I'm extremely excited to announce that we will be having puppies next month! I took Venus to the vet this morning and confirmed her pregnancy via ultrasound. The vet said they saw at least 2 puppies.
Venus was bred to Deakon, a handsome show line stud owned by Grace Miyahara (Poindexter Border Collies out of California). I am so grateful to her and Emily Meena for allowing me to use Deakon for this breeding.
Thank you to Hannah Blackbird, my co-breeder, for giving me the best girl I could've ever asked for, and for being a wonderful friend and support system for me throughout everything.

Deakon is a wonderful farm dog, and, while he leaves herding to the others, he prefers to play mommy to the baby animals. He finished his AKC Championship at 10 months of age, and his Grand Championship at 1.5 years of age. He is a lovely, well-mannered service dog who dabbles in scent work. We chose Deakon for his good looks and amazing temperament. We hope to create more stable, driven dogs with this pairing.
Deakon is 21.25” at the withers and 52 pounds.

Venus is everything I wanted in a dog and more. She is a lovely companion and an even better teammate. We have played around in many sports and she loves them all. Her favorite ones are anything having to do with her nose. After this litter she will be taking a couple years off to compete in higher levels and grow her resume even more.
Venus is 21” at the withers and 48 pounds.
At this time, the waitlist for this litter is OPEN. I am accepting applications here:

I am expecting balanced puppies that will excel in multiple sport venues. At this time, I am not planning to place any puppies on breeding contracts. Active families or people wanting to dip their toes into the sport world would make the perfect home for one of these puppies! All puppies will either be black and white or blue merle.
You can follow the litter along on my personal page or here!
All puppies will be sold on a contract. We will place puppies based on temperament testing and structural evaluations at 8 weeks old. We do not allow people to pick their own puppies.
