OUR BORDER COLLIES
TAG
ABCA AKC Red Jamie
Tag is a gorgeous, long haired boy who loves to herd and play. He is started in agility and herding. He adds great structure and style to our puppies. Tag is fierce in the herding pen as he isn't afraid of add some bite to a heel or get in front of a critter that isn't listening. Tag's parents have been working in herding their entire lives. Tag has a wonderful temperament and is very loyal to Sage. His puppies are working in herding, agility, flyball and therapy - all with his great mind, willingness to work, figure out new things and work hard.
