Meet Miss Ivy, Our Stunning Dark Sable Border Collie Puppy!
Looking for a beautiful, intelligent, and absolutely charming new companion? Meet Ivy, a gorgeous dark sable female from our latest litter of working-line Border Collies. With her striking coat and soulful dark eyes, she is already showing the early signs of a star.
The Dark Sable Beauty
Ivy is a rare find with a truly captivating dark sable coat. This means her fur has a rich, deep base (like burnished chestnut) with prominent dark overlay and black tips, creating a complex and elegant "agouti" pattern. The distinct black mask on her face and the crisp white accents on her chest and paws make her unique and absolutely stunning.
Personality: Just Blooming
At just a few weeks old, Ivy’s unique personality is just starting to blossom. What we are seeing already is a pup who is:
Observant: She’s not just a cute face; she is incredibly attentive to her surroundings and seems to process information quickly.
Responsive: She’s showing early signs of the breed’s desire to please, responding attentively to soft voices and gentle interaction.
Curious: While still a sleepy pup, she is beginning to explore her littermates and environment with cautious wonder.
The Border Collie Promise
This breed is legendary for its intelligence, athleticism, and intense loyalty. Ivy is bred from lines that excel in work and companionship. While Border Collies require plenty of exercise and mental stimulation, their trainability is unparalleled. Ivy would thrive with a family committed to loving her.
Is Ivy the perfect addition to your life?
We are looking for a forever home that understands and embraces the active and intelligent nature of a Border Collie.

Frequently Asked Questions
About
Border Collie
Puppies
What's the personality of a Border Collie?
Border Collies are one of the smartest and most focused breeds around. These sweet dogs are happiest when they have an activity to do or job to work on, whether it’s playing fetch, digging a hole, or keeping an eye on you. Full-grown, they typically weigh 30-55 pounds and stand 18-22 inches tall.
Do Border Collies get along with kids?
Border Collies are generally okay with older children who know how to handle dogs. The Border Collie gets along well with other pets and children, but it may try to dominate dogs of the same sex. They should be socialized as puppies with small, non-canine pets so they can overcome their natural prey instincts. They're fairly vocal dogs that bark regularly.
Are Border Collies couch potatoes or do they need a lot of exercise?
Border Collies need high-energy owners to satisfy their appetite for exercise and activity. If they get bored or restless, they’re known to act out. The best way to keep Border Collies active is to give them work to do, whether it’s an exercise like running or a game like Frisbee. Overall, their exercise needs are very high.
What should I expect with Border Collie shedding?
Border Collies have thick, shiny undercoats and colorful outer coats that come in several colors, including solid, bicolor, tricolor, merle (lighter coat with speckled patches), or sable (light undercoat with black-tipped hairs). These dogs are average shedders that don’t need much grooming. Brush them once or twice a week to keep their coats clean, and only bathe them when needed. Grooming-wise, this breed is moderate.
How much space does a Border Collie need?
Border Collies are best suited for a home with a yard, though they can adapt to apartment life with enough exercise. They’re adaptable to just about any living setting, so as long as they get enough exercise and attention, they will be happy spending time indoors, outdoors, in warm climates, or cooler places. They are highly trainable and eager to learn.
Puppy Buyer's FAQ
See Full Guide Here
Visit or Video Call the Breeder
Visit in person if possible, or request a live video call to meet the puppy, see its living conditions, and meet the mom. Ask to see where the dogs eat, sleep, and play.
Get a Vet Exam Immediately
Have a vet examine the puppy within two days of bringing it home, even if it seems healthy.
Request Complete Health Records
Ask for vaccination records, deworming history, and vet exam results. For purebreds, ask for parent health clearances.
Get Everything in Writing
Written contract with health guarantees, return/refund policy, and spay/neuter terms. Verbal promises are unenforceable.
Use Secure Payment Methods
Pay with a credit card or another traceable method that offers buyer protection. Avoid wire transfers, crypto, or gift cards, which are difficult to recover.
Verify Breeder Credentials
Check USDA license, state breeder license, breed club memberships, and reviews. Ask for buyer references.
Know What to Look For
A trustworthy breeder welcomes visits, specializes in one or two breeds, prices fairly, and gives you time to decide without pressure.
Know Your State's Laws
Some states have lemon laws; others rely on contract law. Know your rights before you buy.
