Continuing Education & Professional Development
At Mockingbird Border Collies, we believe responsible breeding requires more than experience alone. It requires curiosity, continued education, and a willingness to keep learning.
Our responsibility to the breed extends beyond the dogs we produce. It includes staying informed, developing our knowledge, and continually improving the decisions we make as breeders, exhibitors, and advocates for the Border Collie.
The world of canine health, genetics, reproduction, behavior, training, and breeding practices continues to evolve. We believe it is important to grow alongside that knowledge rather than rely solely on what we have learned in the past.
Through continuing education courses, seminars, workshops, professional development programs, and breed-specific educational opportunities, we actively work to expand our understanding and strengthen the foundation of our program.
