OUR BORDER COLLIES

SMOKE

ABCA AKC Strikers Smoke

Smoke is phenomenal in looks and ability. She is a medium to rough coat border collie with ticking. Smoke is an inside and outside dog who works in herding. Her personality is exceptional in kindness with a strong drive to work. Smoke carries dilute as her mom is a blue border collie, and her pups show ticking just like her her dad. Her pedigree shows import lines from Wales, Scotland, Netherlands and UK. Her parents are working in goose management and general farm herding.

Several of Smoke's past pups have been tested in hips, elbows, eyes, teeth with excellent results.

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.
