Each puppy born into the Arizona Border Collie family is given the best care possible in hopes of ensuring a bright future.  To maintain our quality standards we only have a few litters of puppies each year, primarily fall to spring.  The heat in Arizona can be hard on new born puppies, thus we choose not to breed during that time.  Upon arrival they visit ou veterinarian at Briarcrest Veterinary Care Center in Tucson, Arizona to ensure they are in the very best of health after arriving.  They return to Briarcrest several times for deworming and vaccination prior to going to home with their new families.  Our goal is to provide our AZBC kids with the best homes possible.  Although Border Collies are great dogs, cute and loving, they do require a family/person willing to provide them with a great deal of stimulus and outlet for their energy.  Be sure to check out the breed to know more about them.

Following is a great deal of information, some of the important things we try to remember to tell everyone. 

Arizona Border Collie Puppies are bred for performance ability which COULD make the puppy unsuitable as an ordinary pet.  Border Collies need to be exercised every day mentally and physically.  Introducing, almost daily and on a continuous basis, tasks of agility, obedience and even tricks will keep them from becoming a walking disaster in your household (normal walks is not sufficient for most Border Collies.)

  

Border Collies requires basic obedience from puppy hood and will benefit from some sort of regular energetic exercise.  If you are unable to train and work the pup on stock which is the most preferable pastime for any Border Collie, try frisbee or agility.  They are brilliant retrievers and usually love swimming.  They have good scenting abilities and can be taught to track people etc. The Border Collie is the perfect all-round friend, partner and bed warmer.  Arizona Border Collie puppies are currently working in herding, obedience, agility and flyball, as well as service dogs.  They are easily trained or can easily train you if you do not keep them engaged.  They can make great family pets for someone who is willing to commit to their needs.

We start puppies on food at three weeks of age and begin introducing them to multiple stimuli’s as soon as their eyes open.  The puppies are familiarized with different floor surfaces, noises and types of handling.  They are held on their backs, paws held, mouths touched to help them become used to these types of handling.  They are socialized with other family pets and have very limited exposure to outside dogs to help protect their health.  Health of the puppies is very important to us.

Thank You
I (Maci) have the unique privilege of working with over 160 veterinary clinics in Southern Arizona and want to extend my thanks to them for all their assistance in keeping our Arizona Border Collies healthy and happy.  A special thanks to the staff at
Briarcrest Veterinary Care Center for their continue support of all our endeavors.





























Each puppy will be treated with internal parasite dewormer at the age appropriate.  In addition, they will have their first Distemper, Parvovirus, Adenovirus 2, Parainfluinza shots at 8 weeks by a licensed veterinarian with MLV vaccines to help insure the best quality in standard of care. 

These initial vaccinations should be followed up with a second booster at 11/12 weeks.  We encourage vaccination out to 16 weeks with an addition of Corona Virus, Lepto, Kennel Cough (Bordetella) and Rabies added into the vaccination protocol, as recommended by your veterinarian. 

Additionally, all puppies will be treated with Frontline Plus at 6 weeks and started on Heartgard Plus.
 

Please be sure to have your puppy examined by your veterinarian and provided them with the appropriate record information.  The vaccinations, heartworm medication and flea and tick product will help you ensure the health of your new family member and will save you some added dollars to cover all the toys you are going to need to keep your kid busy. 

 

All puppies will be registered with American Border Collie Association

at four months of age to allow for their new families to pick their names.  Owners can register with the American Kennel Club if they choose. 

 

Our Border Collie breeding parents have undergone penn-hip testing to help in controlling hip dysplasia that Border Collies have been know to acquire.  Additionally our kids are tested for Collie Eye Anomaly (CEA).
