Hello there! Long time no post!

The dogs have been busy pursuing success in the sport world! Zodiak has achieved a new PB in dock of of 14.3' and has another invite to NADD regionals this year. We are also working on his RATM title in Barn Hunt (we trial this weekend!) We've also started NASDA and only need a couple more points to earn his 1st title there.
Phoenix has been rocking the dock with a current PB of 21ft! She has earned her DM title and is working on earning her DSA title for an invite to NADD Regionals. Shes also earned her BCAT title and will make her BHA debut this weekend alongside Zodiak and Zabrini for a chance to earn her RATN title!

No litters are planned for the foreseeable future at this time as Phoenix continues to build her ladder to success in multiple sport venues. Pending health testing, we may be looking at a 2027 litter with an outside stud, TBD.

Pumpkin Spice & Everything Nice! πŸŽƒ

Is anyone else carving pumpkins this weekend? I'm not entirely sure what I'm going to attempt to carve this year, but I'm thinking of trying a border collie on one and a scary face on the other!
My PreK4 class today will be carving a pie pumpkin with their parent and theeeeennn... we are mixing ingredients inside the pumpkins to make them "throw up"! 🀣 I love bringing the magic of the holidays into my classroom!

How do you celebrate Halloween?

Phoenix played Toss N Fetch for the 1st time this afternoon and I am so proud of her! We are doing rollers of course since she's still just a baby but this baby got 7pts and started to learn "around" after just a couple tosses! πŸ₯°

Acadiana Flyers: K9 Frisbee Toss & Fetch League lasts for 5 weeks and is just $15/dog! There is still time to join! Placement ribbons are awarded weekly!

Hello Autumn! πŸ‚

Louisiana has started feeling the first signs of fall with lower humidity and morning temps in the 60s. It felt fantastic to be able to play with the dogs for more than 10 minutes the other day! Phoenix is growing into an awesome little dog! I can't wait to share some of her photos after our upcoming Dock Diving practice and trials.

I'm looking forward to the next couple of months with FastCAT, NADD & BHA trials coming up. It's sure to be tons of fun! πŸŽƒπŸ˜

2024 South Central NADD Regionals!

This was our 1st time getting an invite to regionals and Zodiak jumped very well! He ended up placing 15th out of 24 dogs. He just started jumping in the Junior division last year so I figured he wouldnt be placing in the top 5 but I wanted the experience for us both and we had fun! 😁

Batten down the hatches! πŸŒ€β›ˆοΈ

Hurricane Francine is on her way to us! Our location is receiving a direct hit from this storm. My husband has reassured me that we will be fine and he is not expecting us to have any major damage. But storms are unpredictable, so we are still taking the necessary precautions!
Thankfully, we are both off work tomorrow during the expected landfall. We are praying for those who will be more impacted than ourselves as families on the coast are taking the brunt of the storm.

We're all fixing to be some wet Dawgs, but we got this! Stay safe, everyone!

Our Story

We are a small family owned kennel located in Opelousas, LA just outside of Sunset, LA. I fell in love with the Border Collie breed after we brought home our first pup in early 2012, Zahara ShaBeeb. Zahara (AKA Beeb) is the perfect all around family dog. I wanted to produce dogs exactly like her for others to enjoy and so I began searching for studs to breed to. That's how it all began. Our border collie's come from mostly show bloodlines with some working bloodlines mixed in as well, making our dogs less driven and better for the active family life. We only produce one litter a year and focus on providing excellent companion dogs for families! Our puppies have proven to be great family dogs and would excel in hobby activities such as agility, flyball, dock diving or anything else you could think of for them to try! Our dogs are not registerable at this time and are strictly bred to be loving, active family pets or helpful farm dogs. After all, a piece of paper cannot love you back ;) But, we do plan on looking into CKC registering in the future! Our preferred method of contact is by Facebook message or a phone call. Thank you for your interest in one of our puppies, we look forward to hearing from you & providing you with "quality companionship" in the form of the worlds smartest breed of dog; the border collie!
