How many puppies can you fit in a basket? Answer below.

We occasionally breed from our dogs. Usually if we, or someone we know and trust, would like a puppy from our lines. We are very careful when choosing prospective homes for our puppies, as anyone who has one will tell you. This is to give the puppy and the new owner the best possible start in life.

We are also very careful when choosing the dogs that we breed from. All of our dogs are health screened and are DNA tested normal for CEA, TNS and hip scored before they are considered for breeding. We choose stud dogs that have a sound temperament, have been health tested and have characteristics that will complement our girls well. 

Fenborders puppies are born and raised in our home. When they are about three weeks old we begin socialising them, they meet visitors to our home and are regularly handled. They also learn how to play with our children and our other dogs. They become familiar with the sounds that they will meet in their new homes such as: hoovers, washing machines, dishwashers etc. We also take them for short car journeys with their mum to help them feel relaxed on their journey home. This all helps the puppies to be confident around the everyday sounds, sights and smells that they will encounter when they leave us.

Our puppies are eye tested and vet checked at 6 weeks and are wormed up to date, before going to their new home at 8 weeks.They leave with a comprehensive puppy pack with full feeding/care guide, a life time of support and four weeks free insurance (which we highly recommend you continue). 

We have forged some wonderful friendships over the years with Fenborders' owners. We do expect our puppy owners to keep in contact with us and send emails and photos of the dogs regularly. In return, we offer a lifetime of support and are always at the end of the phone to offer help and advice, even for the seemingly silly things that crop up. We try very hard to choose a forever home for our puppies. Unfortunately, there are times when, due to a change in circumstances the dog may need re-homing. Before our puppies go home we ask their new owners to sign an agreement to state that, if they are no longer able to look after their dog, the dog will be returned to us for re-homing.

We have re-mated Jazz to Quiz and the puppies were born on the 24th of September. You can see this litter by following the link to Current Litters.

Jazz - Fenborders Jazzmatazz

D.O.B 01.11.2007

Kennel Club Good Citizen Silver.

Health Tests:

BVA Hipscore 6-3, DNA tested Normal for CEA and CL.  TNS - Hereditary Normal, BAER - Tested Normal, Current BVA eye certificate, Goniodysgenesis - Unaffected.

Jazz, who is from Jess' second litter, is a very affectionate girl and is very much a people dog. She loves attention and cuddles but is equally happy to spend lots of time playing with our other dogs, especially her litter brother Gus. She is very gentle and kind. She is just as happy to curl up for a cuddle as to go running through fields and muddy puddles. Jazz has bags of personality, natural instinct and drive. She has been lightly and successfully shown in the breed ring. She started her agility training during late summer '09, a discipline which she was introduced to later than her brother, due to her breed ring work early on. But inspite of that, she is showing great promise with a combination of speed and accuracy with neat, tight turns. We are looking forward to seeing her in competition this year.

Quiz - Resleap Christmas Cracker SHCM
D.O.B. 24.12.02
Health Tests: 
DNA tested Normal for CEA, TNS and  CL. Current BVA eye certificate PRA clear, Goniodysgenesis - Unaffected, BVA Hip score 6-4 and DNA Profiled.

Quiz, who is owned and much loved by his breeder Voirrey Paesler of Resleap Border Collies; is a total gentleman in every way. He is gentle and kind, has a superb character and a lovely temperament, plus he adores his cuddles. He enjoys running in the fields with the best of them and his gentle nature shines through with everything he does. He has stunning movement in the Breed ring and has numerous successes under his collar, including his Show Certificate of Merit.

We expect the puppies from this litter to be black and white, rough coated and suitable for Agility, Obedience or the Breed ring. We can guarantee that puppies from this mating will not be affected by or carry CEA, TNS or CL. We are confident that these pups will be of sound temperament and be suitable for pet or 'working' homes.
