Working female Border Collie in Kilkenny

We are pleased to introduce our female Border Collie puppy, located in Kilkenny. She comes from a distinguished bloodline of working dogs. Her father, a brown and white Border Collie, is an exceptional cattle and sheep dog, while her mother, black and white, is also a remarkable cattle dog. This puppy is very intelligent and shows all the signs of being easy to train. Raised in a farm and family environment, she would make an excellent companion or family pet. For more information, please contact me.

Border Collies are renowned for their intelligence, agility, and strong work ethic. They excel in herding and are highly trainable, making them excellent candidates for obedience and agility training. They thrive in environments where they have plenty of mental and physical stimulation. This breed is ideal for active families or individuals who enjoy outdoor activities and can provide them with the exercise they need. Our puppy is vaccinated and wormed, ensuring she's in the best health to join her new home.
