Happenstance Border Collies

Happenstance Border Collies We are a Purebred Preservation Breeder of Border Collies. Our dogs are purposefully bred for their j

Happenstance Border Collies is founded by Amanda Gross who has a passion for all things dog. We are an Accountable Preservation Breeder of the Purebred Border Collie. Type, health, temperament are at the utmost importance for us. Amanda is a professional dog trainer with experience in veterinary. She teaches, trains and trials for various events including Agility, Obedience, Conformation, Herding,

Rally, and more. Agility is where all the fun began and the love for all things dog grew. Formerly a practice manager at a Colorado Springs veterinary clinic, she was able to move to the Eastern Plains of Washington State on a lovely plot of land where the dogs are able to run, play, and grow. We have cats and horses out here for our puppies to be raised around. Our dogs are active and are all treated as well respected members of the canine family here. We are located South West of Spokane in a beautiful area with beautiful scenery and lots of space for the dogs. From a young age our dogs are well socialized, trained, and given the opportunity to show us their true personalities. We moved from Colorado to Warden in September of 2021 and hope to make this out forever home! My goal in breeding is to produce dogs that are sound in mind and body, willing to be a good working partner, breeding prospect, and best friend. I welcome any questions regarding my breedings and breeding plans. Puppies are raised in my home with plenty of exposure to dogs, cats, kids, adults, surfaces, sights, sounds, and smells. They get an abundance of affection, attention, exercise, and socialization. I take great pride in my puppies and strive to make them as well rounded, great companions as I possibly can.

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!

The first meal is ALWAYS the messiest lol
Recon x Sleet babies.
They are started on canned food mixed with milk replaced, water, egg. Mama is still nursing them and we never intervene with mama wanting to nurse or wean her puppies. She has access to be with them or away from them as much as she would like, all she has to do is jump in their side of the pen.

The Kennewick, WA dog show is over and it was great as always!
We took two dogs with us this year, half siblings.
Ponzi, *new CH* Happenstance Embezzlement finished her championship with two majors!
Repo, Happenstance Debt Collector earned his first points with 2 4pt majors, one of which he went best of opposite s*x over a special!

In addition, our Cloud, Sierra's Silver Lining for Happenstance earned her BCAT title running FastCat!
Z, Happenstance Settle The Score owned by Katy got his first major, only needs a major to finish now!
Johnny, Happenstance Walk The Line owned by Alicia at only 7 months old at his first show got his first major!

In all, there were 8 majors to be had and the Happenstance bred dogs walked away with 6 out of the 8 majors! I am so proud of the dogs and their owners!!!

Congratulations!!!

It's been a minute since I've posted here, it's been a busy summer!
My sweet girl Ponzi, Happenstance Embezzlement, attended the Sammamish Kennel Club dog shows with her handler friend Hannah and picked up a couple of points! We are so proud of her and thankful to Hannah!

From our Casper x Verse litter, this black and white male is a water hound! I filled up the little pool and he was instantly in it, making it muddy of course.
He was born on 3/7/24 and would love to join in on summer adventures, especially ones that involve water!

These busy girls are enjoying some lovely days!
They love running, playing in the water, getting dirty, eating snacks, playing with to he other dogs, socializing, and just being silly.
Biscuit and Muffin will be 1 year old in July and would be fantastic active pets or even possible performance prospects. They have sweet, softer temperaments but are very food motivated and enjoy affection and bonding!
