantastic and we have high hopes for!
