This is one of the traits I love most about Lucy’s lines, they’re so sweet and patient with the boys. They have a high mental tolerance and a deeper knowing. Now, do I expect them to take whatever my toddler dishes out? Absolutely not! Do I leave them together unsupervised? Huge no! With these dogs I’m not concerned they might react, but it’s more for the protection of the dogs, as toddlers can be rough on anything and in exploring cause harm. I value that patience in our dogs, and I absolutely want to protect that! So that means I watch and monitor my son, show him how we interact with dogs, and make sure he doesn’t do things that make the dogs dread seeing my kid. The patience they have is valuable in teach my kids how to treat animals with respect, and gives grace while I’m teaching that. But it ABSOLUTELY is NOT something to be taken for granted to just assume the dog will take these behaviors continuously and amplified, which would happen if I left him unattended with any animal. If you have a dog that is patient with your toddlers, know how valuable that is and protect that in the dog so they can continue to be patient and enjoy your little kids, and not become scared or tense around them in fear of what might be coming and expected of them to endure needlessly. Good bless high tolerance and patient dogs, and Bless the moms who are intentional with their kids to supervise and teach them how to interact with these amazing souls ♥️

Absolutely 💯. Breeding goals matter! Solid, confident genetics that can handle stimulation, environmental changes, stress of problem solving don’t just happen, what you breed to matters in the pups.

Chance 🔥
He’s our smooth coat black and white tri ABCA/AKC male that we added to our program. He very much has the traits we love as well as a couple traits that we would like to strengthen in our lines. We aren’t really looking at going to a smooth coat however our first goals are temperament, health, mental stability, ability, and secondary are color and coat.
Chance is a very light and biddable fellow, with an extremely open and friendly temperament that doesn’t have a hint of aggression with anyone or anything. He absolutely loves every person, dog, creature he comes in contact with! He has high food and toy drive, very nice herding ability and great sense of special control, very confident and environmentally solid, topped of with the brightest and happiest view of the world 🌸🌷 We absolutely love him and are so excited to see him crossed onto Lucy x Clancy daughters 😍♥️

Reggie ❣️
Lucy x Clancy daughter who is a gorgeous Lilac Merle ♥️ It’s so hard to catch how beautiful her coat is with a camera, and her beautiful clear Blue eyes 💎. The sweetest girl with a heck of a nose to her, and great herding instinct, with the mental stability and toughness, loyalty, and insight of her parents and softness of her mom. She’s definitely a special one 💕

♥️ Where have we been?♥️

We’re sure many of you have been wondering what we’ve been up to, if we were still involved with Border Collies, or even still on the planet. The answer is yes, we still have our Border Collies and still at the farm. We just took a break from producing pups due to a few things;
1. The influx of breeders after the 2020 explosion and the flood of puppies on the market.
2. We needed to focus on other aspects of the farm and our family.
3. We had a surprise pregnancy ourselves 😂♥️.

We will continue to produce 1 or two litters a year, mostly to continue Lucy’s lines as we are absolutely in love with them and the quality they bring as partners, family members, sport companions, livestock help, therapy support, service animals, and a steady friend to so many.

They have been such a blessing to us and our kids. We’re looking forward to sharing our adventures with our dogs again and also litters when we do have them ♥️

Very much agree with this! Dogs are pack animals, not social butterflies. Contrary to what we think they aren’t wired to go “hang out” with other dogs. Their whole world is and should be their pack, wolves and coyotes do not go outside their own territory to “have tea time” with another pack, if they are outside their territory they will be confronted and worse by the pack whose territory it is. The greatest way to develop a healthy, stable dog is to teach them to focus on you and engage with you (their pack) no matter where you are and set them up from being thrown into a “gang battle” environment. 🐾

This question and answer with Ed Frawley outlines why we do not recommend dog parks. Dog parks are growing in popularity every day but they are a bad idea fo...
