Description:

Border collie puppies for sale, ready to leave at the end of November. - £400 each.

These are from a great working line and the behaviours of their parents show this. Would be great to train for any purpose, very intelligent dogs. Originally, the mother was from a working farm background, but lives now on a nature reserve with goats where no sheep are present and thus just lives a free range happy life. However you can see in the way they eye up the goats, they would make great sheep dogs.

The dad, if we were to train him would make a great working dog, he has the behaviours for it and I am sure the pups will too!

These puppies are raised on a raw food diet and it would be great if anyone buying these look into this before considering purchase. They are the healthiest little pups and by putting them onto dry/canned food might be detrimental to their health seeing as they have never adjusted to such food.

Raw diet is pretty simple... we feed them raw chicken bones (easily found in frozen bags from tesco chicken wings usually) and from the local butcher we get a pet mince which is organ and muscle meats to create the whole balance of what they would have eaten in a fresh kill. Alternatively you can feed them muscle meat and organ meat whole. Eventually we will be feeding our dogs from our own livestock through our efforts to become fully self-sufficient.

If you would like to know more please do not hesitate to get in touch. The pups will need micro-chipping before 8 weeks of age, and this I will get done at the expense of the buyer, this should be approximately £20 at most. Unfortunately it is a new legality otherwise I personally would not have them done. I have yet to look into this as the pups cannot be chipped till 6 weeks of age. If I can find somewhere local to me to do it for free then there will be no extra charge.

They will not be vaccinated on our side... it is up to the owner if they wish to do this. Being in the environment we raise them they develop a natural immunity and this is evident in how healthy their parents are living off the raw diet and being free range in the countryside.

There are 8/9 available puppies, and if my counting skills are up to scratch, there are 5 boys and 4 girls. Photos and other information will be updated as and when I have it.

Please note there are 10 pups in total, but I am considering keeping one or two of the tri-colour girls.
