After a sleepless night for all concerned, Max and Silvy became proud parents to 7 beautiful puppies. 6 girls and 1 boy. Some have tricolour markings. All doing well and have had a vet check showing no issues.

Exciting times ahead watching this lot develop.

We are expecting. Working with Milangimbi Border Collies, Barrowburn is expecting puppies by our Max and from Silvy, a lovely blue show girl owned by Milangimbi.
Sire and Dam have exceptional temperaments.

Some lovely brothers and sisters for our Bee. There may even be some colour.

Due date is Tuesday…. Watch this space.

Very proud of Mr Max.

Max’s turn in the spotlight this weekend in Canberra with an Endurance Title before he ages out - how is he nearly 8 already?

He handled the 20km without issue and came home strongly at the finish. Max will now be known as “Collinda Time to Fly ET” (DogsSA pending).

Many thanks to the organisers, my son for training Max and to Max himself for his persistence and enthusiasm.

I suspect we will both be tired tomorrow.

Bee is now “Barrowburn Bee CCD” (pending DogsSA) after finishing her first Obedience title at the Riverland event on the weekend. She also picked up two Novice Rally passes.

Anyone looking for an older BC puppy? (6 months). There is a lovely boy available from another breeder. If he doesn’t find a home in SA in the next few weeks he will return to the interstate breeder. PM me for details.

Congratulations to my beautiful girl Bee for her CCD Obedience pass at Southern Districts yesterday. She is pleased with herself!!

Bee chilling at the Adelaide Royal. She behaved beautifully but unfortunately did not place in the very large class of puppies. Now having a well earned rest. Congratulations to all the winners. Our breed had the largest entry numbers.

Bee has a successful weekend at the Working Dogs show and the Border Collie Club Show.
Baby Puppy of breed at WD which means she was in the lineup for Baby in show but not this time.
2nd in Baby puppy at the BCCSA show with her best friend Cherry (Beecee Border Collies) wining the class. Baby Puppy in show was won by Paula Wachtel and her very lovely Tookurra boy.
Huge thanks to Chantelle for showing her at the WD show and the property classes in the BC show.

Pups are 8 weeks next Tuesday (21st). Due to family changing circumstances and through no fault of the pups, we have a boy looking for his forever family. If you are interested in a Barrowburn pup please get in touch.

“Aaawww Dad you are so embarrassing”

Max helping clean the babies again this morning while mum feeds them

06/01/2023

How lucky is Jess? Men who help with the babycare are definitely keepers. Max loves his babies and loves being actively involved in their care and cleaning. This isn’t that common but both parents have exceptional temperaments.

06/01/2023

Sorry baby. Not going to get any milk from Dad.

Who knew feeding was an aerobatic manoeuvre?

30/12/2022

Three days old and growing, sleeping, eating. They’re all doing very well - including mum.

27/12/2022

Barrowburn is delighted to announce the safe arrival of 6 precious babies. 3 girls and 3 boys. Mum is pleased with herself but exhausted. Dad is proud and looking from afar for now. Many thanks to Beecee Border Collies for helping today.

24/12/2022

Merry Christmas to all from the Barrowburn mob.

21/12/2022

Happy third birthday and much love to our dearest Jess. Ready to pop with her own little ones due on the 27th. 🎂❤️🐾

27/11/2022

We always think Jess is the prettiest girl around. It was lovely that others think so too. Jess won the prettiest girl competition at the inaugural Border Collie Club of SA Fun Day yesterday.

It was a lovely fun day. Thanks to all who worked so hard to organise and run it. Thanks BC Club of South Australia

22/11/2022

Max (Collinda Time to Fly) and Jess (Beecee Love Actually) are delighted to announce that they are expecting. The little bundles of joy, fluff and chaos should arrive around Christmas.

29/10/2022

Max chillin’ at the All Breeds Kennel Club show. Not competing just visiting friends.

This should be fantastic

Want to be on the next Muster Dogs?

We’re excited to be in development for the second series, and the production team are looking for new participants to take on the challenge of training a Border Collie puppy.

For the chosen participants, the journey to train this smart and loyal breed for mustering will create a unique bond, and a deeper understanding between human and dog, all under the watchful eye of respected trainers. The second series will continue to entertain and inform audiences about the ancient herding art form as well as tell the remarkable stories of graziers from across Australia as we explore the challenges facing their industry.

If you have a passion for dog handling and work in regional Australia on a property with livestock, we want to hear from you.

Please email [email protected] with the following information:
(1) Full name and age (2) Location (3) Dog training experience (4) Why do you want to participate in the show? and (5) Tell us an interesting fact about yourself, your life, or your experiences.

Good luck.

Over the Easter long weekend, Max (Collinda Time to Fly) and Jess (Beecee Love Actually) had their first Agility and Jumping events. While we still have a lot of learning to do - especially me as a handler, I was pleasantly surprised at how well they did. Often only one fault off qualifying (usually my fault). Thanks Jenny Barnes Photography for these wonderful pictures.

UPDATE: Thanks everyone for your interest. Bailey has found a wonderful family and he will have a border brother too. 🥰

With great reluctance, Bailey “Barrowburn By Demand” may be available to the right person/family. 9.5 months old from Jess’s litter. He has started obedience training. Bailey has the best temperament and is very cuddly and loving. Email [email protected].
